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

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 `.homeassistant` 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 `.xml` file to overwrite in your `.homeassistant` folder. This is the most foolproof way to make modifications to your Z-Wave devices.

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.
|
|
|
|
Use the following commands from a terminal session to your Pi where your Z-Wave stick is connected as an example.

```bash

$ echo -e -n "\x01\x08\x00\xF2\x51\x01\x00\x05\x01\x51" > /dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00
