Heatit Z-Push Button 2 multilevel association

I bought a Thermofloor Heatit Z-Push Button 2 to directly control a Qubino ZMNHDD1 dimmer. Securely included the Wall switch into my Domoticz setup and added the dimmer module to Group 2 of the wall switch. Even created the xml config. But whatever I do I cannot get the dimmer to respond to the buttons. Adding the buttons as sensors to trigger scenes is no problem. Just not controlling other devices directly via association. The manual does not list any configuration command for switching between scene activation or direct control of associated devices. It does say this:

The Push Button has following functions:
1. Control of groups of other Z-Wave devices using ON, OFF and Dim commands.
2. Activation of scenes in Gateway mode.

What am I missing here? Should I somehow switch modes for the Group 2 buttons? Has anyone ever succeeded in using this device in direct Group association control mode?

No problem. It's actually a very nice module and could be a worthy successor of the now obsolete Z-wave.me wall switch. It comes with a nice 50mm adapter for existing installations. Slightly off-color compared to the polar white Gira stuff, but usable.

I have asked the manufacturer for support.

From https://www.facebook.com/pg/heatitcontrols/posts/:
Kan den brukes til assosiasjoner og scene kontroller samtidig?
Answer from Heatit:
Ja, det kan den.
So that rules out having to switch modes: this Z-Push wall switch does indeed control associated devices while at the same trigger scenes apparently.

It finally works, just not with a secure connection. I tried to exclude, securely include and exclude a few times. When excluding the securely included switch it (Openzwave?) crashed more than once.

Code: Select all

Error: Domoticz(pid:18963, tid:18992('ZWaveBase')) received fatal signal 11 (Segmentation fault)
And every time I included it securely it would not control via association. The LED just stays on for 10 seconds when pushing a button.

Could be communication errors in secure inclusion mode. Maybe some bug in Openzwave? Maybe in the switch?

Domoticz: V4.10717
OpenZWave: Version: 1.4-3335-g74e05982-dirty

BTW, how can one tell whether a device is included securely or not?
