Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range Scene Controller ZEN32 800LR, White | Z-Wave Hub Required

PROS: -- Internal relay can be disabled to work better with smart bulbs. -- Each button LED can be configured to be white, blue, green or red, with low, medium or full brightness. They can also each be always on, always off, or toggled each time the button is pressed. -- Each button sends a separate value for a single, double, triple, quadruple and quintuple press, as well as press-and-hold and release actions, making for a great controller for complex automations. -- Compatible with 3-way circuits, using either a standard 3-way switch or a momentary push switch. -- Sleek, modern appearance. CONS: -- Face color is slightly darker than standard white faceplates and other switches (in North America anyway). See photo. This scene controller is a great value with lots of features for anyone wanting to set up their own automations. This switch seems designed specifically for the home automation DIYer. Construction seems solid. I'm not sure I agree with some other comments related to button softness, but that's somewhat subjective. To me, the buttons seem fine and provide plenty of physical feedback. I wouldn't want the buttons to be much harder to press as that would make multi-press actions difficult. The one gripe I have is that the color doesn't quite match all the white face plates and other switches in the house. The face color is slightly darker. If Zooz were reading this, I'd also recommend more button LED color and brightness options instead of just 4 colors and 3 brightness levels. Each button has RGB LEDs, might as well let us use more then just red, green, blue and white.

I'm using homeseer and getting this to work *for my application* required some scripting. Basically when the button is pushed, it's status has to be cleared otherwise it remembers that is was pushed. I wanted it to act like a momentary switch, just like the buttons for the garage doors...I mean lets keep life simple for the users. The lights are controlled completely independently of the switch state in my setup. There is a switch on the garage door itself that lets homeseer know the state of the garage door. So when that switch is open the light turns red indicating the garage door is open, when the switch is closed, the light turns green. This little setup has worked out PERFECTLY. It is easy to see the door status without having to poke my head in the garage. It gives a very convenient place *inside* the house to control both doors. ( It is also setup to announce the opening and closing of those doors with a spoken sentence.) The switch itself turns some deck lights on and off (non-dimmable led's so it worked out nicely). And I have two buttons left ... need to figure some other equally useful task for them! Getting the entire works set up was a major PITA, there are 2 garage door openers, two switches telling the status of the doors, two controllers that actually control the doors, the homeseer logic (a story in and of itself), and this switch. So this type of thing isn't for the faint of heart, but it also is a really nice setup and an instant hit around the house. The total price tag for all those bits and pieces was about half that of a fancy integrated door controller that doesn't have the same level of integration as this. Setting up the switch was pretty straight forward, I REALLY like the signal strength testing. It included very quickly and easily. ( If you have problems with inclusion, do a factory reset, then include it again) Setting the light colors was down a secret zwave settings path in homeseer but once I found it that was easy to setup. The relay switch works brainlessly with the lights. It is the newer zwave protocol so it announces when someone pushes the button back to homeseer quickly and I have rules setup for that as well. ( It turns on/off other lights on the deck area. ...to bad there isn't a homeseer mosquito laser I would get that in a second!)

This is a great product with a ton of flexibility. Provides direct control of one circuit, and then 4 other buttons. Each button can be programmed to perform different actions on press, double press, hold, etc, which really gives you a ton of possibilities. There is a Home Assistant blueprint out there already for this switch, which makes it super easy to program to control whatever you want. Directions are pretty clear too, though I ultimately had to call an electrician to install mine but that's because I needed a 2-way install and those can get confusing. After getting some help, the two-way control also works flawlessly. Build quality is also nice, and Zooz actually will provide you with firmware updates, which for some reason a lot of other manufacturers refuse to do. Zooz also supports a bunch of home automation platforms, and their support and documentation are quite good. My only minor ding is that the main switch is only a toggle, no dimming, but that's fine for my uses. All that praise provide, I would only really recommend this for someone with a big home automation setup. Otherwise most of the best functionality would be wasted... like what are you going to control? This device is not very useful without other devices and a hub to interact with.

This is a really nice switch. The primary button is a hard switch, so it will switch power to whatever is behind it even if your smart home system is down, but it IS controllable by your smart home. That's important. I use Home Assistant and it works well. Someone has already written an "Automation" package for it that makes it very easy to get it working as a switch and 4 smart buttons. The only thing I haven't done yet is get the leds to sync with the on/off status. That should just be a script, but I haven't done it yet. Some out-of-the-box smart home system will likely handle that for you. I would like to see the price of smart switches in general be lower, but it is a good value if you have a use for the additional smart buttons. Most smart switches are around this price to control one object. This can do that + 4 (even more if you start working with long presses and mult-presses etc.)

I've had this switch in my 'front room' for several months now and it works great. I have it connected directly to home assistant, and have the buttons as triggers for different things,, including the smart bulbs in the front porch light and a couple of wall sconce lights in said room, controls for the blackout shades on the front window, and even a "panic" button if you will that activates all of the floodlights built into the reolink cameras around the house. The family doesn't think twice about how it works but it seems natural for them and I get to dork out adding different scenes like the party mode which triggers multi colors from the bulbs, and of course "rig for red" as I call it for when I'm gaming at night.. I bought a second one for the kitchen to control a smart fan and some other window shades but I haven't installed it yet.. All in all it's a great controller that teams up well with home assistant, and has held a constant signal with my server.

