You can control a resource by sending supported command requests to its connected control device. Depending on the actuators installed in the physical system — relays, motors, valves, and similar components — supported commands might include:
When a dashboard card shows Request sent, Waiting for device, or Offline pending, Realer is telling you that the request was accepted, not that the physical device has already completed it. Delivery started does not establish that the device received or applied the command. Applied means the device reported applying the value for that request; it is not independent verification of the physical system. A resource can remain Available while a command is waiting; the resource status describes whether the resource is usable, while the command row describes the request. The control may show the requested value so you can see what you asked for. That requested value is not the current state until the device confirms it with the matching request. Only an eligible low-risk quick action can replace an older low-risk request, and only before the device transport claims it; confirmation-mode, medium, claimed, and delivered requests are never silently replaced. If a card says Command unavailable, open the reason next to the command. A resource admin can review the Resource policy in Control settings, or check the device connection and seek assistance when the restriction concerns the device or platform. Read-only access does not allow commands.
