Abstract: A controller controls a sequence of actions at a device. The controller includes computer instructions that receive a plurality of user inputs and command information associated with an action for the device to perform. The first user input defines a target in a bed layout of the device. The second user input assigns the target to a first zone of the bed layout. The third user input assigns the target to a second zone of the bed layout. The fourth user input indicates an operational mode for controlling performance of the action. The operational mode includes a non-validation mode defining a state of operation wherein a device limitation is not imposed to restrict the action. The command information includes a command name identifying the action and a device identifier.
