Is the ZEN53 installed correctly and powered with a proper 6-32 VDC power source? Now it's time to include the device to your Hubitat. Including the ZEN53 DC Motor Controller to Hubitat is simple! Follow the steps below to quickly and easily add the ZEN53 to Hubitat.
Please install the custom driver prior to pairing to ensure the device is recognized properly: Installation instructions found here.
Important Note: A steady, blinking green is the standard state for the device; as long as the unit has power, it will blink green at a steady pace. The device has an internal relay, which can turn on and off with a click of the Z-Wave button. This means that when you are attempting to include or exclude the device, the clicks need to happen as fast as possible; if the clicks are not completed fast enough, the relay will engage instead and the device will not enter inclusion or exclusion mode. You will know you have clicked fast enough when the LED indicator begins flashing rapidly.
Smart Start Inclusion
On the Hubitat app:
- Open the Tools tab (wrench icon on the bottom)
- Scroll to the bottom, select Z-Wave
- This will take you to a screen where you can select either Smart Start or regular inclusion
- Select Smart Start
- This will take you to the smart start inclusion list. Devices will be displayed there that are in the process of inclusion through Smart Start.
- Select the QR symbol in the top right to open the camera for the DSK scan; scan the QR code printed on the back of the device.
- Power the device (important to do this AFTER QR scan)
- The device integration will begin. The window will appear asking you to name the device; click Save after naming
- Finishing inclusion may take a few minutes

If the ZEN53 is having problems connecting to Hubitat, try the exclusion process first. It will help the ZEN53 Motor Controller configure properly, even if it has never been connected to the hub:
