 +===Set Data===
 +via the [[dictionary:unitcontrol:setdata|Set Data]] verb it is possible to set various parameters in the switch. Note that the parameters of the WD100 are different than the [[supported_modules:hs-wd200|WD200]]. This is a grid of the most useful parameters that can be set for the WD100+ note that this might change in future firmware versions or hardware revisions so you should verify against the latest version of the user manual that comes with your specific unit before issuing the command. It is entirely possible to brick a dimmer if you issue the wrong commands to the wrong addresses. It’s nice to note however that the WD100 an WD200 share the same parameter number for orientation, and then the WD200 parameters start at 11 so if you confuse the 2 device types when setting data they happily ignore the out of range parameters and do not do anything damaging. if you confuse them with switches from other manufacturers then things could be unpredictable.

-These dimmers require a neutral connection so work well for LED or CF lighting. However they do seem to cause some of my LED lighting to flicker somewhat at high dim levels. I’m not sure why this is but they are by no means the only Z-Wave dimmer that has this problem. It doesn’t bother some peopleit drives me crazyThe lights can randomly flicker every so often. The solution is to dim them until the flickering stops. The light will remember that new value as the On level so will return to this level when you manually click on the switch. Go into XTension and manually dim them to the same level via the UIthis will set the preset levelMake sure the dimmable type of the unit is set to “Simulated” and now issuing turnon commands in XTension will result in the switch always going to that level as well. Alternatively you could set the max level of the light to that level under the [[xtension_manual:editunitadvancedtab|Advanced Tab]] of the Edit Unit dialog. Since most LED lights don’t start to visibly dim until you get towards the bottom of the dim levels anyway doing this has not caused my lights to be visibly dimmer than they would be at full on, they just stop flickering.+These dimmers let you set the local ramp rate and the remote control ramp rate separatelybut as is standard in ZWave you cannot include a ramp rate in individual commandsEach one is made of 2 different parameters. The step resolution which appears to be the number of steps it goes through to get to the preset level, and the speed at which it switches between the stepsFor some LED lights it may make sense to set a faster ramp rate since they tend to not come on immediately. Some experimentation with the 2 values may be needed to find the ramp rate that you like best for a specific application.

 +===Known Issues===
  
 As of XTension 9.4.6 the central scene events may be sent more than once. This is a known issue and as soon as I can figure out how to filter repeats of them I will do so. Until then your scripts may run more than once. This isn’t generally a problem as turning on or off a device that is already at the same level doesn’t cause any trouble except extra commands to the systems. If you wish you may be able to check the time delta of the unit and ignore a central scene event if it is less than say 2 seconds since it changed state. Or save off the current date in the central scene handler to a local script variable and compare that script variable with the current date when it’s called. If it’s less than 2 or 3 seconds since it last handled a central scene command then ignore it. As of XTension 9.4.6 the central scene events may be sent more than once.
