ASSOCIATIOnS

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.

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).

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.

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).

Association ensures 

direct transfer of 

control commands 

between devices, is 

performed without 

participation of the 

main controller and 

requires associated 

device to be in the di-

rect range.

Increasing number 

of associations will 

increase battery con-

sumption resulting in 

shorter battery life.
