Indigo Domotics

Can anyone tell me if I am doing tis correctly.

I need to decrease the calibration temp of my Z100 by 1.0 fahrenheit

Go to Interfaces,
zwave,
modify config parameter

Choose device
PSet arameter Index 201 (this is for temperature)
Set Param size 2 byte
Param value enter: 0xF602 (256-10 = 246. Converted to hex = 00F6, 02 is for fahrenheit)

Hit Save New value

Based on the ZW100 docs I think F602 is correct for a -1.0°F delta, but Indigo wants a decimal number for the parameter value so use -2558 (online calculator here).

As a side rant not targeted to you, I hate it when modules use a single parameter for multiple purposes like this (offset and °F/°C selection). It prevents us from providing UI for the parameter since it requires custom coding (we cannot use a normal device definition) and it makes it more difficult for users to hand calculate the values like this case.

maybe is should start a new series but, how can is see what the current value of the 201 parameter?

The Modify Config Parameter dialog (via Interfaces->Z-Wave-> menu) has a button that will read out the current value.

ok bear with me. where ? the parameter doesn’t update. i am probably doing something wrong Thanks

If the device is battery operated, you'll have to wake it up to read the current parameter value. You can queue raw Z-Wave commands for when the device wakes on its own, but to read/save parameters, the device needs to be awake.

That was here I was

Apparently the issue is getting the unit to wake. It froze with a red "change pending". I delete the dive reinstalled and was able to get a response

very frustrating device

thanks

Glad you were able to get what you needed. I have also been frustrated by some devices for the same reason.

Its probably not to say "good to hear". but it is nice to here I am not alone. I now I am on fringe with older computers and np knowledge pf python but its is a relief to know that I have not yet been left behind
