Configuration is simple with the Z-Box! The ZEN12 Motion Dimmer will be recognized and configured correctly out of the box.
Simply follow the steps below to access and customize the advanced settings.
All About Advanced Settings
The terminology for advanced settings varies depending on your Z-Wave hub. For instance, Z-Box uses the official term “Parameters.” Despite these differences in naming, the purpose remains the same: configuring consistent behavior for your device. We provide the full list of settings available for each device in our Knowledge Base.
Each advanced setting consists of four key parts:
-
Label: If your device is properly integrated with your hub, this will display as the setting's name. Hubs like SmartThings show only the label and description.
-
Parameter Number & Description: Most hubs, such as Hubitat and Home Assistant, list the parameter number along with the label and description.
-
Values: These are the selectable options for each setting. Some are simple (e.g., Enable/Disable), while others use numerical values.
-
Size: This is required in some systems when manually changing advanced settings (e.g., Home Assistant) or in hubs that do not provide direct access to settings.
How to Access the Advanced Settings
To access and configure any advanced settings, you need to be logged in locally to your Z-Box hub and connected to the same Wi-Fi network on your device / computer as the Z-Box Hub. The ability to adjust advanced settings for Z-Wave devices is available only in the WEB UI at this time.
