Target state machine
A target has a current state which reflects the provisioning status of the device at this point in time. State changes are driven either by the update server by means of starting an update or by the controller on the provisioning target that gives feedback to the update server, e.g. “I am here”, “I am working on a provisioning”, “I have finished a provisioning”.

If you are using Bosch IoT Rollouts as part of your Bosch IoT Device Management subscription, an UNKNOWN state will be applied to any devices which you have provisioned via the Bosch IoT Suite UI or APIs and which have a softwareUpdatable feature, until they are first connected to the cloud infrastructure. Then, their state will change to REGISTERED.
