Cooper Z-Wave devices can be associated to other Z-Wave devices for the purpose of
sending commands to these other devices when a button, for example an ON/OFF button,
is pressed. Cooper Z-Wave devices can hold a maximum of 5 associations to other nodes.
One device can send commands to a maximum of 5 other nodes total in all association
groups. If an association is made in group 255, then only 4 associations can be made in
group 1, so the total number of associated nodes is 5 maximum.
For the devices that support the HAIL command, if an association is made in group 255,
then a HAIL command is sent out to the associated node, usually a controller. The HAIL
command, when received by the associated node, can be acted upon and result in any
action desired by the associated node software. For example, this can be used to initiate a
query of the source node to get status.
A device sends a Basic Set command to the associated node. Normally the value sent reflects
the state of the source node (On, Off, or Level) which is the default behavior. However, this
behavior can be overridden by configuring the device with configuration parameter 4 to any
value between 1 and 255. When this is done, then a Basic Set with the configured value will be
sent instead of the state of the device when the device is turned ON. When the device is turned
off, a Basic Set value of 0 will be sent. A configuration value of 0 in parameter 4 restores the
default behavior as described above. Please note that in earlier version of software, this
parameter may not be configurable. Please contact Cooper Wiring Devices with any questions.
