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).
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 direct range.
The device provides the association of 5 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 (UP)”
is used to turn the associ-
ated devices on/off reflecting button operation for 1st channel (uses
Basic command class).
3rd association group – “Dimmer (UP)”
is used to change level of
associated devices reflecting button operation for 1st channel (uses
Switch Multilevel command class).
4th association group* – “On/Off (DOWN)”
is used to turn the as-
sociated devices on/off reflecting button operation for 2nd channel
(uses Basic command class).
5th association group* – “Dimmer (DOWN)”
is used to change lev-
el of associated devices reflecting button operation for 2nd channel
(uses Switch Multilevel command class).
The device in 2nd to 5th group allows to control 5 regular or mul-
tichannel 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.
* only in Double Switch Mode
