Will the ZEN16 MultiRelay work with my hub?
The relay works great with the following Z-Wave systems:
- Z-Box Hub (recommended for all Zooz products)
- ADT Pulse (no advanced settings)
- Fibaro Home Center 2
- Fibaro Home Center Lite
- Home Assistant
- HomeSeer (Z-Wave Plus or Z-Wave JS Front-End only)
- Homey (Zooz App for Homey, NOTE: creating child devices for inputs is NOT currently supported.)
- Hubitat (2.1.8 release or higher)
- openHAB (2.5.1 or higher)
- SmartThings (custom device handler required, see more here)
It will also be recognized by any open systems which support multilevel switch device types. If your hub is not listed above, please get in touch with us before buying the relay to avoid the hassle of returns.
Will the device work with my alarm panel?
-
Not fully. The ZEN16 will be recognized as a single switch with no access to the advanced settings.
-
Alarm panels like Alarm.com will typically only support single switches, door locks, select thermostats, and any authorized items on their list. We would recommend reaching out to your alarm panel company to verify compatibility and to get the latest on any device integrations they may be working on.
-
It would be up to your alarm panel to integrate the device, as it follows Z-Wave protocol and has been Z-Wave certified. There is nothing we can change on our end to have the ZEN16 be recognized properly; Alarm.com would have to support the integration. Read more about alarm panel compatibility here.
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.
-
Smart speakers are integrated with certain Z-Wave hubs, like SmartThings or Hubitat, which is how you can have voice control of your Z-Wave devices from your smart speakers.
-
Without a compatible Z-Wave hub, no Z-Wave products will function correctly with Alexa or Google alone.
