Hello,

I’m using room controls to send commands to various devices. On the **5.1.0 (1612.0803)** I saw that support was added for incoming messages to prompt other controls.

I don’t see any reference to this on the Room Controls documentation. How would I be able to take advantage of this feature?

Thanks,

Luis
