I suspect you may be trying to do something that is not yet supported:
to my knowledge, the device state distribution that exists today is to
allow a device that is managed by *one* server to be visible to other
servers, so they can make decisions based on its state. It does not
support *multi-master* mode, where multiple servers are involved in
computing the state of a single device. For that to be possible, there
would have to be some 'owner' of the device to consolidate the
information from the servers involved.
