I have a specific device (f.e. Fibaro Motion sensor Z-Wave Plus) and I need to automatise adding of such devices with a specific configuration to a controller so much as possible .  
There exists such possibility f.e. some scripting?

You’ll have to change the app code (or create your own app) and add (more) “defaultConfiguration” values for the drivers in the `app.json`, these values are transmitted to the device during pairing, it isn’t possible via homey Script for example as that can’t be a middle man during pairing.

See [here](https://apps.developer.athom.com/tutorial-Z-Wave.html) (under Creating a Z-Wave driver) for more information,  
some example drivers are the fibaro FGS-211/221/212/222/213/223 drivers, as these have such a defaultConfiguration value(s)
