Association - one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling
another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs
to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association
groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless
command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

GROUP 1 is lifeline service that assigned to Sensor (Door/Window detector)
status u2013 Open/Close. It enables the sensor to send reports and readings to
Z-Wave Controller or Z-Wave Gateway whenever the sensor is triggered. This
Group Support: NOTIFICATION_REPORT BATTERY_REPORT
SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION

GROUP 2 allows for sending control commands to associated devices such as
relay module, lighting, etc. This association group is configured through the
advanced parameters no. 1 and 2. This Group Support: BASIC_SET.

GROUP 3 allows for Send Notification to associated devices in this group. This

GROUP 4 allows for Send Notification to associated devices in this group. This

Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration
can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.
IMPORTANT:
Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in the range
128 ... 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set
a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two
byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative
values too.
Parameter 1: Configuring the OFF Delay
This configuration parameter can be used to adjust the amount of delay before the OFF command is
transmitted.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

Parameter 2: Basic Set Level
Basic Set Command will be sent where contains a value when the door/window is opened or closed,
Z-Wave controller or z-wave gateway will take it for consideration; for instance, if a lamp module
receives the Basic Set Command of which value is decisive as to how bright of dim level of lamp
module shall be.
