+"""Module for sending device specific commands to Roborock devices.
+
+This module provides a application-level interface for sending commands to Roborock
+devices. These modules can be used by traits (higher level APIs) to send commands.
+
+Each module may contain details that are common across all traits, and may depend
+on the transport level modules (e.g. MQTT, Local device) for issuing the
+commands.
+
+The lowest level protocol encoding is handled in `roborock.protocols` which
+have no dependencies on the transport level modules.
