 class Sensor(Device):
     """
     The sensor class provides a uniform interface for using most of the
-    sensors available for the EV3. The various underlying device drivers will
-    create a `lego-sensor` device for interacting with the sensors.
-
-    Sensors are primarily controlled by setting the `mode` and monitored by
-    reading the `value<N>` attributes. Values can be converted to floating point
-    if needed by `value<N>` / 10.0 ^ `decimals`.
-
-    Since the name of the `sensor<N>` device node does not correspond to the port
-    that a sensor is plugged in to, you must look at the `address` attribute if
-    you need to know which port a sensor is plugged in to. However, if you don't
-    have more than one sensor of each type, you can just look for a matching
-    `driver_name`. Then it will not matter which port a sensor is plugged in to - your
-    program will still work.
