hello.

i've discoverd a few issues with the expert ui and how the config parameters is displayed for some devices.
an example:
i have a fibaro motion sensor and some of the settings under configuration is displayed wrong.

for example option 14 & 16 is used to decide how the basic on and off commands should be sent.
if you look at the device at: http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/601
the on state is listed as -1 but according to the manual on should be 255.
result is that when you read the parameters from the device option 14 & 16 is empty, none of the 3 choices is set.
if you are not observant this results in saving the wrong settings back to the device.

technically -1 is 255 if you convert an signed byte value to unsigned byte but i bet the expert ui doesnt know this or handle it properly.
i also suspect this is a problem in other areas of the config too because above is just one example of where the settings is displayed wrong compared to what is actually saved in the device.

any advice what to do?
i suspect this is a bug

Technically it is said in the documentation that all config parameter values should be signed numbers. But nobody cares

ok, so it is the expert ui that is not handling the contents of the zddx xml file properly?
the pepper1 page uses signed numbers for all config options and this appears to not work properly with the expert ui.

is there a way to report bugs?
maybe i'll give it a try myself at fixing it.

it is a bit annoying bug.

You can report (and fix it on github: https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/ExpertUI

But this is a long issue and we want to change it a bit with PepperOne, but they are two busy to make changes in the DB design

The old ui appears to work a bit better when it comes to the configuration.
at least in some areas but others are also broken, like any setting that gets displayed as a slider ends up with no data.

anyway, having a non broken config system is a bit important in my opinion.
