Driver-author guidance

If you're writing a NEW driver for the SDK, your guide should follow the same structure as the five above:

  1. Prerequisites — what hardware + what network setup
  2. Configuring the driver — the exact form fields, what to fill in
  3. Verifying — the local UI + command-line check
  4. Common pitfalls — at least 3, in order of likelihood. These are the scars; comment them in the driver code too.
  5. What Otonomo will do — separate observe vs active behaviour
  6. References — vendor docs, community projects, driver source

The structure is repeated for a reason: customers learn the pattern once and find new drivers' guides instantly. Don't deviate without a good reason.
