• present an indication that the requested change was successful in response to receiving of a message that indicates the requested change was accepted.

An Internet of Things (IoT) services system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising a plurality of instructions, that in response to being executed by the processor, cause the IoT services system to:
• process a change request that originated from a client computing device, wherein the change request specifies a requested change to an operating parameter of an IoT device;
• and
• in response to determining, prior to the requested change being applied to the IoT device, that an early indication of success is appropriate, transmit to the client computing device a first message that provides an indication of success for the requested change.
