Setting Parameters on Zooz ZSE18 Motion Sensor

[Old Surfer Dude]

I was having a heck of time with this.  Z-Wave in general wasn't working as expected.  I did three things: updated to 5.3.4, ensured that Java was up to date, and cleared the Java cache.

Now I needed a way to consistently set the parameters.  There are, hopefully, better ways but this worked for me:

In the UD admin console, Main tab, in the ISY section 
1. Right click the ZSE18 motion sensor entry.
2. Click on Z-Wave
3. Click on Set Configuration Parameter
4. Enter the Parameter Number (e.g. 18)
5. Enter the parameter size (see documentation that came with the device) 1, 2 or 4 bytes
    e.g. parameter 18 is 2 bytes
6. Enter the value
    e.g. values for parameter 18 are 3-65548, value+3 equals number of seconds, a value of 42 would be 45 seconds
7. Open the device by twisting the two halves counterclockwise, about 15°, and pull the halves apart.
8. Click on the set button of the dialog box, immediately followed by pressing and holding for 5 seconds the Z-Wave button* of the device. (Manual wake-up mode)
9. The blue light on the device will start to flash after 5 seconds.  Release Z-Wave button. (you may get error messages, which you can ignore.)
10. Click on close.

*The Z-Wave button is the button bellow the battery (the only button).

I agree, it's dumber than dirt, but if you have a better way that works consistently, put it here.

Unfortunately that's how you update parameters

Dear Old Surfer Dude,

I have been unable to add/include the Zooz ZSE18 motion sensor to my ISY994, running 5.3.4.  Do you know of any settings or tricks required to get this to work?

What are you trying to get to work

Firmware, UI, distance from isy, and process used to enroll?

You didn't answer the rest of the questions

@heardc When I included my device, I was about a meter or so away from my ISY.  It was also close when I set the parameters.  The magnetic mount made it easy to do this.
