  module Cm17a
    
    # A CM17A device that responds to on/off and adjust (brightness)
    # commands.
    #
    # Typical use:
    #
    #  lamp = X10.device("a2")   # Create the device
    #  lamp.on                   # Turn the lamp on
    #  lamp.adjust(-0.5)         # Dim the lamp
    #  lamp.off                  # Turn the lamp off
    #
    class Device
      attr_reader :address, :controller
      
      # Create a new X10 device using a CM17A protocol controller.
      # Such a device can handle on/off commands and simple dim
      # controls.
      #
      # Normally device objects are created through the X10 framework
      # and not directly by the client software.
