Preferably this info goes in the description in the schema.

Better here to have a paragraph description more of the why than the what & how.

You can add some more detail here on the true/false cases.

Here's an attempt at a paragraph for the GET endpoint. Nothing special needed for PATCH. Ideally there would be a description for the endpoint as a whole but I don't see how to do it, so I've just put this kind of background in the GET section. --- Alternatively it could go up in the preliminary chapters.
The panel endpoint is used to adjust the behavior of the front-panel on certain Smart by Bond products. In particular, in-wall fan and light switch products can be set to "Keypad Mode" where key presses send BondSync messages (similar to a Sidekick keypad) rather than directly controlling the attached light or fan device. This is intended to be used in multiway switch configurations. To set up "3-way", enable Keypad Mode on the switch which does not directly control the device. The switch will then appear as a Sidekick and can be channel-linked to the main switch which does directly control the appliance.
