Set MK3S live-Z value via gcode/terimal

I used to have a MK2 set up with OctoPrint. As we all know PINDA v1 had big reading drift with different temperature, so I used to have multiple pre-heat macro buttons set up (via Custom Control Editor plugin) that also inputs different live-Z value for different types of filament using M851 Z___, and was very happy to never need to live adjust first layer anymore.

It has been a while since I last had that MK2/Octoprint set up. Recently got myself a MK3S but was ultimately disappointed to find that even with internal thermistor in PINDA v2 I still have to constantly adjust live-Z when switching between ABS/PLA. Even worse that it also requires different values between powder coated and smooth PEI spring steels.

And it also appears that M851 Z___ trick does not work with MK3S, does anyone have any idea on how to input live-Z value via gcode on the current firmware?
