How to set device settings in Homey script

[Hans_Wiersma]

Does anyone have an example of how to change a device setting using Homey script?
I am able to read out all settings of a device (sensor, etc.). But I can’t figure out how to change a setting using Homey script.
I have tried using the setDeviceSettings() method, but then I get the error: device.setDeviceSettings is not a function.
Any help appreciated.

Maybe this gets you started?

Setting a device capability value from app.js

Hi, I am a new Homey user and making my first app. I created a device with a certain capability of which I can set the value from device.js. However, I calculated a value in app.js (copy & paste code of other existing app) which I want to write to the device capability. Probably it is an easy thing to do but I am missing something. Can someone help me?

What do you mean specifically by “setting”? If you want to set a device’s capability, look at the Homeyscript example code here.

Thanks for the reply. This post is about changing capability settings. I want to change the advanced settings of a device.

HomeyScript does not have the permission to change device settings. Only device control(capabilities).
