By default, commands expect a device to be connected and fail if the device can't be reached. If you select the **Queue if offline** option in the device template UI a command can be queued until a device comes online. These *offline commands* are described in a separate section later in this article.

## Define your commands

2931
Standard commands are sent to a device to instruct the device to do something. A command can include parameters with additional information. For example, a command to open a valve on a device could have a parameter that specifies how much to open the valve. Commands can also receive a return value when the device completes the command. For example, a command that asks a device to run some diagnostics could receive a diagnostics report as a return value.

## Define your properties
2325

2426
Properties are data fields that represent the state of your device. Use properties to represent the durable state of the device, such as the on/off state of a device. Properties can also represent basic device properties, such as the software version of the device. You declare properties as read-only or writable.
