<p>You may wish to modify the Z-Wave settings in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">ozw*.xml</code> file stored in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code> directory, or certain situations/devices may require it (i.e. Aeon Multisensor 6). To do this, utilize <a href="https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave-control-panel">Open-Zwave Control Panel</a>. Alternatively, use <a href="https://www.domoticz.com/">Domoticz</a>, which incorporates the Open-Zwave Control Panel project into an easy to use Raspberry Pi image.</p>
<p>You may wish to modify the Z-Wave settings in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">ozw*.xml</code> file stored in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code> configuration directory, or certain situations/devices may require it (i.e. Aeon Multisensor 6).

<p>The reasoning for using these tools is that your Z-Wave controller stores the values and data that are used to control the network. The XML file in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code> folder acts as a settings/values cache for the Z-Wave network, so modifying it directly won’t change the network values. The Open-Zwave Control Panel writes values directly to the network and will provide you with an updated <code class="highlighter-rouge">.xml</code> file to overwrite in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">.homeassistant</code> folder. This is the most foolproof way to make modifications to your Z-Wave devices.</p>

<p>Although totally normal for your Z-Wave stick (Aeon Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 for example) to cycle through its LEDs (Yellow, Blue and Red) while plugged into your system. If you don like this behaviour then you could turn it off.</p>
<p>Use the following commands from a terminal session to your Pi where your Z-Wave stick is connected as an example.</p>
