Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network. Devices such as Dimmer, Relay Switch, Wall Plug, Roller Shutter or scenes can be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller.
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 direct range.

States of the association groups are affected only by buttons. Changing state of associated device by other means will not update remembered state of association group.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 association groups use BASIC CC, but a device doesn’t repond to GET commands.

The KeyFob provides the association of four groups:

• The 1^st association group – Lifeline reports the device status and enables assigning single device only (main controller by default).
• The 2^nd association group – Square – On/Off is assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
• The 3^rd association group – Square – Multilevel is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is usedfor turning on/off and change level of associated devices.
• The 4^th association group – Circle – On/Off is assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
• The 5^th association group – Circle – Multilevel is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used for turning on/off and change level of associated devices.
• The 6^th association group – Cross – On/Off is assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
• The 7^th association group – Cross – Multilevel is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used for turning on/off and change level of associated devices.
• The 8^th association group – Triangle – On/Off is assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
• The 9^th association group – Triangle – Multilevel is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used for turning on/off and change level of associated devices.
• The 10^th association group – Minus – On/Off is assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
• The 11^th association group – Minus – Multilevel is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used for turning on/off and change level of associated devices.
• The 12^th association group – Plus – On/Off is assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
• The 13^th association group – Plus – Multilevel is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used for turning on/off and change level of associated devices.

The KeyFob in the 2^nd to 13^th group enables controlling 5 devices (regular or multichannel) per an association group.
The LifeLine group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned. It isn’t 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 can be delayed.

To add an association (using the controller):

1. Go to Settings .
2. Go to Devices.
3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
4. Select the Associations tab.
5. Specify the groups and devices to associate.
6. Save the changes.
7. Click  and  simultaneously to wake up the device.

Paired buttons associations

After pairing buttons, horizontal pairs of buttons ( and ,  and ,  and ) work as one button and send associations to left buttons groups only.

Left buttons (, , ) turn on associated devices and right buttons (, , ) turn them off.

In multilevel association groups (3, 7, 11) left buttons increase level while holding and right buttons decrease it.

To pair buttons:

1. Change settings of parameters:
   •  and  – set parameter 6 to value 1
   •  and  – set parameter 7 to value 1
   •  and  – set parameter 8 to value 1
2. Save the changes.
3. Click  and  simultaneously to wake up the device.
