Strip model description example

The model shall be described in accordance with the model structure. The example describes a strip that can be switched on/off remotely, supports both the white light mode and the colour mode, can change its light intensity, colour and colour temperature. The strip has a time-out timer.

Besides, a dependency between the light_colour and light_mode functions is described for the model: the strip light colour may only be changed if switched to the colour mode.

Allowed values for the light_brightness function have also been changed: it is indicated that devices of this model can change the brightness from 10 to 900 at an interval of 1.
