Associations
Association (linking devices)
– direct control of other devices with-
in 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 ac-
tions on the device).
i
Commands send to association groups reflect input
operation according to device configuration, e.g. turn-
ing the first channel on using button will send frame re-
sponsible for the same action.
Smart Module provides the association of 2 groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline”
reports the device status and al-
lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “On/Off (1)”
is used to turn the associated
devices on/off reflecting input operation (uses Basic command class).
Double Smart Module provides the association of 3 groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline”
reports the device status and al-
lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “On/Off (1)”
is used to turn the associated
devices on/off reflecting input operation for 1st channel (uses Basic
command class).
3rd association group – “On/Off (2)”
is used to turn the associated
devices on/off reflecting input operation for 2nd channel (uses Basic
command class).
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.
