Description

**The Problem:** as a developer, have to learn the APIs for a number of different hardware devices; as a user, you have the NASCAR problem of a list of providers. Worse, if any individual company changes their API, then everything breaks.

**The Solutions:** Develop a uniform API and architecture with relatively few commands, with capability-discovering on error that help to answer the hardware and network side of things.
