Hello everyone,

When I added my roller shutter switch in Zigbee, I would have liked Gladys to offer me **at that moment** to configure its operating parameters. For example, I have an «&nbsp;up/down time&nbsp;» and the «&nbsp;motor direction&nbsp;» to configure.  
By chance, my device had retained its settings from my previous use of Home Assistant, but as a result it took me a little while to realize that I had to access Z2M directly to configure it.  
Same for my light dimmer switch, which requires configuration from Z2M.

It would be cool if Gladys could make things easier for us. Once you know you can do it from Z2M it’s fine, but it would make Gladys more accessible for newcomers (like me)

I like the idea; it genuinely takes the concept of home automation further — making it usable without having to ‹&nbsp;tinker&nbsp;› with technical interfaces.

Why not!

By the way, @Will_71 is adding a link to each device so you can easily access the device in Zigbee2mqtt:

> J’ai également ajouté l’adresse IEEE et le lien dans la page de Découverte Zigbee. La mise à jour n’est pas automatique, j’ai utilisé la méthode en place et il faut pour tous les devices déjà ajoutés appuyer sur le bouton Mettre à jour pour appliquer la sauvegarde de l’adresse IEEE dans la base et quel l’adresse soit mise dans la box de l’onglet appareils . Je ne peux pas faire de migration automatique au démarrage car la découverte de l’adresse se fait pendant la phase de découvert…
