I have recently changed out some switches, and am trying to change a Group 2 Association on one of my switches. I recently upgraded to software V2.4, and I have no idea how to change the device number for my Group 2 Association. I'm trying to change "8A" in the screenshot below.
Can anybody help?
This is not a standard part of any built-in device driver (except a specific pair for a certain brand, I think, Eaton with the accessory switch).
So, how you do this will depend on whatever third-party solution you used to set this up in the first place. Can you share how you did that?
Sorry, I should have added that. I'm using the Z-Wave Association Tool. It seems no matter what changes I make there, it doesn't change the device number under Association Group 2.
Is changing the association actually working? State variables are for internal use by the driver; those could have been set by a different driver, set by this driver in some other way, but are not per se indicative of anything, only whatever driver you're using makes of them (nothing at the platform level sets or uses these for association).
I'm not seeing anything with a quick search of a current Inovelli driver that would set these particular names (possible I missed something...), but note that you do need to be using a driver that supports use of this tool (like theirs do) for it to work. Seeing if Logs show any errors for missing commands would be a quick way to see that much. Otherwise, it's possible you need a different solution that works with your drivers, or this one could have still worked.
Oh, I think you're right! I think I tried that tool, but realized it was for Inovelli only, so it's actually not doing anything. I must have added that Association Group 2 (8A) some other way. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember how I did it. I'll have to try to find it elsewhere.
Thanks for reminding me that that was an Inovelli tool. I'll delete that now so I won't get confused about it in the future. Now I just have to figure out how I got that Association Group 2 variable in there in the first place. Any ideas how I might find that?
I just tried Switch Bindings instead of Association Group 2, and it's working for me, but I still can't get rid of my Association to Device 8A.
Did you previously try a custom driver with commands or preferences to set association?
You nailed it! I had unknowningly changed from a custom driver that had association preferences to the built-in driver which does not. I switched back to the custom driver, and lo and behold, I can now change my association!
We thought of the answer at exactly the same time. Thank you!
