Curious if the vizia line has any variables or parameters that can be set via the “custom zwave options”. I have set them for my TZ43 tstat and HSM100 sensor and I know vizia switches have some built in options that can be set with the vizia remote (such as ramp rates). Are these customizable with the zwave variables and if so does anyone have a list?
I just tried adding a custom variable “1”, “monitor only” to one of my vizia switches and it would not finish the configure afterwards 
MCV, i think these ramp rates can be set by the vizia remote as well as locally at the switch, is it possible you can use the zsniffer to find out what the remote is doing so the dongle can emulate it?
This is, of course, if they can’t be set by the normal variables… it would be such a great option to set the ramp rates of all my switches remotely with vera.
Actually, while I’m talking about it, I think vera should have an internal list of variables for each device so they can be set easier by novice users. The Variable #/Data Type/Setting deal is way too complicated for a beginner. For example, vera should know that Variable #2 is the “Timeout Period (Minutes)” for the HSM100 and should offer a setting of 1-255 in the correct data format for the user. This should also be easily accessible, which is NOT:
having to open the device menu then select zwave then select the HSM100 sensor and then press one of the FOUR plus buttons in the device then scroll all of the way to the bottom of the page (past 30 other devices) to click another button then add a variable then enter a variable number then select a data type then input a number into the setting box that is inside the bounds of the device then run over to wake up your device then run back to press save… and if that didnt work press “configure node right now!”… all while keeping your device manual open to match variable numbers to definitions… see how tedious this can get… did i forget anything?
sorry for the rant… got a little off track… 
i hope to see this made more simple in the future, lol
I’m just going through this process now with a motion sensor. I’ve learned that the motion sensor waits 2 minutes before sending a status after it goes idle. Therefore, lights will be on a minimum time of two minutes after I leave the room…
And I found out that if I make variable #18 ‘1’, it isn’t setting the idle delay to one minute, it is in fact adding a minute onto the already existing two minute delay…
Ahh that sucks… the HSM100 timeout is definitive and not an add on. Looks like 2min might be your minimum.
Yeah, two minutes is the minimum on these things after reading more forums etc. Anyone want to trade a two ZIR000’s for an HSM 100?
could you provide a list of variables you have set for your tz43?
I would suggest to create a Wiki page to document the Z-Wave parameters (or to add the Z-Wave parameters to http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Supported_Hardware/).

BTW, most of the information between the TZ43 and Shlage (Trane) Thermostat should be identical, I believe they are almost (if not not exactly) the same hardware. So, there are a couple other threads started about secrets of that thermostat, unfortunately that thread fails to reference variable numbers… it only provides a list of controllables. That can be found here:
So the manual gives these options for the Vizia RF+ Dimmer Line… there HAS to be a way to set these through zwave commands… (I hope!)
Definition of A Modes
A-1) Energy Save: Sets the maximum brightness level for energy savings.
A-2) Minimum Brightness Level: Sets the minimum dimming level.
A-3) Preset ON Level: Sets the turn on brightness level regardless of the previous set light level (formerly Dim Lock).
Definition of B Modes
B-1) ON Fade Rate: Sets the amount of time in seconds it takes the lights to turn ON to maximum brightness.
B-2) OFF Fade Rate: Sets the amount of time in seconds it takes the lights to turn OFF from maximum brightness.
B-3) LED Options: Sets the time period in seconds the Locator LED and Brightness display will stay on before extinguishing.

The Trane Tstat is an OEM version of the TZ43 Thermostat - they are close but not identical
The Motion Timeout is the time from the when the last motion was detected until it sends a Z-Wave OFF command. Motion Timeout is programmable from 1 minute to 255 minutes and the default is 20 minutes. Z-Wave Configuration Class commands are used to program the Motion Timeout setting. See the homecontrol application documentation for the procedure for adjusting the Motion Timeout.
Setting Motion Timeout to zero will cause HSM100 to not send a Z-Wave OFF command but instead it will send an ON command each time motion is detected. Note this mode will significantly shorten the battery life in rooms with a lot of motion.
I think this thread has been officially hijacked, haha… so nobody knows anything about Vizia RF variables and settings? 
lol
I’ll have to start bouncing some messages off one. I need to see if we have one laying around that I can play with.
That would be awesome, let us know if you find anything. Would love to see these settings built into vera for each switch. It is a PITA to set all 30 of my switches at the local level for 6 settings each. :o
So far I have been unsuccessful in finding anything that would allow access to those remotely. I will try a few more things but it’s not looking good.
I was looking at the new features for ControlThink v2.4 Beta2… and it mentions being able to program fade rates for the Vizia line… so it must be possible to change the fade rate remotely for these dimmers…
*Scenes now support programmable fade rates (for fully scene-capable devices, such as Leviton Dimmers)
The fade rates from the advanced programming features is the only item that can be controlled. 8)
B-1) ON Fade Rate: Sets the amount of time in seconds it takes the lights to turn ON to maximum brightness.
B-2) OFF Fade Rate: Sets the amount of time in seconds it takes the lights to turn OFF from maximum brightness.

I know they can be controlled locally… but this feature in controlthink proves they can also be controlled remotely. I would like to see this ability in vera.
Agreed that should be to put on the list - what I was saying is that this is the only feature of the Advanced Programming Features that is available programmatically.
so anyone ever figure out if its possible to set some of those Leviton Vizia features in Vera instead of locally programming the switch?
