 +===== MoboNotify=====
 +The MoboNotify feature in MoboLaser represents a significant advancement in how users can interact with their laser show setups. Integrated seamlessly with PangoScript, it allows for the sending of custom push notifications directly to the MoboLaser app on both Android and iOS devices. This function is pivotal for real-time communication during shows, enabling prompt and efficient information dissemination.
 +
 +To leverage the MoboNotify feature, one must utilize the PangoScript environment. The process is straightforward and accessible, even for those with minimal scripting experience. Below is the basic command structure:
 +
 +//''**MoboNotify "Your message here"**''//
 +
 +{{:mobolaser:mobonotify.png?400|}} 
 +
 +By typing this command and replacing "Your message here" with your intended notification content, you will promptly send a push notification to all devices running the MoboLaser app. This functionality is designed to be as intuitive as possible, ensuring that important messages are never missed.
