Tweak advanced ZWave settings

If you want to tweak some specific settings of your ZWave devices then read this article.

ZWave devices have additional settings that aren't available through LinuxMCE WebUI. What kind of tweaks you ask? I have dimmable ZWave wall light swithc; LinuxMCE can use this switch to turn it ON/OFF or to set light power from 10-90%, for most people this is more than enough. When I press top of the switch light turns ON when I press bottom of the switch light turns OFF. The issue was that all other switches work inverse of that; I usually press bottom to turn lights ON.

Luckily this switch supports "Invert Switch" function so I can invert it's function. From ZWave HomePro ZDW232 switch's manual I can see:

• The LED on the ZDW232 will by default, turn ON when the load attached is turned ON. To make the LED turn ON when the load attached is turned OFF instead, set parameter 3 to a value of 1.
  • Invert Switch
    • Parameter No: 4
    • Length: 1 Byte
    • Valid Values = 0 or 1 (default value is 0)
• To change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch to ON, set parameter 4 to 1.
