Those were just some functions I had to implement for a certain edge
case. You can name your functions anything. The only function that you
have to have is "init" which is executed on device bootstrap.

In the example scripts, the function init calls get. You can provide
different implementations for init and get.

There's a special preset configuration for custom commands. You need to
use that.

It's _customCommands.<command_name>.
