 class DeviceConnection(pydase.DataService, ABC):
+    """
+    Abstract base class for device connection management in the pydase framework.
+
+    This class forms the foundation for subclasses that manage connections to specific
+    devices. Implementers are required to define the `connect()` method and the
+    `connected` property. The `connect()` method should handle the logic to establish a
+    connection with the device, while the `connected` property should return the current
+    connection status.
+
+    An instance of this class automatically starts a task that periodically checks the
+    device's availability and attempts reconnection if necessary.
+
+    In the frontend, this class is represented without directly exposing the `connect`
+    method and `connected` attribute. Instead, it displays user-defined attributes,
+    methods, and properties. When the device connection is not established, the frontend
+    component is overlaid, allowing manual triggering of the `connect()` method. The
+    overlay disappears once the connection is re-established.
