How to set Multichannel Associations to endpoints of a device

Developer Programs Writing Device Types

Hah! Looks like it can be hacked to work with unimplemented command classes also. For future reference, it is possible to set a Multichanel Association Lifeline association (with RAW Z-Wave bytes) on a device via it’s Device Handler if you use Configuration capability and make the configure method like this:

def configure() {
	def assocCmds = []
	assocCmds << zwave.associationV1.associationRemove(groupingIdentifier:1, nodeId:zwaveHubNodeId).format()
	assocCmds << new physicalgraph.device.HubAction("8E0101000101")
	return delayBetween(assocCmds, 1000)
}

In the string passed to HubAction “8E0101000101” you can modify the last two byte values in the string 8E0101000101 to fit your controller setup. My example is for Multichannel NodeId 1 with endpointId 1. For Multichannel NodeId 2 and endpointId 3 the string would look like “8E0101000203”.

Does anyone know how the zwaveHubNodeId could be concatenated into that string? I tried the generic “8E010100”+zwaveHubNodeId+“01” way but that caused the command not to be sent anymore.

Now just to test if it’s reliable for multiple inclusions and over a couple of days.

Much thanks to Arcaneshark’s post for the solution:
