determining whether the confirmation signal has been received, wherein when the confirmation signal is received at the computing device, the confirmation signal causes the computing device to dynamically modify the modifiable feature of the image to represent the adjusted first operation setting of the network device, and wherein modifying the modifiable feature indicates that the confirmation signal has been received and that the first operation setting of the network device has been adjusted; and

Abstract
Techniques are described for controlling attributes and/or settings related to operation of devices via a wireless network. An access device can determine a status of a configurable attribute/setting related to operation of a device (e.g., a home automation network device that can control a home appliance) connected to the network. The computing device can execute an application that can generate and display a graphical interface including an interactive area or an interactive element to control the device. The interactive element or the graphical interface can indicate a current value for the setting/attribute. The interactive area or element can be adjustable to adjust the setting/attribute. An adjusted value of the setting/attribute can be communicated to the network which can cause operation of the device to be controlled based on the adjusted value. The computing device can modify the graphical interface to indicate the adjusted value of the setting/attribute.
