+### Optional extras
+
+Some servers require additional dependencies that are not installed by default:
+
+| Extra | Server | Packages |
+|-------|--------|----------|
+| `nexity` | Nexity | boto3, warrant-lite |
+
+Install an extra with:
+
+```bash
+uv add "pyoverkiz[nexity]"
+# or
+pip install "pyoverkiz[nexity]"
+```
+
 ## Choose your server
 
 Use a cloud server when you want to connect through the vendor’s public API. Use a local server when you want LAN access to a gateway.

 - **Device helpers** — `Device.get_command_definition()` for looking up command metadata.
 - **Reference endpoints** — query server metadata: `get_reference_ui_classes()`, `get_reference_ui_widgets()`, `get_reference_ui_profile()`, `get_reference_controllable_types()`, etc.
 - **Firmware management** — `get_devices_not_up_to_date()`, `get_device_firmware_status()`, `update_device_firmware()`.
-- **boto3 lazy import** — `boto3` is only imported when the Nexity auth strategy is actually used.
+- **Optional Nexity dependencies** — `boto3` and `warrant-lite` are no longer installed by default. Install them with `pip install pyoverkiz[nexity]` if you use the Nexity server. A clear `ImportError` is raised at login time if the extra is missing.
