I have heard that it is possible to "associate" two z-wave devices so they will communicate with each other directly and not require the z-wave controller to be the go-between (thereby introducing delay and the necessity that the controller be operating for the two z-wave devices to work together). I have the IQ Panel and want to have 2 switches (an Evolve LSM-15 and an LTM-5) associated so they make a 3-way switch for controlling a light. I have read that some controllers can be used to do this, but they require the assistance of the Aeon Labs Minimote to do the actual association.
So my questions are (a) Does the IQ Panel support z-wave association? (b) If so, how is this done and must I purchase a Minimote to do it?
Thanks!

I believe the WallSwipe connects to an Aeotech Nano dimmer module, I assume that is already learned into the IQ Panel
You would then have to go to your Alarm.com account and setup a rule to operate the Leviton and GoControl devices when you use the WallSwipe
Hi Peter,
Yes, your IQ panel does support z-wave association and you will have to use Aeon Labs Minimote for the set up process. Here are the following steps to take once you have the Minimote:
1) Pair both light switches with the IQ Panel
2) Pair the MiniMote with the IQ Panel:
3) Press the Associate Button on the MiniMote
4) Double tap the paddle on the Main light switch
5) Double tap the paddle on the Accessory light switch. They should now be Associated.
6) Delete the MiniMote from the IQ Panel
7) Clear/Reset the MiniMote before using it on another Network.
Here's a more detailed explanation on how to allow a minimote to control devices associated with your IQ panel. This procedure works fine on my Frontpoint system and should work with others that support the IQ panel.
These are great instructions, but now 2 years old. Is there an updated version for the IQ2 panel and Aeotec (Aeon Labs) WallSwipe switch? I have two plugs controlling lamps on opposite sides of the same room (one Leviton, the other a GoControl). I'd like to be able to turn them both on/off using the WallSwipe switch installed in a blank spot of a gang box at the entry to the room. Is this possible and if so, how.
Thanks.
