Subject: [PATCH] allow numeric messages for dimmable lamps allow non-dimmables
 to respond to "off", "low", "med", "hi", "max", "on"

number messages for dimmables:
0 turns the light off
1-3 sets it to "low"
4-7 sets it to "med"
8-11 sets it to "hi"
12+ sets it to "max" (i.e. full-on)

non-dimmables:
a number > 3 or the strings "med", "hi", "max", or "on" turn the light on
a number < 4 or the strings "off" and "low" turn the light off
