Hubitat will recognize your ZSE41 Sensor out of the box!
If the settings are not showing up for you right away, you'll want to confirm your Hubitat hub is on the latest platform version. The ZSE41 is in a beta release so there may also be a firmware update available for the device in the near future. Once updated, add the ZSE41 again and you should be able to see the settings under Preferences in Hubitat (remember to save the device after each change).
All About Advanced Settings
The terminology for advanced settings varies depending on your Z-Wave hub. For instance, Hubitat lists them under the “Preferences” tab. 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.
If you find there are settings you are unable to access, or if you would like to use the community driver, check out the instructions below!
Install the Community Driver
If you'd like to adjust a setting that isn't exposed in the built-in driver, you can try using the custom driver for the ZSE41 to customize your XS Open|Close Sensor.
Here are the steps for using the custom driver:
-
Open Hubitat in your browser.
-
Click on Drivers Code in the side menu.
-
In the top right corner, click on "+New Driver" and paste the code from the following link to access the code for the driver, then copy ALL of the code from the page.
-
Click Save in the top right corner.
-
You'll see a Zooz ZSE41 OPEN CLOSE XS SENSOR in your Drivers Code list now.
-
Assign the driver to the device by opening to the device view and selecting the Zooz ZSE41 OPEN CLOSE XS SENSOR from the drop-down menu under Device Type.
-
Click Update Device.
- IMPORTANT: Click the CONFIGURE button in the interface for all of the settings to appear and wake the device up by clicking the Z-Wave button 4 times quickly so it can fully configure. You may need to refresh the Hubitat page in your Internet browser as well.
-
You will now see the additional setting display in the device view in Hubitat where you can customize the sensor.
-
Once done changing parameters, click Update Device again and manually wake the sensor to receive the changes.
If you prefer not to use the custom driver, you can try out this Z-Wave Universal Device Scanner to access any parameters that may not be available yet in the custom driver.
