| Device State    | The device state you want to set on the target device. Xenioo will automatically translate the selected state to the relevant flag for the device | :no\_entry:                                                                |

### Remarks

Xenioo will send the selected device state regardless of the current device state. Depending on specific device executions, you may need to choose when to send a specific state request.
