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 for output O (O1)
4. NOTIFICATION_REPORT: triggered on Overheat
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).
