Will the ZEN20 Power Strip work with my hub?
Last time we checked, the ZEN20 Power Strip worked great with the following Z-Wave systems:
- Z-Box Hub (recommended for all Zooz products)
- Fibaro Home Center 2
- Fibaro Home Center Lite
- Home Assistant
- HomeSeer (Z-Wave Plus or Z-Wave JS Front-End)
- Hubitat
- SmartThings Hub
- Wink and Wink 2 (no energy monitoring or advanced settings)
It will also be recognized by any open systems which support multi-channel device types. If your hub is not listed above, please get in touch with us before buying the plug to avoid the hassle of returning the product.
Will this device work with my alarm panel?
No.
Most alarm panels, like Alarm.com, generally support single switches, door locks, select thermostats, and other approved devices on their compatibility list. We recommend reaching out to your alarm panel provider to confirm compatibility and check for any upcoming device integrations.
Since the device follows the Z-Wave protocol and is Z-Wave certified, integration is dependent on your alarm panel provider. Unfortunately, while we can request integration, we don’t have control over whether the device is fully recognized—this would need to be supported by your alarm panel provider.

Can I connect the device directly to my Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or other smart speaker?
No. Smart speakers like Alexa or Google are not equipped with a Z-Wave chip and are not Z-Wave gateway controllers. Without a compatible Z-Wave hub, no Z-Wave products will not function correctly with Alexa or Google alone.
However, if your Z-Wave hub supports a Smart speaker integration (like Z-Box, SmartThings, and Hubitat do), this would allow voice control of your Z-Wave devices from your smart speakers.
