A method for controlling a device may include obtaining a conflict-resolution setting from a plurality of available conflict settings. The conflict resolution settings may establish one or more rules for resolving conflicting commands received by the device from a first user and a second user. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on the conflict-resolution setting, a response to a second command issued by the second user that conflicts with a first command issued by the first user. The method may further include performing the response.
