			LinuxMCE 1204 uses the OpenZWave library for ZWave support, so see [https://code.google.com/p/open-zwave/ OpenZWave] for more details on supported controllers. The controllers listed below are valid to 1004.

			== Setting associations ==

			The web interface allows you to create associations between devices (I believe this requires SIS mode, not sure). Click "Show device tree" then navigate to your z-wave device(under CORE) and select "Send command to device". A popup window will show and you can choose the "Set Association" command. Enter three parameters:

			* the zwave NodeID of the source device, the one that will send the command
			* the group in the source device that will trigger the send (typically the button number on a multi-paddle switch)
			* the NodeID(s) device(s)

			Example: 5 / 2 / 7,8 would cause devices 7 and 8 to turn on when you press button 2 of device 5

	This type of z-wave USB stick acts as an interface into the Z-Wave system only. It allows LMCE to have full control, however, you will need a seperate Z-Wave master controller(Required). A master controller can be used in addition to LMCE to control Z-Wave devices.
