 ### Client Commands

+Clients communicate with the server by sending JSON-encoded commands. Each command must include a `command` field specifying the action to perform and the control `password` required to manage the Pomodoro timer. The password is set by the server (see [Usage](#usage)).
+
+If the client sends a command with an incorrect password it will not be allowed to control the Pomodoro, but will still receive server messages (see below). By default the password is an empty string which allows everyone to control the Pomodoro. In this case, the `password` field may be omitted in the client's command.

 | Command  | Action                              | Example Sent by Client            |

-| `start`  | Starts a new Pomodoro session       | `{"command": "start"}`            |
-| `pause`  | Pauses the current session          | `{"command": "pause"}`            |
-| `resume` | Resumes a paused session            | `{"command": "resume"}`           |
