Associations (Binding)

This guide explains how to directly associate Zigbee devices in Thingsplex so they can communicate with each other without routing commands through the hub.

This feature is experimental and not all devices support it. There is also no visual confirmation in the developer UI when it succeeds.

Requirements

• You have access to Thingsplex → Adapters → Zigbee

• You are familiar with systemdata view for devices

• You understand Zigbee clusters and endpoints

Step 1 – Identify devices

1. Go to Thingsplex → Devices → Zigbee or system data in the Futurehome app.

2. Open systemdata for both devices:

   • Controller (e.g., Namron dimmer switch)

     • Note its address and channel.

     • Example: address = 13, channel = 13_1

   • Controlled device (e.g., Tradfri bulb)

     • Note its address and channel.

     • Example: address = 4, channel = 4_1

   

Step 2 – Direct device binding

1. Go to Thingsplex → Adapters → Zigbee → Developer Tools.

2. Find Bind Devices section.

3. Fill in the following fields:

   • Source UDID: controller’s address → e.g. 13

   • Source Endpoint: controller’s channel endpoint → 1

   • Destination UDID: controlled device address → 4

   • Destination Endpoint: controlled device channel endpoint → 1

   • Cluster ID: choose OnOff, LevelControl, or ColorControl depending on what you want to control.

4. Click Bind Devices.

If supported by both devices, the bulb will now respond directly to the switch (even if the hub is offline).

Step 3 – (Optional) Group binding for multiple bulbs

If you want one switch to control multiple bulbs:

1. Go to Bind Group instead of Bind Devices.

2. Use:

   • Source UDID: controller’s address (e.g., 13)

   • Source Endpoint: controller’s endpoint (1)

   • Group ID: choose a new or existing group (e.g., 5)

   • Cluster ID: select OnOff or LevelControl

3. Bind each bulb >>>and remote controller<<< to the same Group ID.

Now all bulbs in that group will react simultaneously to commands from the switch.

Notes

• Compatibility is not guaranteed across different vendors (e.g., Namron → IKEA).

• No confirmation will appear in the UI — you must test manually.
