I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread for this. This plugin is great and fills a much-needed gap in the native HS functionality IMO.

Yes.. Good idea..
I've finally worked out how to get this plugin working... where to put the XML files, and what to expect when they load properly so....
Are there any posted already anywhere, other than those in plugin download - or have I got to start at square one with my devices?..
I'll certainly post mine when I get them working.
My list of devices include (all ZWave+):-
Nodon double wall switch
Aeotec Nano dimmer and Nano Mote Quad
Devolo MT2655
Domitech Light buibs
Various Everspring devices
Fibaro FGS-2X3
Qubino Nano Dimmer
Qubino Flush_2_Relay

No licensing restrictions - free to share and use.

Great plugin, which should really just be part of Homeseer's Z-Wave PI. I found it while looking for a way to document my setup in detail.
I have edited and attached the XML for the Fibaro Wall Plug that originally came with the PI, because the default values for parameters 14 and 23 did not match the manual.

I have edited the XML for Fibaro Dimmer 2 that came with the plugin too, because the default values for parameters 3 and 19 did not match the manual.

And I have created this XML for Neo Coolcam Water Sensor NAS-WS02Z. All texts come from the (Chinglish) manual, so don't blame the Dutch guy for the weird sentences..
To get or (re)set values you should first wake this battery operated device by pushing the button inside (shortly, only once), which should make the LED blink. Then give the get/set command immediately.
Edit: And created an XML for Neo Coolcam Door/Window Sensor NAS-DS01Z.Plugins I developed for HS4: Somfy Local, MiLight (LimitlessLED), Updates, Volvo (VoC), OpenTherm Gateway (OTGW)

Made another one, or actually 2 XML files (only difference is the firmware version - according to the manual the parameters are the same). It's for Fibaro RGB Controller version 25.25 and 26.25. Only tested 25.25.

So:
1. Install the MyZWaveParameters PI (currently HS3 only as I understand).
2. Then you add XML files for Z-Wave devices you have in use. You can find those in this forum, or build them yourself like I'm currently doing for the devices I could not find. Eventually the most popular devices will be available. Put the XML files in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\Config\MyZWaveParameters\ or its Linux equivalent. After adding XML files go to the PI's Config and Reload Config Files (bottom of page).
3. Open a Z-Wave root device. There should be an extra tab "MyZWaveParameters", but only if there is an XML file for that kind of device. It contains a list of all the known parameters.
4. Use Get All Current Values to read the current values and/or choose and set a new value.
Hope this helps you get started.Plugins I developed for HS4: Somfy Local, MiLight (LimitlessLED), Updates, Volvo (VoC), OpenTherm Gateway (OTGW)

I found this plugin to be very useful. I have lots of energy meters all of which I have used parameters to customize reporting intervals and other settings. Toby's PI makes this feel like an order of magnitude easier to apply to multiple devices. I hope to see a hs4 version one day. Unlike most plugins it was not backward compatible last time I checked.
