Ah yes, docs. My specialty actually... play with everything then write about what it does. I think I can help. I won't have much time this week, but I'll be thinking about it. |

No worries at all, not expecting this to be an overnight thing, if you do get involved let me know, and I'll add write permissions for you. Let me know if you have any problems with 3.4.0. It should run well. |

I can do it with write permissions or just fork and make edits on my own branch. I'll be testing the new version this weekend when I get home |

Hey, Nothing Major. Bit if you do device to help with re-doing documentation (again no rush what so ever), Fork/push to the dev branch. |

So yeah it'll be really a while before I get back to this... yesterday a lightning strike took out my whole network and about half my zwave. So - as you could guess - I'll be spending most of my free time for the next months dealing with that. |

Hey man, no sweat! But the job is yours, if you should ever want to get involved - no rush. Oh Dam! A friend in the states, where he lived next door to his parents - he routed coper cables between the 2 house (networking). |

Damage seems to be mostly focused on Zwave and my extensive wired network. Dead includes: Unifi dream machine, cams, switches, access points, one tv, all 3 Apple TV's, home theater receiver... insurance inspection is tomorrow. I hope they are generous. |

So, If you're looking for some internal camera replacements, these are Apple Homekit Secure video enabled + Pan/Tilt wifi cameras at £48 GPB. - Just ordered 2 of them. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Security-Assistant-Compatibility-Tracking-Required/dp/B086KZ8X6S Watching/reading reviews seems that these are really really really good for the price point - given the extensive features. They are capable of 2K Rez (1K for Secure Homekit - limitation on apples part). Will be testing them tonight EDIT: |

I'll probably just replace them for exactly what I had before - unifi cams. I like having the onsite storage and it's easy enough to get them in homekit using nodered! I think the only change I want to make compared to what got destroyed is a different home theater receiver. Any favorites for 7.1 in the theater and stereo in a second zone? Bonus points if zone 2 works with airplay 2! |

Update from Texas: big stack of Zwave 700 toys just showed up! It'll be party time tomorrow. |

The 700 setup is alive and well. Only had to make 2 very small changes for my code to work with the new switches, which apparently are sending No real noticeable changes so far. I'm at 50 devices including the controller so I don't know that I ever hit traffic levels where more speed is needed. Sure does have me itching for more 700 devices though 🤦♂️ |

The BinarySwitch & MultiLevelSwitch zwave classes do support the let MyDuration = {
Duration: {
value: 5,
unit: "seconds" | "minutes",
}
}
let Message = {
payload: {
node: 17,
class: "MultiLevelSwitch",
operation: "Set",
endpoint: 1, // only needed for some multi switch devices (defaults to 0)
params: [75, MyDuration]
}
}
return Message |

Yes it's great to be back running. I did update to 3.7.1 before the changeover, everything went smoothly. I just have to learn to use the new devices a bit. Side note- this is the first time I've done 100% of the setup inside of nodered, my last stick was actually programmed originally using openzwave then ran in zwavejs2mqtt and finally nodered. I enjoyed doing it all fresh from the nodered interface. And finally for duration, yes I send duration like that. For some reason though when controlled at the switch, my new dimmers are sending a duration message back to nodered. Not a problem, I just put a condition to ignore that message in my flows. |

nice to hear - though I cant take credit for that one, I am however, looking to tidy up the UI at some point, to.

@crxporter,
😁
The readme for this module, is fairly big: multiple usage modes, guidance on mode usage, Managed Command Class specifications/param requirements, Managed params object structures , a sizeable change log, User Interface guide, the possible events table etc etc.
How do you feel getting involved with re-doing that (maybe branch of to Wikis - with the read me being more of an introduction)
If you prefer to get more involved on the code side - please do.
if you want to take on re-doing the documentation, I am more than happy to giving you write access to the dev branch, and adding you as a contributor. 👍
If so - I suggest absorbing the read me(s) as they currently are to understand what needs to be documented.
Have a think.
Let me know if 3.4.0 works well for you - local tests were fine.
