How can I dump all parameters for a given device to a file?

[jonnyborbs]

I have dozens of the same Inovelli switch in my home, but they have so many parameters that I have trouble keeping track of what I’ve set and where. When I add a new one, I want to make sure I am configuring it identically to those before it. How can I get all parameters for a device (just the number and value is plenty) so I can re-apply that to a different one?

For Z-Wave, you can use Mike Maxwell's "Basic Z-Wave Tool" it can list all parameters to the live logs. Copy from there to you program of choice.

Curious to see what others have to say, but for my Blues, I just finally broke down & created a spreadsheet for them. Kinda a pain to put together, but worth it - now it's easy to compare settings across them and whenever I need to do resets or updates, it makes it a lot easier to get things consistently re-entered.

Thanks to you both. Some of these are ZWave (red) and some are Zigbee (blue) - and the Blue ones are the ones that are most configurable and I’m mainly curious about.

I’d also keep a spreadsheet if I could figure out how to get all the current values to begin with! lol

You could add a custom command to the driver to dump the settings map into the logs. Thats assuming the driver is using the settings and not commands to change things.

command "debugShowVars"

void debugShowVars() {
	log.warn "settings ${settings}"
}

Going in the other direction, you can use Preference Manager (built in app) to set a given parameter to the same value on every device of a certain type.

I've used it to make sure that all of my inovelli dimmers have the same dimming speed, ramp rate, etc.

It doesnt help you find which ones are set how. But if the end goal is consistent configuration, it can help you there.

Oh wow, I had never heard of this before. That's awesome, thanks!

The Inovelli community clued me in that I could just enable Debug logging on the device, then select "all" under the device's refresh parameters button. It then writes them all to the log. It's not pretty, but it works for my purposes.
