Using Maintenance mode

This feature lets you place devices in Maintenance mode. Any device placed in Maintenance mode will not be polled, actions will not be triggered, and logging activity is disabled, but it remains in the device list with an identifying icon. By default, the maintenance state is represented by an orange background color.
