How to use how
I'm composing a sentence to express my wondering about how someone controls a device.
And I came up with a question: I am trying to ask what does the person do to make the device to something he wants, instead of asking what dose the person ask the device to do. I supposed that both of them can use 'how', but what's difference between the result sentences? If I say: "How is the device controlled?", what will people think the meaning is?

"How is the device controlled?" is fine. It is just a passive or impersonal version of "How do you control the device?"
