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.
