Touching "Settings" icon, you will see the configuration page. From here you can use the menu "Command Sets" to create or edit command sets, the menu "GSM Devices" to create or modify the devices you want to control, by entering a name for the device, the number of its sim card and a set of commands to use.
On setting the command, you can choose between SMS, DTMF or call.
Finally, from the "Password" menu, you can prevent unauthorized access to the application by setting a password and a security level.
You can also backup and restore the application database.
To send the command, simply select a device from the list of GSM devices and then the name given to the command to be sent. You can also change the command on the fly before sending it.

NB some IVR systems require a pause between two successive tones, in order to be processed. Just enter between one character and the other in the DTMF string, one or more commas. A comma inserts a pause of 2 seconds.
