A way would be to follow this [article](https://www.universal-robots.com/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/ur-how-tos/dashboard-server-cb-series-port-29999-15690/) which gives an idea of how it works. To make a socket communication and send the command as stated in the article, a daemon would be recommended. For more information on daemon - read [this](https://www.universal-robots.com/developer/ur-cap/polyscope-x-design-guidelines/). An example on how to program a daemon can be found in the samples [MyDaemonSwing](https://github.com/UniversalRobots/MyDaemonSwing) on github.  
For the python part of the daemon, have a look at this [post](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/dashboard-communication-using-python-problem/3334/2). 🙂
