#7: Associations
NOTE
The Switch 2 supports
the operation of mul-
tichannel devices.
Multichannel devices
are devices that in-
clude two or more cir-
cuits inside one physi-
cal unit.
i
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.

The Switch 2 provides the association of five 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 (S1)”
is assigned to switch con-
nected to the S1 terminal (uses Basic command class).
3rd association group – “Dimmer (S1)” is assigned to switch con-
nected to the S1 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
4th association group – “On/Off (S2)”
is assigned to switch connect-
ed to the S2 terminal (uses Basic command class).
5th association group – “Dimmer (S2)” is assigned to switch con-
nected to the S2 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
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 Switch 2 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.
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 delayed.
To add an association
(using the Home Center controller):
1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Click the “Setting Association” button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Wait for the configuration process to end.
