Device States
The Device States API provides functionality to retrieve information about device states.
Description
The Device States API provides functionality to retrieve the current and historical state information for devices. It allows client applications to access consistent device state data, supporting clearer operational visibility and enabling downstream systems to make accurate decisions based on the status of a device.
Use Cases
The Device States API may be used by client applications wishing to:
Retrieve the current state of a device, enabling applications to understand its operational status (for example, active, suspended, or inactive).
Map device state codes to descriptive state names using consistent identifiers, ensuring upstream systems can correctly interpret device state data across operational and reporting flows.
Track changes in device state over time, supporting monitoring, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management of connected devices.
