Hello All, I know how to SET a parameter in a Z-Wave Send Raw Command. Example: Balcony plug report own power consumption as well as plugged in device. (e.g. Parameter 15, size 1, value 1) 0x70, 0x04, 0x0F, 0x01, 0x01 ```auto 0x70 = CONFIGURATION_CLASS 0x04 = set 0x0F = Parameter 15 0x01 = Size 1 0x01 = value 1 ``` Now, suppose I would like to GET the value of the same configuration parameter. Would I be sending something like this: 0x70, 0x0MAGIC, 0x0F where Magic is Homey Speech for GET? 1. Have I correctly formatted the Z-wave command above? 2. Would any of you know what to write instead of MAGIC? Sincerely, Pantera Ruber ---

~~Not sure where you got the `0x04` from, as that is the GET, SET is `0x03`.~~ Edit: woops, looked at the wrong configuration Command class. GET = `0x05` But it is indeed what you show, it isn’t Homey language though, it is Z-Wave language. Do be aware that the device has to be unsecure. SET: `0x70, 0x04, 0x0F, 0x01, 0x01` GET: `0x70, 0x05, 0x0F` ---

Caseda, Thank you very much for the reply. /Pantera ---

> [@Caseda](#): > > 0x05 Quick follow up: How do I get to the reply from the unit? It does not readily show up as something from the output in the Advanced flow send Z-wave command card. ---

Correct, for advanced flows a new card would need to be made with a responds, the current one is not specifically made for Advanced flows, the only way to read it now is you’ll need to enable the Z-Wave log in the [developer tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zwave), and read it from there. If you need the value in a flow you’ll have to contact Athom support to implement that, there are no working workarounds for this. ---

Update: I have indeed written to athom and asked for this feature. I have received a confirmation that they have noted my request. If anyone else is interested, now is the time to write as this might elevate the priority of this particular feature. ---

For which use case would this be useful? ---

I have a Z-wave dimmer which has the ability to be set into leading-edge-dim or trailing-edge dim. The ability to set this in the GUI in the widget-settings of said dimmer does not exist. Therefore I would like to be able to set the setting as well as verify that the setting indeed is set.
