Advanced Z-Wave Parameters
Association Groups
Z-Wave devices can control other devices directly. This direct control is called association in Z-Wave. The device ID of the device to be controlled must be stored in the controlling devices. This is done in so-called association groups. An association group is always linked to an event in the controlling device (keystroke or triggering of a sensor). When this event occurs, a control command – usually a BASIC SET – is sent to all devices stored in an association group.The device supports one association group:
| Group-Number | MaximumDevices | Group name | Profile | command class |
| Group 1 | 5 | Lifeline | General | Notification reportBattery reportDevice Reset Locally NotificationEntry control |
Group 1 (Association Z-Wave Controller)The Lifeline Association is automatically established between the Z-Wave controller and the device at inclusion and defines what information is exchanged between the Z-Wave controller and the device.
