As you noted, this thread is four years old, and quite a bit has changed in that time.
In particular, a community member built a DTH to do exactly this and it works very well. You just temporarily switch your device to the “Z wave tweaker“, scan for the current settings, make any changes you want, and then switch back to your every day DTH.
It’s been very popular since it was first introduced a few years ago, and just recently another community member has updated it to work with the current version of the smartthings app.
See the first post in the thread for an explanation of what it does (the topic title is a clickable link), then skip down to post number 209 for the updated version.
