New GE switches: anyone have hands on using their associations capability?

[JDRoberts]

With the GE switches, it’s even worse, because the company put out two different versions of the same Z wave plus model, one which was certified in 2015 and one which was certified in 2016.

The first one only supported the lifeline group.

The second one supports three association groups, which allows for direct triggering of another end device and also allows for double tap.

Same model number!

I honestly don’t know if you can tell from the box which one it is.

There is a community – created DTH for the newest version, so you can see comments from some people who have it there:
