Fortunately, a community member has created the “Z wave tweaker.” This is a device type handler which will expose all the parameters of any zwave device.
You just install the tweaker on your account, temporarily assign the Mimolite to it, set the parameters however you want, and then assign the Mimolite back to its every day DTH.

Version: 0.08 (2017-03-16)
Source: https://github.com/codersaur/SmartThings/tree/master/devices/zwave-tweaker
This is a device handler to assist with interrogating and tweaking Z-Wave devices. It’s designed for end-users who want to tweak their devices and for developers who want to quickly discover and report the functionality of new devices. It is intended to temporarily replace a device’s normal device handler.
Key features in v0.08:
Discover association groups, multi-channel endpoints, and configuration parameters.
Configure association group members from the SmartThings GUI.
Configure parameter values from the SmartThings GUI.
Configure Protection and Switch_All modes from the SmartThings GUI.
Discover supported meter/alarm/notification/sensor report types.

Just in case you haven’t used a custom DTH before, here’s the FAQ for that. Basically you’re just going to copy the author’s code, in this case the tweaker DTH, and paste it into your own account.
The original FAQ information in this thread refers to the original smartthings architecture, which was in place through the end of 2022 and a little beyond. Custom code was written in the groovy programming language and ran in the smartthings cloud.
As of May 2023, you can no longer add new Groovy DTH‘s or smartapps to your smartthings account. So if you came here because of a link in an old forum thread, or on another site, I’m afraid the Groovy information is no longer usable.
All of this was replaced by a new architecture. Cloud to cloud integrations use the smartthings API. Hub connected devices, mostly Zigbee and zwave, now use “Edge Drivers,” written in the LUA programming language. Here’s the official announcement on those:
The process for using a custom Edge Driver in the new …
