After commissioning, use `chip-tool` to send cluster commands to the device. Replace `<node-id>` with the node ID assigned during commissioning and `<endpoint-id>` with the Matter endpoint number on the device (typically 1).

## Toggle the On/Off state

Send a `toggle` command to flip the current On/Off state:

    chip-tool onoff toggle <node-id> <endpoint-id>Copy to clipboard

For example, to toggle endpoint 1 of node 1:

    chip-tool onoff toggle 1 1Copy to clipboard

To turn the device on or off explicitly:

    chip-tool onoff on 1 1Copy to clipboard

    chip-tool onoff off 1 1Copy to clipboard

To read the current On/Off state:

    chip-tool onoff read on-off 1 1Copy to clipboard
