VZW31-SN Switch Association

Switches General Discussion
1

Can someone assist with the correct steps?

Associate Groups 3 & 4 (child switch is the non-load switch, parent is the load switch)
I see where I can do this in the Home Assistant Interface, for each smart switch I have a Groups 3 & 4 and can set a Target Node and Target Endpoint.
Parent (Load) dimmer (Hall-S1)
Group 3:
Target Node=?
Target Endpoint=?
Group 4:
Target Node=?
Target Endpoint=?

Child (non-load) Dimmer (Hall-S2)
Group 3:
Target Node=?
Target Endpoint=?
Group 4:
Target Node=?
Target Endpoint=?

An also:
Set Parameter 12 to 11 (On Child)
This is listed as the ‘Auto Off Timer’, is that the intended Parameter to set to 11 is did something change?

What kind of switches are you doing this with?
(This seems to be a rather old thread talking about Gen-2 LZW31-SN devices)

@JoeKosharek Here is an example I have of one master switch to two slave switches:

For the VZW31-SN (which is the device you are using but not the device in the original thread) Parameter 59 should be set to 1 on one switch and 3 on the others.

It looks you have 2 switches configured and not 3, or is NodeID_1 the master switch and switch2 and switch3 are the slaves?

Parameter 59 should be set to 1 on the master and 3 on the slaves?

For Parameter 59 ([21-112-0-59-1] Send Local Commands to Associated Devices) I have options 1 to enable and 2 to disable, I assume it’s 2?

I can only get the slave switch to control the master if they are both set to 1 (enabled), which makes sense because the slave switch needs to send in the local inputs commands to the master.

Is there supposed to be a option 3?

Hi, from your previous post you are trying to setup two switches right? The article I linked gives that scenario, but the screenshot I posted is similar to give you an idea (it is actually 3 switches in my setup - Switch1 → Switch2 → Switch3). Maybe just look at the article because it is probably less confusing.

P59 is actually presented a little different in Z-Wave JS. You can set the actual value if you scroll down to the bottom:

I usually set the master switch to have P59 = 3 and the other switches to 1.

Z-Wave JS breaks apart Parameter 59 into two different options. You want your secondary switch (not load) to look like this:

I don’t recommend doing it that way. Z-Wave JS doesn’t behave well when you change a parameter that it has broken out already. You actually end up with the broken out versions as well as the non-broken out version and the two don’t stay in sync.

@rohan What you posted is the default and seems to be working quite well.

I appreciate the quick responses, thank you both.

Going to be purchasing another 10 or 20! Love these things so far.

On the main switch (which has the load connected), you want both of those options for Parameter 59 to be “Enabled” otherwise when you turn on the load from your hub, the secondary switch will not reflect the state.

Moved to a new topic as this pertains to a later generation switch.
