	There's little to it. The commands are sent to whatever [[DCE]] Device is responsible. For example, if you add an [[X10]] [[CM11A]] interface, and then some lights that are controlled via that interface, the on/off/dim commands get sent to the interface since it implements [[DCE]], and the child devices (the lights) do not. The Lighting_Plugin and Climate_Plugin devices intercept any commands going to lighting or [[climate]] devices so it can keep track of their last known and execute [[follow-me]] actions.
