Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic. The ZWS12 supports 3 association groups. ### Group 1: Lifeline The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation. Position reporting Life Line – group for position reporting actuator after each a stoppage and alarm reporting (overcurrent, damage encoders). This group can be a maximum 1 device. Association group 1 supports 1 node. ### Group 2: Basic Repeat Basic commands Basic Repeat – group used to transfer the received basic commands to the devices included in this group. This group can be a maximum 5 devices. Association group 2 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 3: Multilevel Repeat Transfer the received multilevel commands Multilevel Repeat – group used to transfer the received multilevel commands to the devices included in this group. This group can be a maximum 5 devices. Association group 3 supports 5 nodes. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_NO_OPERATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_V3| Linked to BASIC| | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_ALL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ALARM_V3| | | COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_NODE_NAMING_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SECURITY_V1| | ### Documentation Links * [Manual](https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1081/reference/180302-ZWS12-RU-User-Manual.pdf) --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
