Most Z-Wave devices have parameters for setting the device. However, in SmartThings often only the most important are displayed or none at all. If you know what parameter settings you want to configure, you can use Device Config MC to configure your parameter settings of specific Z-Wave Devices.  


This guide shows you how to install Device Config MC,
