+This directory is intended for a pool of devices already contributed by the community of OMOTE.
+Files in this directory won't get compiled by default.
+
+If you want to use one of these devices, then
+- copy the corresponding device folder from "/src/devices_pool/..." to "/src/devices/..."
+- add the corresponding call to "register_device_*()" into 'src/main.cpp' (and include the device header file in "src/mail.cpp" as well)
+- start using the commands defined by the device, e.g. by putting them in the hardware key map of "scene__default.cpp" or of a specific scene
