====== Indigo Z-Wave® Association Management ======

Z-Wave has a couple of mechanisms that allow devices to control and respond to each other directly (similar to how [[insteon_link_management|INSTEON links]] work). Currently, Indigo supports the management of one of these mechanisms - Associations. Some Z-Wave devices can control associations - we'll call them association controllers. These devices may have multiple groups that they can control as well. All devices can respond to an association - we'll call these association responders.

To edit associations, select **''Interfaces->Z-Wave->Manage Associations...''**.

The **''Controlling device''** popup lists all Z-Wave devices in your system that support control associations. Once you select one of those (if you have any), then the **''Controlling group''** popup will show how many different association groups the device can control. The **''Responding devices''** list shows all Z-Wave devices that are being controlled by the selected device/group. Select any you want to delete and click the **''Remove Selected Device''** button to remove them from the association. Select a device from the **''Device to add popup''** and click **''Add Responding Device''** to add the device to the association.
