ASSOCIATIOn
#7: Association
The Wall Plug provides the association of three groups:
1st Association Group – “Lifeline”
(for root, endpoint 1 and 2)
reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only
(main controller by default).
2nd Association Group – “On/Off (Button)”
(for root and endpoint 1)
devices in this group will be switched on or off when relay status is
changed using the button (uses Basic command class).
3rd Association Group – “On/Off (Plug power)”
(for root and end-
point 1) devices in this group will be switched on or off depending on
the current load of plugged device (uses Basic command class).
NOTE
Association ensures
direct transfer of
control commands
between devices, is
performed without
participation of the
main controller.
i
The Wall Plug in 2nd and 3rd group allows to control
up to 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group.
“LifeLine” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1
node can be assigned.
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).
NOTE
2nd association group
commands are sent
only in case of manual
operation through the
button.
3rd association group
commands are sent
automatically, de-
pending on parame-
ters 21 to 27.
