1. A method, comprising:
receiving, with an Internet of Things (IOT) device via a network, a first network message that requests a first change be made to a first operating parameter of the IoT device;
initiating the first change to the first operating parameter;
transmitting, from the IoT device to the network, a second network message accepting the first change;
receiving, with the IoT device via the network, a third network message that requests a second change be made to a second operating parameter of the IoT device;
initiating the second change to the second operating parameter as requested by the third network message;
determining, with the IoT device based on proximity of a device that originated the third network message, not to transmit, prior to completing the second change to the second operating parameter, a fourth network message that specifies the second change has been accepted; and
after successfully completing the second change to the second operating parameter of the IoT device, transmitting, from the IoT device to the network, a fifth network message specifying that IoT has successfully made the second change to the second operating parameter.
