the online state depends on the device. A Neuron-hosted
device, for example, will run its application after it has been
commissioned.

Offline. Places the device in the offline state. The behavior in

the offline state depends on the device. A Neuron-hosted
device, for example, will not run its application after it has been
commissioned. This is the default and can be used to bring up a
system incrementally.

When a device is offline, portions of its application may still
function and it will still respond to Online, Wink, and Test
commands. An offline device still receives network variable
updates, but it typically does not process updated network

is in the hard offline state, in which case it will remain offline
after a reset.

Disable. Disables the device’s application. The device

application will remain disabled, even if the device is reset. For
