ASSOCIATIOn
#7: Association
NOTE
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 di-
rect range.
i
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).
The Flood Sensor provides the association of four groups:
1st Association Group – “Lifeline”
reports the device status and al-
lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd Association Group – “Flood Control”
devices in this group will
be switched on or off when flood status changes (done via BASIC SET
command frames).
3rd Association Group – “Flood Alarm”
is assigned to the device
status - devices in this group will receive notification about flood de-
tection or cancellation. useful for devices that can trigger alarms.
4th Association Group – “Tamper Alarm”
is assigned to the TMP
button and tilt sensor - devices in this group will receive a notification
when the sensor is moved or the cover is taken off (which normally
holds the button). useful for devices that can trigger alarms. Func-
tionality can be altered by parameter 74.
To add an association
(using the FIBARO home Center controller):
1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant infor-
mation to devices added to associated groups may take even a
few minutes.
5. Wake up the device by clicking the TMP button to speed up the
configuration process.
The Flood Sensor in 2nd to 4th group allows to control
up to 5 regular and 5 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.
It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general,
as the response time to control commands depends on the number
of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be de-
layed.
