Configuration

Associations

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network.

Associations allow:

• reporting the device status to the Z-Wave controller (using Lifeline group),
• creating simple automations by controlling other devices without participation of the main controller (using groups assigned to actions on the device).

The device provides the association of 7 groups:

1st association group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).

2nd association group – "On/Off (1)" is used to turn the associated devices on/off.

3rd association group – "Dimmer (1)" is used to change level of associated devices.

4th association group – "On/Off (2)" is used to turn the associated devices on/off.

5th association group – "Dimmer (2)" is used to change level of associated devices.

6th association group – "Multidevice" is used to control different type of devices.

7th association group – "Slats" is used to move slats of Venetian blinds.

The device allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of "LifeLine" that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

Commands sent to association groups in Double Button Mode (parameter 20 set to 1)

Commands sent to association groups in Single Button Mode (parameter 20 set to 2)

Commands sent to association groups in Switch Controller Mode (parameter 20 set to 3)

Commands sent to association groups in Dimmer / Roller Shutter Controller Mode (parameter 20 set to 4)
