Commands

The Device editor provides a Commands panel to send remote commands to a managed device. Available commands depend on the platform (Android or Apple) and device state.

If the device is not currently online, the command will be delivered and executed as soon as the device connects to the Internet. For Android commands you can set the Duration parameter to determine for how long an undelivered command remains valid.

Android (AMAPI) commands

For Android devices, the Commands panel includes a Duration field (value + unit) and a Command selector. Some commands require additional parameters, which appear dynamically when you select the command.

Common parameters

  • Duration: how long the command is valid if it cannot be executed immediately.
  • Command: choose which action to send to the device.

Commands with additional fields

  • Reset password: requires New password and Confirm new password. Optional toggles include Lock now, Require entry, and Do not ask for credentials on boot.
  • Clear app data: requires the target Package name.
  • Start lost mode: requires a Lost message and supports optional contact fields (street address, organization, phone number, email).
  • Request device info: requires selecting which device information to request.
  • Add eSIM: requires an Activation code and an Activation state.
  • Remove eSIM: requires the eSIM ICCID.
  • Wipe: supports a Wipe reason message (shown to users on personal devices) and optional wipe flags.
