Z-Wave Enhancement: Set parameters on switches in a Scene.

[CJVann]

I believe A.I. lied to me, saying EISY can easily set configuration parameters on a group of Z-Wave switches by putting them into a scene.  I see that option for an individual device, but not for a scene.  Anyone know of a work-around or potential feature enhancement coming?

I purchased a number of Inovelli Red Series 2-1 switches❤️ that have 60+ parameters per switch (20 switches x 60 parameters = 1,200 lines of code for initial config).  Some parameters I'll want to set frequentlyfor all switches, such as notifications (set the light bar to any color with any of 19 animations like flash or chase). That's a lot of programs for each switch for multiple notification types (Garage door left open, security is armed, weather alerts...)  Any clever alternatives before I spend the next 7 years programming these things?  lol

I doubt its coming or ever would come with the way zwave devices currently work. While it sounds good on paper (and would be nice), parameters are not a 1 size fits all. What happens for 1 device may not work for another. Even devices from the same mfg. can have different parameters based on generation (see fibaro).

Ah, that makes sense, thank you.  Too bad you can't pass a switch to a program as a variable so we could send each switch to a single program and set the parameters.
