Most Z-Wave manufacturers include a list of parameters that you can input or change to customize how the device responds to commands. The settings for your devices can be adjusted using the Z-Box web interface.

HOW TO ACCESS ADVANCED SETTINGS FROM THE WEB UI:

1. From the sidebar navigation menu of the Z-Box web interface, go to Settings by clicking on the gear icon.

2. You will be redirected to the Devices menu.

3. Select the device that you want to view or manage advanced settings for.

4. Click on the Parameters tab on the Device Setting page.

5. If your 500-series Z-Wave is fully integrated or if you are accessing a 700-series Z-Wave device the complete list of the supported parameters will be displayed.

6. If no parameters are displayed, it means that the device’s template is not available in your system. You can upload the template by clicking on Update Template. Note: battery operated devices must be woken up before uploading new parameters.

Important: You have to make sure you obtain the correct parameter file from the device's manufacturer.

HOW TO MODIFY AND UPLOAD A DEVICE PARAMETER TEMPLATE:

Since all Zooz and Fibaro devices are fully integrated with the Z-Box Hub, you will be able to access the complete list of parameters for these devices. The below steps illustrate how to upload the parameters file in case it is missing when using a device from a different brand.

1. From the sidebar navigation menu of the Z-Box web interface, go to Settings by clicking on the gear icon.

2. You will be redirected to the Devices menu.

3. Select the device that you want to view or manage advanced settings for.

4. Click on the Parameters tab on the Device Setting page.

5. Click on the Upload Template button to upload the JSON file that you obtained from the device manufacturer.

Or click on the DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE button to make edits to your current parameter file as per the manufacturer’s instruction.

6. Once done making the updates, save the changes and click on the UPLOAD TEMPLATE button. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to override the current file. Once you click OK you will receive a successful Override message or a failure message if the file format is incorrect or the update is not properly applied.
