NOTE

Association

ensures

direct

transfer

control

commands

between devices, is

performed

without

participation of the

main controller and

requires

associated

device to be in the di-

rect range.

NOTE

The device supports

the generic Z-Wave

command class "Basic"

but will ignore any SET

or GET commands and

will not respond with a

Basic Report.

NOTE

Increasing

number

of associations will

increase battery con-

sumption resulting in

shorter battery life.

ASSOCIATIOnS

#5: Associations

Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within

the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter

or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

The Button provides the association of four groups:

1st association group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and al-

lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).

2nd association group – "On/Off" is assigned to clicking the button

and is used to turn on/off associated devices.

3rd association group – "Dimmer" is assigned to holding the but-

ton and is used to change level of associated devices.

4th association group – "Alarm" is assigned to clicking and/or hold-

ing the button (triggers are defined in parameter 30) and is used to

send alarm frames to associated devices.

FIBARO Button in 2nd, 3rd and 4th group allows to control 5 regular

or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception

of "LifeLine" that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1

node can be assigned.

It is not 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 may be delayed.

To add an association (using the home Center controller):

1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:

2. Select the „Advanced" tab.

3. Click the "Setting Association" button.

4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.

5. Save the changes.

6. Wake up the device manually to confirm changes (4 clicks).
