Is currently of the form:
-"devicename:colour"
+"devicename:colour:function"
There have been calls for LED properties such as colour to be exported as
individual led class attributes. As a solution which doesn't incur as much
overhead, I suggest these become part of the device name. The naming scheme
-above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed.
+above leaves scope for further attributes should they be needed. If sections
+of the name don't apply, just leave that section blank.
