webex: createDevice status %d

Error message

webex: createDevice status %d

What it means

The WDM (Webex Device Management) device registration POST returned an unexpected HTTP status. This guard fires after the request completed; a known cause of 400 is omitting required fields (name/model/localizedModel are mandatory, as noted in the comment), while 401 indicates a bad token.

Solutions

1. For 400, ensure the payload includes deviceName, name, model, localizedModel, systemName, systemVersion and deviceType as the code does
2. For 401/403, check the bot token and WDM access rights
3. Log the response body to surface the WDM error detail
4. Retry on 5xx with backoff at the caller level
