Manage Associations

Information on using the Z-Wave Plus to Manage Z-Wave Associations

Overview

Associations are direct wireless links between Z-Wave devices. All modern devices include a group 1 “Lifeline” association which provides device status updates to the hub. Group 2 associations (if available) allow devices to control each other directly without requiring a hub automation. For example, a water sensor may control a water valve or a motion sensor may control a light switch with a group 2 association.

Steps

Adding an Association

In this example, we’ll add a group 2 association to Mark’s Office Light switch that will also control the Reception Overhead Light switch.

  1. Navigate to Plugins > Z-Wave Plus > Manage Associations.

  2. Use the menu to find and Select a Z-Wave Device and click CONTINUE. A list associations that have already been set for this device will display above. In this example, the Lifeline association has been set for Mark’s Office Light:

    • ADD/REMOVE ANOTHER ASSOCIATION ON THIS DEVICE - Takes you back to step #3 above for the same device.

    • FINISH - Loads the HS4 Devices page
