The "balena devices" command is used in the balena CLI (Command Line Interface) to list all the devices connected to the balenaCloud platform.
Balena is an open-source platform that allows users to deploy, manage, and update software on a fleet of IoT (Internet of Things) devices. When you deploy devices to balenaCloud, they become part of a fleet, and the "balena devices" command allows you to view information about these devices.
When the command is executed, it queries the balenaCloud server and retrieves details about all the connected devices. This information typically includes the device name, device UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), status, online/offline status, IP address, device type, release, application name, etc.
The command helps users to keep track of their fleet, identify individual devices, monitor their online status, and access other relevant information.
It is important to note that this command requires authentication with the balenaCloud platform, and you must be logged in to your account before executing it.
