    Finally I solved it. It was just necessary to PATCH the BIGIP through the BIGIQ by changing the state manually, as follows.

    data = {
        'state': 'ACTIVE'
    }
    url = "https://" + ip + "/mgmt/shared/resolver/device-groups/cm-bigip-allBigIpDevices/devices/4ad12733-95ea-47b0-a562-dd6ac6da5adc"
    response = requests.patch(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth('admin', 'psw'), json=data, verify=False)

     Thanks for everything!

What status does the device show in the Devices List in the BIG-IQ Web UI?

I'm working with virtual editions of both (BIG-IQ and BIG-IP) at the moment, and the BIG-IQ Web UI is always stucked in that message "Waiting for BIG-IQ services to become available...". Then I'm working via the tmsh, and also python requests.

    Got you. I'd recommend solving the waiting for services message, you could try restarting the system, but opening a case with F5 about it is probably the best option. I would not trust the results of the API if the webUI is not functioning.
