**<big>''Configure'': Pressing this button causes the driver to execute its configure() function. This function usually sends configuration commands to the Zigbee or Z-Wave device, instructing those devices on how to report status updates back to the Hubitat hub. This normally happens automatically whenever a device is initially paired with the hub.</big>

</big>
**<big>''Refresh'': polls the device to assure the current status (see below) is accurate.</big>
 
 
 
*<big>'''Current Status''' ('''B''') shows the current status of the device and can be as simple as "on" or "off", but it may also include other status readings such as battery level and temperature, etc.</big>
 
 
 
*<big>'''State Variables''' ('''C''') shows you the current stored values of the driver attributes. For example, the last stored activity or value from a variable such as temperature offset.</big>
 
 
 
*<big>'''Preferences''' ('''D''') is where you can disable or enable logging to help troubleshoot issues. This can be especially helpful to developers of custom code. Devices may also have some settings that you can configure here. Consult the device user manual or the custom driver developer for specifics on how to adjust these preferences. If you make adjustments to any details, be sure to click ''save'' to store the new settings.</big>
 
*<big>'''Device Information''' ('''E''') is where you specify the device name, and device label. If you are adding a virtual device, this is where you will choose the driver type or adjust it for a device that didn't automatically select the correct device driver when added to your hub. You may also add your device to [[Hub Mesh]] by simply turning on the '''Hub Mesh Enabled''' option.</big>{{Top}}
