Scene control is a bonus feature on Zooz light switches that allows you to use them as smart remote controls. You can program each paddle for multi-tap triggers to turn on different connected devices in your home or even change the mode on your smart thermostat. This functionality is available only if your Z-Wave hub supports the central scene command class in the interface.
Here is how you can use scene control on your switches to get the most of your devices:
- Double tap the bottom paddle of your bedroom dimmer to turn all of the lights in the house off before you go to bed
- Double tap the top paddle on the switch by the front door to enable "away" mode whenever you're leaving the house
- Hold the top paddle on the kitchen switch to turn all of the dimmers in the dining area to maximum brightness and hold the bottom paddle of that switch to turn all of the dimmers to low brightness for a warm evening ambience
- Triple tap the switch in the garage to easily lock your smart locks on your way out
The instructions below can be used for the following light switch models:
- ZEN71 On | Off Switch
- ZEN72 Dimmer
- ZEN73 Toggle Switch
- ZEN74 Toggle Dimmer
- ZEN76 S2 On | Off Switch
- ZEN77 S2 Dimmer
Before you start programming your switch, please note:
- You always need a Z-Wave hub that supports this functionality to program scene control on your smart switches. Please check if your system has button control built into its interface for our devices first.
- You can only trigger devices which are controllable from your hub's interface. This type of communication between the devices requires that your hub is active and operational.
- The paddle on your switch will now be treated like a button on a remote control that's pressed or held - it will send only this information to the hub and should not be treated as an additional on/off device with its own status.
- After you add the switch to the hub, you need to go to the advanced settings to enable scene control on your device (it's disabled by default). If you don't change the setting first, your programming won't work. If you're not sure how to access the settings for your switch, simply search for your model number and the word "settings" in our Support Portal to get detailed instructions for your hub.
