Viewing Commands Previously Sent to a Device

In addition to Sending a Command to a Device, you can also view a historical list of commands that were previously sent to a device. The historical list is perhaps most valuable because it displays the status of each command, giving you an indicator of whether the command was received successfully.

2. On the Sessions entity tab within the left side panel, find the device you want to send a command to.
3. Click on the icon next to that device.
