Inconsistancy with Work_mode on different devices

As I have been working through devices to support i have run into allot of inconsistent usage of the Work_Mode capability between devices. Here are a few examples

The H7126 uses gearMode(workMode =1) with a option value of 1 for Sleep while a H7122 and the H7120 sleep mode(workMode = 5) with a option value of 0.

It doesn't stop with that kind of different though. Then I also have a H7106 Tower fan that uses sleep modea as (workMode=3) with a option value 0f (1 through 8)

I would hope that these values would be standardized across device types if possible so while integrators are creating their programs the responses are consistent across devices. I see this making it much harder to implement a integration then it should be.

I am not sure how you would fix this now, but I think every effort should be made to reuse the same values when the naming and such is identical
