ZEN71 VS ZEN76: What's the Difference?
print icon

All these model numbers, but what do they mean? While the ZEN71 and the ZEN76 are both 800 series long range on/off switches that both support S2 security, they have different designs and are intended for specific uses. Check out the comparison below to make the best decision for your unique installation!

The ZEN76 has a unique, patented design that is much more flexible and easier to install in multi-point control circuits (you just need to replace the switch with direct connection to power and neutral with the ZEN76 Zooz switch and you're done). Because of this design, they use 2 travelers, so there wasn't enough space to make them as powerful as the ZEN71. 

 

If something here isn't clear or you'd like to see more attributes added to the list, just let us know!
