-  \class Gpio
-  \brief The Gpio class allows to interact with the GPIOs.
-
-  \ingroup hardware
-  \inmodule libnymea
-
-  A "General Purpose Input/Output" (GPIO) is a flexible software-controlled
-  digital signal. They are provided from many kinds of chip, and are familiar
-  to Linux developers working with embedded and custom hardware. Each GPIO
-  represents a bit connected to a particular pin, or "ball" on Ball Grid Array
-  (BGA) packages. Board schematics show which external hardware connects to
-  which GPIOs. Drivers can be written generically, so that board setup code
-  passes such pin configuration data to drivers
-  (\l{https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/gpio.txt}{source}).
-
-  General Purpose Input/Output (a.k.a. GPIO) is a generic pin on a chip whose
-  behavior (including whether it is an input or output pin) can be controlled
-  through this class. An object of of the Gpio class represents a pin.

-    \class GpioMonitor
-    \brief The GpioMonitor class allows to monitor GPIOs.
-
-    \ingroup hardware
-    \inmodule libnymea
-
-    An instance of this class creates a thread, which monitors each of the added GPIOs. The object
-    emits a signal if one of the added GPIOs changes its value. The GpioMonitor configures a GPIO as an
-    input, with the edge interrupt EDGE_BOTH (\l{Gpio::setEdgeInterrupt()}{setEdgeInterrupt}).
-
-    \chapter Example
-    Following example shows how to use the GpioMonitor class for a button on the Raspberry Pi. There are two possibilitys
-    to connect a button. Following picture shows the schematics:
-
-    \image Raspberry_Pi_Button_Example.png "Raspberry Pi button example"
-
-    Button A represents a clean solutin with a 10 k\unicode{0x2126} resistor (set up as activeLow = false).
-    Button B represents a "dirty" solution, were the 3.3V will be directly connected to the GPIO if the button is pressed (set activeLow = true).
-
-    Here is the code example for a button class:
-    \code
-          Button::Button(QObject *parent) :
-              QObject(parent)
-          {
-              m_button  = new GpioMonitor(110, this);
-              connect(m_button, &GpioMonitor::valueChanged, this, &Button::stateChanged);
-          }
-
-          bool Button::init()
-          {
-              return m_button->enable();
-          }
-
-          void Button::stateChanged(const bool &value)
-          {
-              if (m_pressed != value) {
-                  m_pressed = value;
-                  if (value) {
-                      emit buttonPressed();
-                  } else {
-                      emit buttonReleased();
-                  }
-              }
-          }
-    \endcode
