 ===Clear KWH===
-This is for KWH Measurement units and is the same as just telling the unit to turn off. That will reset the KWH reading to 0. You should not have to call this directly but you can if you wish. There is also a contextual menu option to clear a KWH devices value back to 0. Note that not all Vera devices that support sending this value support clearing the value. If your value dies not go to 0 after sending this command then the device won’t let you reset it.

+===Set Data===
+The setData command is sent to a specific unit. It is for setting ZWave parameters or variables and is potentially dangerous. Because every brand and model of device is different you’ll have to know exactly what you need to send in order to set the data correctly. Sending incorrect data or data meant for a different device could brick the dimmer or cause any number of kinds of malfunctions. Most manufacturers print the parameter data in their user manuals. but not all of them.
+This could be used to set the local ramp rate of a dimmer switch, or an of the other configurable options in a device. For the new Home Seer HS-WD200+ dimmer this can be used to change the light color on an individual LED basis.
+<code>
+tell xUnit “name of unit” to setData( parameterNumber, byteCount, value)
+</code>
+If the device is a battery operated device then the change will be sent by the Vera when the device next wakes up, if it’s a routing device then the change will be sent immediately. Most parameters i’ve seen are single bytes. The value can be a single integer number from 0 to 255 or might be a longer string of data depending on the parameter. If you have the data in hex instead of an integer you can send a string starting with a letter “x” for example “xFF” for 255.
+See the supported module section or your user manual for what parameters are available.
