Would you happen to know how I could use this to set the various Ecolink Motion Sensor restore timeouts, for each jumper? I haven't a clue about this kind of thing.
I saw a post on Vera forum, as Vera has the ability to dynamically add configuration variables to each device.
They claimed it was command param 1, hex length 1 and value 1. But with your tweaker that's not working.
if you have the manual with the parameter settings shown, i can tell you...

Network Inclusion
The sensor must be added to a Z-Wave network prior to use. To include the sensor in a network, both the sensor and the network controller must be in inclusion mode at the same time. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your specific controller for details on initiating the controller’s inclusion mode.
STEP ONE Start by placing the controller into inclusion mode.
STEP TWO Activate inclusion mode for the sensor by removing the battery isolation pull tab, or by inserting the battery (see next section for battery installation tips). When the inclusion process is complete the red LED will turn on for approximately 10 seconds and then it will go out. If the LED continues to flash repeat the inclusion process.
STEP THREE Test the motion sensor before mounting it. Place the sensor in an unoccupied room. Leave the room for at least 4 minutes. Return to the room and pass in front of the sensor lens. The LED will flash once to indicate that motion was detected.
Notes:
⦁ Sensor inclusion mode can also be initiated by inserting a pin or paper clip into the small round hole on the back side of the sensor.
⦁ The sensor also features a test mode so that motion detection can be tested without waiting 4 minutes. For more information refer to the “Test Mode” section of these instructions.
Network Inclusion: Key Points to Remember
⦁ Controller inclusion mode must be activated BEFORE starting sensor inclusion mode.
⦁ The sensor can only be included into one controller network at a time, and must be excluded from one network before inclusion in another.
⦁ Removing the pull tab connects the battery and initiates sensor inclusion mode. Inclusion mode can also be initiated by removing the battery for at least 5 seconds, reinstalling the battery, then replacing the sensor cover.
⦁ The plastic pull tab must be removed to enable sensor operation.
⦁ The sensor automatically enters inclusion mode at power-up.
⦁ Exclusion mode on the senor is initiated following the same exact procedure as inclusion.
Battery Installation Tips
Installation
The package contains the following:
1x Sensor
1x Sensor mounting bracket
4x screws
2x jumper
1x battery
3x pieces of adhesive tape
STEP ONE Mount bracket to wall
First attach the sensor mounting bracket to the wall using either adhesive tape OR screws (optional). For best performance mount the bracket 6.5 to 7.5 feet above the floor (2 to 2.3 meters).
Corner Mount Flush Mount
Note: For best results, attach adhesive tape to bracket FIRST, then position on wall. Adhesive tape is VERY STRONG so moving the bracket after attaching will be difficult.
STEP TWO Attach Motion Detector to Bracket
ADDITIONAL NOTES AND SUMMARY:
⦁ BEFORE attaching the bracket to a surface note how the bracket will need to be oriented
in order for the tab to engage the sensor. The required orientation of the sensor determines
the bracket orientation. The large clip that holds the case together is located on the TOP.
Please be advised that adhesive tape may damage the surfaces to which it is attached and
then removed from.
⦁ The sensor slides onto the bracket until the tab engages and CLICKS.
⦁ The distribution pattern of the motion detector is approximately +/- 50 degrees left and right
of center and at maximum sensitivity will reach a maximum of approximately 45 feet. See
example distribution pattern below.
What is Z-Wave?
The Z-Wave protocol is an interoperable, wireless, RF-based communications technology designed specifically for control, monitoring and status reading applications in residential and light commercial environments. Mature, proven and broadly deployed (with over 35 million products sold worldwide), Z-Wave is by far the world market leader in wireless control, bringing affordable, reliable and easy-to-use 'smart' products to many millions of people in every aspect of daily life. Certified Z-Wave devices regardless of manufacturer can work together to form a Z-Wave mesh network. Always on Z-Wave devices can act as repeaters in the mesh increasing range and redundancy.

