Start by ensuring the Edge driver is installed for the ZEN34. Once that's installed, you can add the device to your hub, and program it!. Here are a few tips on making it work.
First, make sure your device was recognized correctly as the Zooz ZEN34 Remote Switch and displays with a remote control icon in the app. If it was added as a Z-Wave device and doesn't look like it has any capability in the app, please exclude it and try adding it again.
You can control devices and activate scenes using this remote by assigning custom actions to selected button triggers. Just click on the device in your SmartThings app and take a look at the list of available actions, then click on the ones that you'd like to use as triggers.
"Toggled down" simply means "lower paddle pressed once", "Toggled up 3 times" means "upper paddle pressed 3 times", etc. Don't forget to click Save after you've assigned an action to your trigger!
If you need to edit or delete any of the programming, just go to the SmartThings app menu and click on Routines. Then find the action you'd like to remove on the list of your automations and press and hold it to delete.
If you are looking to dim your smart bulb with the ZEN34 on SmartThings via scene control, please note that virtual/wireless dimming where you press the paddles and it sends a signal to the bulbs to start changing brightness can usually be accomplished by "held" and "released" button triggers and "start level change" / "stop level change" on the action side for the lights on most hubs. Unfortunately, SmartThings doesn't currently support the action part of this rule so this method cannot be used.
If you install the Edge driver, you can also control other Z-Wave devices with this Remote Switch through direct association. This will establish a link between the device that will allow them to communicate even if the hub is down.
To program associations:
- Click on the Remote Switch device in your SmartThings app.
- Click on the 3 dots in the corner.
- Click on Settings.
- Scroll down to Device Associations and read the instructions and disclaimer carefully to finish programming the switch.
- Wake the device up by tapping the upper paddle 7 times quickly.
IMPORTANT: please make sure that the device you're trying to control is added with the same Z-Wave security level as the Remote Switch.
