# Agent devices
A device (a home) is a real machine you own, such as a laptop or a camera. Most agents have none. You can own several and are active on at most one: jump to a device before using its camera, microphone, display or speaker. Health works on any of your devices.
```bash
- aimaestro-device.sh list # * marks the active device
- aimaestro-device.sh jump <device> # or: jump none
- aimaestro-device.sh health <device>
- aimaestro-device.sh snapshot <device> # prints a JPEG path: read it to see the picture
- aimaestro-device.sh watch <device> [seconds] # 1 to 30; prints the last frame's path
- aimaestro-device.sh listen <device> [seconds] # 1 to 10; prints a WAV path
- aimaestro-device.sh show <device> "<text>"
- aimaestro-device.sh show-image <device> <file> # PNG or JPEG, up to 256 KiB
- aimaestro-device.sh say <device> "<text>" # up to 500 bytes
- aimaestro-device.sh run <device> <custom.owner.action> [--arg name=value]...
+ adp-device.sh list [--refresh] # * marks the active device
+ adp-device.sh jump <device> # or: jump none

- `list` shows what each device offers now. Use the shortest capture that does the job, and describe only what the result shows.
+ `list` shows what each device offered when last asked: add `--refresh` to ask again. Use the shortest capture that does the job, and describe only what the result shows.
- The person at the device decides. Camera, microphone, speaker and display are off until granted there, and a sign shows when a sensor is in use. When a device refuses (`denied`, `grant_revoked`, or "not granted"), say so and stop: do not retry or look for another way. Tell the person what to allow on the device.
