It is possible to trigger remote actions immediately through the azeti Dashboard. 

We will use the example of an green LED which can be triggered on and off through an defined action.

<action action_id="Switch_LED_green" device_id="dev_X20BC0087">
    <commands>
      <command command_id="ON">write_single_coil(10,[1])</command>
        <command command_id="OFF">write_single_coil(10,[0])</command>
      </commands>
    </action>

This action needs to be configured in the Sensor Template and the be deployed to the according Location (See also How to deploy a Site Template).

If this action has been added to a Location, we will see a new action button in the Admin & Live table - My Organization → Locations → ExampleName

These actions are on the complete bottom of the Admin & Live table.

 

These actions can also be added to the Views under Views → Organization → ExampleName
