The command you specified will be sent to all devices that are related to entries selected in the grid. And you may select more than one entry in the grid. To do so, use Shift or Ctrl button.

* Device management: WebSockets support has been improved. In addition, Devices (<server.url>/admin#devices) grid shows how the device interacts with TMS - via WebSockets or by using GET-POST methods.
