No custom handlers or drivers needed, inclusion is fast and easy with the Z-Box! The ZEN51 Dry Contact Relay will be recognized and configured correctly on the Z-Box out of the box. Ensure the device is properly installed and powered, then follow the steps below to add the device to your Z-Box hub. You can add a new device via the web interface, or the mobile app. Check out the simple inclusion instructions below!
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.
Follow the steps below to add the ZEN51 from the Z-Box web interface:
- From the sidebar navigation menu of the Z-Box web interface, go to Settings by clicking on the gear icon.
- You will be redirected to the Devices menu.
- Click on + Add device.
- Select the Z-Wave Device option.
- Be prepared to start inclusion on the ZEN51. Click Start.
- While the hub is in inclusion mode, click the Z-Wave button on the ZEN51 3 times as quickly as possible (the LED indicator will start flashing). Alternatively, if the relay is already installed, you can simply toggle the external switch connected to ZEN51 very quickly from off to on, so: "up-down, up-down, up-down." Check out the video linked here to show you how this process works!
- Enter the 5-digit DSK code (on the back of the ZEN51) when prompted.
- Once the device is detected successfully, you will see the list of all child devices that have been detected. Click Next.
- Rename your device and assign it to a room. Click Next.
- Click Finish once done editing all devices.

- Open the Z-Box Hub app on your mobile device.
