NOTE
Association ensures
direct transfer of
control commands
between devices, is
performed without
participation of the
main controller and
requires associated
device to be in the di-
rect range.

NOTE
2nd and 4th associa-
tion groups use BASIC
CC, but the device does
not repond to GET
commands.
ASSOCIATIONS
#8: Associations
Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within
the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter
or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
The device provides the association of six groups:
1st association group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and al-
lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – "CO Alarm" is assigned to the device status
- devices in this group will be switched on/off when CO Alarm status
changes.
3rd association group – "CO Alarm" is assigned to the device status
- devices in this group will receive notification when CO Alarm status
changes. useful for devices that can trigger alarms.
4th association group – "CO Level" is assigned to measured CO lev-
el - devices in this group will be switched on/off after exceeding the
level of CO concentration specified in parameter 14.
5th association group – "Tamper Alarm" is assigned to the tamper -
sends tamper alarm and cancellation frames to the associated devices.
6th association group – "CO Alarm BC" is assigned to the device
status - devices in this group will receive sensor alarm frames when
CO Alarm status changes. Provides backward compatibility with con-
trollers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.
7th association group – "Tamper Alarm BC" is assigned to the tam-
per - sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the asso-
ciated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not
supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.
The CO Sensor in 2nd to 7th group allows to control 5 reg-
ular or multichannel
"LifeLine" group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1
node can be assigned.
It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general,
as the response time to control commands depends on the number of
associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.
To add an association (using the Home Center controller):
1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.
3. Click the "Setting Association" button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Save the changes.
6. Press the button to wake up the device.
