Is it possible to change the parameters for a ZWave device programmatically? For example, I want to set a night mode and have the bath and hall lights default to 50% when turned on. Setting the last dim parameters for the switches (Leviton ZWave swxs) will turn on at the set value but still allow them to be brightened manually if needed.

 

I like the ZWave parameter section. Although, it may be a bit crude when compared to the smart things hub, it does appear to be more reliable, I say crude in the sense that the parameters aren't or can't be mapped to a 'friendly' name.

Yes it is, using the network module and the REST interface. Obviously it has to be a parameter that is supported by the ZWave device. If you do a search for zwave parameter rest, you should find everything you need on the forums.

You’ll need the network module to do that. Also, make sure you use the real IP of the ISY (rather than 127.0.0.1). There is a issue in ISY that will cause a hard lock if you use the network module to connect to 127.0.0.1.

Cool. Good to know.

 

Off to research the network module...

 

Thanks.

Are there any plans to allow an ISY program to set a z-wave configuration parameter rather than having an ISY program call a network resource to fire a REST request back to the ISY to set the configuration parameter?

I don't know which version it was added, but I know in 5.0.14 you can set Z-Wave Parameters in a program. Select "Your Device" and then select a Z-Wave Device and then the selection on the right where you select "On, Off, etc" has "Set Configuration". Then you can select the parameter number, size and value.

Thanks @jca001!  I did not see that command in the dropdown at first.
