I'm sure this is "overly generic" but AFAIK DEVICE_STATE is for use with the
active dialplan and HINT can be used in the dialplan or externally with
AMI/AGI, etc.

Hi All,

If you used DEVICE_STATE function then there is no need to used HINT it work
independently. 

It's not become to confusion for me how to when to used HINT  and when
DEVICE_STATE ?

Hi All,

Below bold application gives the correct information with asterisk HINT
function.

exten => 222,1,NoOp( Call from Gtalk )
        same => n,NoOp(My phone state is currently
${DEVICE_STATE(SIP/2218)})
        same => n,Set(CALLERID(name)="From Google Talk")
        same => n,Wait(10)
        same => n,Dial(SIP/my_sip_phones)

Spatially thanks for Sammy who give me the way to get success on that way.

Hello,

AFAIK Hints are used for looking out for a device state before actually
doing anything. Hints can be used from Dial-plan, AMI, or AGI. An example
can be to look for state of a SIP user.   

Read these links for better understanding.
