Hello @ranneman
Thank you for providing a detailed explanation.
Comments from the engineering team side:
1 The first message “To create association, please, turn on your device” shows when a battery-powered device is being added to the association. It means that you should wake that device up. We will improve the wording of this message to make it clear.
2 Second message was produced cause Ezlogic wasn’t able to connect to the device you were adding to the association. We will improve the wording of this message too.
As you see, you can create an association with battery-powered devices, but it’s a bit tricky. We aren’t able to control the wake-up process of the device. That’s why it might take a bit to exchange information about the battery-powered device’s association.
You are right, the association was created in the background when your battery-powered device woke up.
