Steps
Authenticate and obtain an accessToken as with any Metasys API call
GET /api/objects/{id}/commands to list the commands available for that object; each entry's commandBodySchema documents its parameters, a priority field (referencing writePriorityEnumSet), and an annotation field
Pick the desired command from the list and note its command name/id
Send the command to the object with a request body containing parameters, an optional priority level, and an optional annotation string
Confirm the command took effect by re-reading the object's attributes or present value
Known gotchas
The exact HTTP verb and path for invoking a specific command (as opposed to listing available ones) differs by API version - confirm against the version-specific reference before scripting it
Priority values map to a BACnet-style priority array (1-16); a lower-numbered (higher-priority) write elsewhere in the system can silently override your command
Only users whose Metasys profile grants command/override permission can issue commands, even if they can read the object
