I added a z-wave dimmer switch to Eisy.   It added 5 items (nodes?).  Can someone point me to beginner documentation that explains what they are and how to use them?


ZY0002_1 Dimmer Switch  (which I renamed "powder Room Light Dimmer")
ZY0002 SC Basic Assoc 2
ZY0002 SC Basic Assoc 3
ZY0002 Scene Button 1
ZY0002 Scene Button 2

Thanks

When you add a Zwave device to the eisy you'll most likely end up with extra nodes that you don't need. The reason being is that, unlike Insteon,  zwave devices are designed to work with various Zwave hubs, and each hub may require and/or support these extra nodes.

What most of us do is create a folder and move the nodes we don't use into that folder which will give you a cleaner device tree.

I've attached 2 files that may help explain associations. Being that the eisy already supports scenes you most likely won't need the associations or scenes nodes that the device installs
