I wish to set Parameter 14 on the Fibaro RGBW controller to 9999 Hex, = 39321 Dec, (14,2,39321) but Homey gives an error saying it must be - 32768 to 32767.  
It will not accept 39321 or -26215, which it converts to 3.

Fibaro is using _unsigned_ parameter values, instead of the normal z-wave standard which is using _signed_ values (what the raw parameter input expects), so you’ll need to send the hex value, not the decimal value: `14,2,0x9999`

Thanks. I don’t know whether it has accepted the value, as Honey still gave the range warning.
