	DeviceStatusActivated
	DeviceStatusDeactivated

	DeviceStatusUnknownValue = "UNKNOWN"
	DeviceStatusActivatedValue = "ACTIVATED"
	DeviceStatusDeactivatedValue = "DEACTIVATED"
)

func NewDeviceStatusFromString(value string) DeviceStatus {
	v := strings.ToUpper(strings.TrimSpace(value))
	switch v {
	case DeviceStatusUnknownValue:
		return DeviceStatusUnknown
	case DeviceStatusActivatedValue:
		return DeviceStatusActivated
	case DeviceStatusDeactivatedValue:
		return DeviceStatusDeactivated
	default:
		return DeviceStatusUnknown
	}

func (e DeviceStatus) Value() string {
	return [...]string{
		DeviceStatusUnknownValue,
		DeviceStatusActivatedValue,
		DeviceStatusDeactivatedValue,
	}[e]
