Managing commands
The Commands view provides a centralized list of all the commands currently running, previously run, and set to run by trigger on devices for which you have access.
Note
The color of each command’s icon indicates its status:
Icon color | Command status |
---|---|
Applies to a single device or multiple devices | |
Applies to a group but is not persistent | |
Applies to a group and is persistent |
For more information about groups and persistent commands, see Making group commands persistent.