I’ve come to really appreciate the quality of Zooz products, and the Zen32 is no exception. I have three of them, and aside from controlling the main relay, I use them to control and monitor remote devices like my swimming pool pump and heater, outside lights, and more. It integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant and there is a Blueprint available that makes it easy to set up and use. The ability to monitor the status of devices is a huge plus, and everything has been reliable so far. Highly recommend Zooz for home automation needs. They deliver consistent quality, and the Zen32 is an excellent addition to my setup. Five stars!

I added 3 ZEN32 to my Home Assistant based automation system (90 zigbee + 80 zwave devices) One controls a LIFX fireplace spotlight. I loved being able to disable the internal relay as I always need the bulb to be powered on. I only disabled local control as I sometimes need to reset the bulb. The large button controls the LIFX bulb via Node Red (visual programming in Home Assistant) and the bulb reacts instantly. The other buttons control devices/scenes in the general area eliminating the need to rattle commands to Alexa or use the phone (ie: good at night). There is a Node Red Zen32 node which exposes all button presses making it easy to control whatever you want. I prefer it over blueprints. The other 2 replaced a zwave switch and slave controlling my stairs light. I was hoping that the traveler could be used to make one a slave but it is NOT possible. My only alternative was to wire one as the main switch and the other is simply powered and controls the other via Zwave command. The zwave integration I use in Home Assistant is the default ZWave JS which does not implement zwave association therefore I do it via Node Red. The speed with which it turns on the light is very fast, however one can detect it is not instantaneous as having a hard wired switch. Only negative is that the large button has gotten stuck on a few occasions if not pressed squarely in the middle. Overall, is is a great addition to my Smart Home.

Had four remotes to control ceiling fans, ceiling fan lights and ceiling lights on my covered patio. We were always searching for the remotes when going in for the night or letting the dogs out in the middle of the night. Programmed several Home Assistant "scenes" to each button. Now we can turn on/off everything with one button, turn on or off the ceiling fans with another button, control groups of lights with a choice of color for ambiance with another button. Response time is sub second and have not lost connection since it has been installed several months ago. Recommend Z-Wave over WIFI switches to ensure reliable connectivity. Installation and integration with Home Assistant was relatively easy. My biggest challenge was deciding which combination of devices to assign to a switch button and the option (single press, multiple press, hold press, etc.) to use. Recommend this to any Home Assistant user.

This is a Very good switch for smart homes. i found all of the Controls i needed, i have this switch in my room and it is really nice to be able to control the led lights so that the room can stay dark at night. i have found the speed pretty quick. im am useing home assistant I will probably buy a couple more.

I have installed a lot of different zwave switches. GE, Leviton, etc. I have approx. 40 zwave devices on my smartthings hub. Zooz are by far the best pairing, best features, easiest to wire and best looking. The size is smaller than most smart switches which helps when you are replacing standard switches and the switch box is smaller and packed with wire.

Facile à installer et fonctionne très bien! Je m’en sert pour gérer mon éclairage extérieur et à partir de l’intérieur de la maison, il n’est pas toujours évident de savoir si la lumière est bien dans l’état désiré. Les petits indicateurs de couleur led me servent vraiment bien pour m’indiquer quel lumière est toujours allumée ou éteinte.

From a conceptual perspective, I love the idea behind this product. You get a main switch connected to a relay, that can turn and off whatever it is that the light switch you're replacing used to control. This can be deactivated if you intend on controlling smart bulbs instead. All the buttons have their own dedicated RGB LED that you can customize do your liking and even use as notification lights if you choose to do so. Each button can store up to 7 routines. From single press to quintuple press, hold and release. That's up to 35 programmable actions from this little scene controller. This is nuts and honestly a bit overkill. I have installed 2 of these controllers, one in my bedroom, that control the lights and my smart speaker. For example, when I want to relax, I hit the blue button and the lights turn on at 35% brightness, orange color and a playlist starts to play on my google home. It works flawlessly. I am however experiencing a sporadic issue where the relay will sometimes turn off, even though I disabled the physical switch through the settings. When I was setting the RGB colors on the buttons, I noticed the main relay would randomly turn off. But when I was finished with my setup, it no longer appeared to change state randomly. I reported the issue to Zooz and their technical support proposed that I upgrade the firmware from 10.10 to 10.30. I read through the instructions and realized I needed to buy a dongle for my computer in order to wirelessly upgrade the firmware on the switches. I wrote back saying I was not too comfortable to spend additional money in order to gain the ability to fix a software issue that the devices came with right out of the box. I asked them if I could return the devices to Zooz on their dime to have it flashed then sent back, or if they could send me the dongle so I can flash the new firmware, then send it back. They've answered that they first wanted to make sure flashing the new firmware will indeed fix the issue before providing an answer on my requests. This is where this is sitting right now and will update when I get a final answer. Also a point to note, they are currently hard at work developing Edge drivers for the Smartthings platform. This previously required that a custom device handler be installed through the IDE, however going through the Edge Driver Channel, you can now install the drivers straight to your hub in a few clicks. They seem committed to supporting their devices in the long run, which gives me confidence in buying Zooz products as my home automation needs grow. If this device works flawlessly after I'm done with their technical support, I will gladly raise this to 5 stars rating.

I'm so impressed with the ease of install, instructions, quick install of drivers and integration into my smartthings hub I want to replace every other non zooz switch in the house. Well worth the money!!
