12. Z-Wave Associations
Associations are used for direct communication between the Device and other devices within
your Z-Wave network without the need of the Z-Wave gateway.
Max. number of associated devices per group is 9. This value is fixed and can not be configured.
Each association group supports the association of up to 9 devices (nodes). To avoid network
delays, we recommend limiting the number of associated devices to no more than 5 per group.
"Lifeline Group" is reserved for controlling devices, such as Gateways and remote controllers, or
devices who can interpret the reports sent.
Association group 1 - "Lifeline Group" sends to the controlling device it's command class
notifications and or command class reports when said command classes are triggered. Max. 9
nodes are allowed.
12.1 Root device
Root device - Association Group 1 - Lifeline
1. INDICATOR_REPORT : LED status
2. DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION : triggered upon request
3. SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT : status change report on SW1
4. SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT : status change report on SW2
5. SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT : status change report on SW3
6. SWITCH_BINARY_REPORT : status change report on SW4
Root device - Association Group 2
Allowed nodes: 9
It is assigned to switch connected to the SW (SW1) terminal (uses Basic command class).
Triggered by SW (SW1). The device sends according to the state of SW (SW1) (switch or push-
button) the command BASIC_SET ON or BASIC_SET OFF to the associated device. This command
is reflected to the output of associated device. Supports the following command classes:
• BASIC_SET : set On / Off state at the associated device
Root device - Association Group 3
Allowed nodes: 9
It is assigned to switch connected to the SW (SW1) terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command
class). Triggered by SW (SW1).
It is recommended to use push buttons for this association. Supports the following command
classes:
