I was just looking around and realized… yeah, this is probably setting ozw.set_config_parameter, which I don’t have.
I haven’t played with MQTT. I’m hoping I can avoid having to learn another protocol. I’m not a programmer, so just stringing together some working JSON is a stretch for me.
Purple = snow? I just look out the window! 
Haha, yes rain is cyan and snow is purple based on forecast, not current conditions!
ozw.set_config_parameter is actually a THIRD integration for the OpenZwave (beta) integration. That was what I came from and it worked just fine, but is NOT the same as Zwave JS.
Confused yet? Hope I’m adding some clarity.
Hey @pdong I opened a pull request some time ago for allowing 0 as a color (true red), is that something you would entertain incorporaing?
Also, if possible (I know this is asking a bunch) could you make a dropdown for z-wave integration and incorporate the new zwave_js.set_config_parameter event passing? They have abandoned the node_id strategy and replaced it with entity_id or device_id:
Not sure if you are watching here anymore, but figured i would ask.

@nappyjim @harmfulmushroom have either of you figured out or developed a subflow node for the new zwave_js.set_config_paremeter? I’m no coding expert but my switch bars are very lonely right now.
Hey there, I do actually have one working with ZWaveJS! I’ve been trying to make a swiss army knife type subflow for the switches, so in addition to being able to set notifications, it could also set the on/off brightness and the permanent color if desired. Still working out a couple last things, and then I can post it here.
It could probably use some optimization though, and it only works with dimmers right now… Might work with the LZW36’s, I added support, but I don’t have a switch to test it with… It also can’t set values above 83823359 for some reason, not sure why since zwavejs2mqtt now accepts those values just fine… I hardcoded a set value if the calculation ends up being above that number for now to avoid errors.
Hope to have it finished up very soon, I’ll let you know once I post it!
@kreene1987 seems like mushroom is making a more in depth one. Heres a rather simple one. I havent messed with too much with JS yet aside from a test rig.
Note you cant set parameter 16 past 83823359 with this setup, you would have to set through MQTTJS to do this. @petro can better explain why this is the case if you care.
But here it is. Will split whatever parameter and value you put into the change node, and send it to every switch that you have connected to the split node.
Nice thing about JS is it uses entity_id instead of node_id. So even if you remove and then re-add a switch, you dont have to remember to go into the service node and change the node_id; as long as you make sure to just rename it the same when you re-add it, that is.

I added a “clear” node to set the parameter to zero and clear the notification.
I’m now using this in Node-RED to set the status LED parameters and it’s working well. The only thing I don’t like is that when I tap the physical switch, the notification goes away. I suppose that’s by design, but I wonder if there’s a way to allow the notification to persist without doing a bunch of Node-RED gymnastics to reset the parameters.
@DeltaNu1142 I had the same issue then switched over to just changing the led default color for certain scenes and then switching it back when that was over. You don’t get the cool animated effects, but for something like ‘movie time’, it turns the default colors from blue to white. Then I just use the notifications for temporary alerts that are meant to be seen but once 'acknowledged goes away.
Later firmware 1.42+ fixed this. If you are able/willing, z2m has the UI to enable this, ZJS is coming out soon with this feature as well.
Make sure you follow the support documentation and update both targets!
I’m on v1.21 on my switches and v1.48 on my dimmers, yet I’m not seeing an option for it. Z2M is 0.13.0 as of this morning. Maybe I’m missing it in the config…
It’s not a setting, it’s firmware related. If you properly send a notification to the switch with indefinite length, then hit the switch it will temporarily go to it’s color set and do what you ask, then afterwards bring the notification back.
If it’s not doing that then it might not have taken the firmware update OR you might not be sending as notification, but rather an LED color and intensity change?
I meant to come back to this… it is in fact working correctly! The last time I attempted it, it didn’t work and it must have been due to an earlier version of ZwaveJS to MQTT. I haven’t updated firmware in any of my switches in quite a long time.
Thanks.
