Claim 14:
15. One or more non-transitory computer-accessible storage media storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
receive, by an IoT service of a provider network from a client, a request to register an edge device of a remote network of the client with the IoT service, wherein the IoT service manages an edge network of edge devices, and wherein the request comprises a requested device ID, and wherein according to a radio communication protocol used by the edge device, a portion of a join request from a given edge device to join a given network is reserved for assignment of a device ID that uniquely identifies the given edge device with respect to other edge devices of the given network;
determine whether there are one or more edge devices registered with the IoT service based on a duplicate device ID for the one or more edge devices that matches the requested device ID;
in response to a determination that one or more edge devices are registered with the IoT service based on the duplicate device ID, determine whether to accept the request to register the edge device with the duplicate device ID, wherein the program instructions when executed on or across the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine whether the requested device ID for the edge device is unique with respect to other device IDs associated with other registered devices for a client account of the client; and
in response to a determination to accept the request to register the edge device, registering the edge device with the IoT service as a registered edge device based on the duplicate device ID.
