Claim 5:
6. A method, comprising:
performing, by one or more computing devices of a provider network:
receiving, by an IoT service 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;
determining 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 determining that one or more edge devices are registered with the IoT service based on the duplicate device ID, determining whether to accept the request to register the edge device with the duplicate device ID, wherein determining whether to accept the request to register the edge device comprises determining 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 determining 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.
