What it shows

  • Separates the control abstraction from hardware-specific implementations.
  • Adding M remotes and N devices requires M+N classes instead of M*N.
  • Allows hardware protocols to evolve without changing user-facing controls.

The takeaway

Prefer composition over inheritance by bridging your abstraction to an independent implementor.