Z-Wave Device Class and Command Class Information
This Z-Wave sensor is a Z-Wave generic Device Class of GENERIC_TYPE_SENSOR_NOTIFICATION, and a specific device class of SPECIFIC_TYPE_NOTIFICATION_SENSOR, and the supported command classes are COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO, COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION, COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC, COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL, COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY, COMMAND_CLASS_NOTIFICATION_V4, COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION, COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO, COMMAND_CLASS_WAKE_UP, COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_BINARY, COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION, COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC.
Manufacturer Specific
Manufacturer ID: 0x014A
Product Type: 4
Product ID: 1
Factory Default
To restore this sensor to factory default settings, follow the instructions in this manual to exclude this sensor from the Z-Wave network. Upon completion of removal from the network the sensor will restore itself to factory default settings automatically. Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Keeping Awake for Testing and Configuration
To save power, this sensor sleeps most of the time and is therefore not awake to receive messages from a gateway for testing. Removing the top case from the sensor will put in device into a tampered mode in which the sensor will stay awake and able to receive messages. Most of the time an end user would not do this, but if the sensor needs to be configured after inclusion, an end user can follow the instructions below for sending Wake-Up notifications.
Association
This sensor has two Association groups of 5 nodes each. Group one is a lifeline group who will receive unsolicited messages relating to motion detection notifications, case tampering notifications, low-battery notifications, and sensor binary reports. Group 2 is intended for devices that are to be controlled i.e. turned on or off (on only by default) with a Basic Set. On inclusion the controller should put its node ID in group 1 but not group 2.
Network Wide Inclusion
This sensor also supports Network Wide Inclusion such that the Sensor can be included into the Z-Wave network over the mesh network and not directly near the main controller. This mode is automatically activated after regular inclusion was not successful.

Wake-Up Notification
The sensor will wake up every so often and when the case is closed to send a Wake-Up Notification to allow the life line master node controller that the sensor is now available for any queued messages that the controller may have for the sensor. The time between Wake-Up Notifications can be configured with the Wake-Up Notification command class to be between 1 hour and 1 week with interval steps of 200 seconds.
Configuration
The sensor has two configuration parameters. Parameter 1 configures the sensor to send or not send Basic Set commands of 0x00 to nodes in Association group 2 turning the devices off when the sensor is in a restored state (i.e. motion not detected). By default the sensor does NOT send Basic Set commands of 0x00. Parameter 2 configures the sensor to either to send or not to send Sensor Binary Report commands to Association Group 1 when the sensor is faulted and restored. If the controller is fully compatible with the Notification Command Class thereby making the Sensor Binary Reports redundant, the controller can disable the Sensor Binary Report Commands completely. The following table shows the values to enable and disable the two configuration parameters.

I've got a few GE/Jasco portable smart motion sensors that I'm using with generic z-wave motion sensor driver. I tried using this too to change their reset time (Parameter 18, 1 byte, value (1-60).
I changed to the tool as driver, sent the parameter, them pressed the program button on the sensor. But it doesn't appear to have changed the reset time.
I've successfully used the tool to change other sensors in my network, not sure why these aren't taking the command? Any advice?
The original ST tweaker would with only work with mains powered devices. Not battery operated ones.
Because I rely on text to speech, I can't read the code for @mike.maxwell 's entry, but I would guess it runs into the same thing: with battery powered devices, you have to wake them up before they will accept parameter changes. So a "one-size-fits-all" tweaker type driver won't work. You will have to expose the parameters through a custom driver made specifically for that device, and probably physically manipulate the sensor in some specific way before it will accept the parameter changes. So you'll also need to check the user guide.
I have the jumper in Test and the timeout is around 5 seconds. Jumper in pet 1 and 2 is around 3 mins I think. This is only for the Ecolink sensor. Other similar brands won't work due to differences in firmware.
I have a few of sensors and haven't moved over to HE yet due to laziness.
this sensor doesn't appear to have any programmable motion timeout settings, so I guess you're stuck twiddling with the jumpers.
Ya, I have all of mine set to the Test field too. Which works great, except we got a dog and he's setting the things off constantly. I wish it were configurable, because otherwise these little sensors are the best I've tried.
@JDRoberts and @mike.maxwell
Thanks for your help! Looks like I am indeed stuck with what I have.

this is correct, for battery zwave devices they must be "woken up" in order to receive any configuration programming.
Usually the method to do this is available physically via some sequence of pushing various buttons on the device, If this isn't noted in the manual, you can try getting the device to do whatever it's supposed to do, and very shortly after that send the parameter settings using the tool.
In other words, for a contact, open/close it then send the command ect...
If this doesn't work, then as @JDRoberts mentions this tool won't work with that device.

You would need to hit the program button on the sensor first, then send the command
Ugh, user error, thanks
Is this working for people? I tried to load it today and got the error
"No signature of method: Script1.metadata() is applicable for argument types: (Script1$_run_closure1) values: [Script1$_run_closure1@5af9368d] Possible solutions: metaClass(groovy.lang.Closure) on line 19"
are you talking about the tool?, and if so did you per chance try to create a new app using driver code?
Yes the z-wave tool at the top on github.
Received the error when trying to save the pasted code in the apps code section.
its a driver..., not an app.
from the read me in the code:
usage:
-replace existing driver with this driver
-set your paremeters
-replace this driver with previous driver
yep, sorry about that.

@mike.maxwell Great Tool!
Any chance on enhancing the tool so we can define Associations for z-wave plus devices?
Thanks, Glenn
Probably not, we don't think a driver is the correct place to manage these.
