There is a way to do real zwave association ( using the setassociation command set) just with SmartThings without using a minimote, but it’s pretty complicated and I’m actually not 100% sure that it still works with the V2 hub. @duncan wrote an “auxiliary switch” custom DTH that would allow you to do this.

I don’t expect support to have told you about this because of the complexity. And I’m not recommending this method because to be honest it’s just way easier to use a minimote. But I think it is still doable. @duncan can confirm.

Evolve LTM-5 transmitter to LRM-AS association

Go to create a custom device type Click the “From Code” tab at the top, paste the contents of my gist into the box and hit “Create” and then “Publish” If you’ve already added your accessory switch or if it doesn’t get recognized as the Accessory Switch type, you have to go into the device details and hit “Edit”, then change the device type to “Accessory Switch”. If that’s not in the list, you may not have published the device type properly. Find the device network ID of the target switch or switches you want to associate with the accessory. This will be two alphanumeric digits, like 08 or 1A (you can only associate to Z-Wave devices). Next go into the accessory switch’s preferences in the mobile app. Things > Gear icon on device tile > Preferences. You may have to log out and back into t…

So I’m really just putting this post here to document this additional method. I’m not recommending it for your particular situation.
