FAQs
Q:1 Can the hub check whether a device has successfully registered to a specific environment?
No, the hub cannot directly check the registration status of a device. The hub can only maintain the association between the device and the environment as metadata. For the actual registration of the device, other systems or logs may be required. The hub only manages the relationship between the device and the environment, and not the result of the registration process.
