The widget enables the user to send a command with parameters to a certain device.

Widget setting

The following image shows an example of a widget setting.

It is possible to customize the widget settings from the inspector panel (in edit mode), as shown below:

Input value	Description
Device	Type in a device name (or * to list all devices)
Command	Once a device is selected, select a command
Show Device Name	Displays the device name when enabled
Show Command Name	Displays the command name when enabled
Require Confirmation	Shows a pop-up to the user to confirm to send the command when enabled
Display Output	Displays the output coming from TANGO when enabled
Cooldown	Cooldown in seconds

Notice: For a command to be listed on the widget, the accepted parameters must be either a string or an integer

Widget design

Notice: To actually send a command to the device the user must hit ENTER key, if the “Require confirmation” is select a pop up will show to confirm the command to send.

At this point, the widget only accepts two types of parameters being a string or an integer.

All other types will give an error as a form of pop up for the user.
