#### Known bugs / problems
Value readback / Inquiry is not yet implemented. This backend currently only does output.
Some manufacturers use VISCA, but require special framing for command flow control. This may be implemented
-in the future if there is sufficient interest.

Please file a ticket if you can confirm this backend working/nonworking with a new make or model
