This page explains how to change Device Description File(DDF) modes and enable or disable DDF levels on devices.

What are these levels?

A DDF can have 3 levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The level indicates how "well" implemented the device is with that DDF.

Bronze device adds "basic" support and is untested and potentially incomplete. Silver is a better version which is tested but potentially incomplete. Gold means full support and safe to use for production networks.

Generally, you want only Gold enabled to avoid any issues. However, while implementing a new device you want to enable other levels so you can add support.

How do I enable or disable these levels?

In the deCONZ Gui, navigate to Panels and click "control":

If you have multiple panels open, make sure to select the correct tab:

In the Control tab, you can check the DDF levels you want to have enabled and you can also change the DDF mode:

After changing that, you can simply load your DDF and "Hot Reload" to make it work.
