Note: For mains powered devices and FLIRS device the button “Apply configuration to device”
will activate the changes within few seconds. For battery operated devices the commands
are stored to the next wakeup. Its possible and recommended to wakeup the device
manually to speed up the change of configuration values.

Association

Associations allow switching a Z-Wave device B (target) as a result of an event in Z-Wave device
A (source). Z- Wave device A offers lists of devices to switches for each event supported. The
list of these events - also called association groups - and the devices that are associated with
it are shown in the Association tab. In case the information is provided either by the device or
by the device record stored in the software the meaning of the events is written. Otherwise only
event group is shown unnamed. In this case refer to the devices manual for more information
about the association group meaning. The stored devices can be called from the actual device
using a button. The buttons ’+/-’ used to add and remove device from the group. A dialog is
opened and a device can be picked. In case this device has multiple instances an instance drop
down list will appear allowing
to choose the right instance of the target device. The node ID and - if applicable – the instance
id are shown in
the target device list. Move the mouse over the ID to show the complete given name of this
device.
