Command

A Command represents an action you can perform on a Device.

An instance of a Command object encapsulates information about that Command. You cannot create a Command object; you can retrieve them from a Capability or from a Device:

preferences {
    section() {
        input "theswitch", "capability.switch"
    }
}
...

// Get a list of Commands supported by theswitch:
def switchCommands = theswitch.supportedCommands
log.debug "switchCommands: $switchCommands"

// Iterate through the supported capabilities, log all suported commands:
// commands property available via the Capability object
def caps = theswitch.capabilities
caps.commands.each {comm ->
    log.debug "-- Command name: ${comm.name}"
}

---

    }

    log.debug "arguments for swithLevel command ${it.name}: ${it.arguments}"
