Page Functionalities
- Autoplay received commands Switch: This switch controls whether the smart terminal automatically executes up to two suggested commands when you provide an input. Turning this on can speed up your workflow.
- Clear terminal Button: Clicking the trash can icon next to this option will remove all past prompts and commands from your terminal's history. This is useful for clearing sensitive information or decluttering your view.
- Use reduced terminal height Switch: This setting is particularly useful for users on mobile phones or tablets. If you find the input field at the bottom of the screen is hidden, activating this option will reduce the terminal's height to make everything visible.
- End to end encryption Switch: This switch enables or disables encrypted communication between your device and the application. While it enhances security, please note that active encryption might slightly increase the time it takes to process commands on older hardware or IoT devices. If a connection is active, changing this setting will temporarily disconnect it.
- Preferred Language Dropdown: This dropdown menu allows you to select your preferred language for the application's interface. Once selected, the application will update to display text in your chosen language.
