Advanced configuration:

Some devices will require advanced configuration in order to toggle orientation properly. For those, you can use the following with SendTextCommand:

• For landscape orientation use: {LANDSCAPE_0}, {LANDSCAPE_90}, {LANDSCAPE_180}, {LANDSCAPE_270} to control the orientation and its direction.
• For portrait orientation use: {PORTRAIT_0}, {PORTRAIT_90}, {PORTRAIT_180}, {PORTRAIT_270}.

For example:

• {LANDSCAPE_90} is the equivalent of {PORTRAIT_0}.
• {PORTRAIT_180} is equivalent of the being device upside down.
