The state is comprised of the [label](doc:device-messages#section-label), [power level](doc:device-messages#section-power-level) and [color](#section-hsbk).\n\nThere are a duplicate set of __device__ power related messages, [Device::GetPower](doc:device-messages#section-getpower-20), [Device::StatePower](doc:device-messages#section-statepower-22) and [Device::SetPower](doc:device-messages#section-setpower-21), which are extended for lights by adding a _duration_ field to [Light::SetPower](#section-setpower-117).\n\nThe [Protocol header](doc:header-description#protocol-header) _message type_ field value (decimal) appears after each message name in this document.
