Recommended Accessories for Your ZEN27 Dimmer Switch

Accessories for my ZEN27 light switch? Read on!

If you'd like to match your wall plates to your new ZEN27 dimmer, then our recommendation would be the Leviton white wall plates, commonly found in most hardware stores.

 

For 3-ways or installations with more than 1 switch, the Leviton white on / off switches is your best bet if you want the mechanical on/off switches to match, too. You won't need any add-on switches as Zooz switches need to be connected to regular on/off 3-way switches at the other end of the installations.

 

Note: This model is only available in white. If you're looking for other colors, check out the 700 series version - the ZEN77 Dimmer which comes in light almond, brown, and black paddle options.

 

Need help with your installation? We recommend closely reading the instructions found inside the box with your ZEN27 and preparing the tools you'll need BEFORE starting the installation. A neutral jumper needed in most installs is included in the box with your switch. If you need additional wire or wire nuts to complete your installation, then we would recommend 14 AWG as used in most standard 120 V installations. Other basic electrical tools recommended to have on hand include a voltage meter and electrical pliers.

 

Important: Check that your installation is within the ZEN27's maximum load specifications before connecting the switch. The ZEN27 can handle up to 100W for LED bulbs or 300W for incandescent lights. You cannot use the ZEN27 Dimmer to control a receptacle and mixing incandescent and LED bulbs in the same installation is not recommended. You can learn more about what can or cannot be connected to Zooz switches from our other Knowledge Base articles: General Questions about Zooz Light Switches.

 

Here are recommended steps before starting your installation:

  • Check you have the right wiring diagram. If you're installing your ZEN27 in a single pole location, then you can find the wiring diagram here (scroll down to Installation). If it's a 3-or more-way installation, then you can use the diagrams found here in our Knowledge Base.
  • Identify your wires. The wiring of your ZEN27 dimmer might be different than your existing switch or any other Zooz model switch. For example, the ZEN27 won't use the same diagram as the ZEN22. Use this guide to make sure you're making the right wire connections before installing.
  • Confirm your switch box has neutral wiring. All Zooz switches, including the ZEN27, need neutral in the box to be installed. Contact us if you don't know if there's neutral in the box.
  • Hire a licensed electrician. We would recommend hiring a licensed professional to install your switch, if you're not comfortable around electrical installations.
  • You can also reach out to us. The wiring in your home could be different than what's in our diagrams. We can help with the wiring if you send us a ticket with your order number so we can verify the model (Amazon order numbers work too!) and images of the wiring in each switch box so we can send the most accurate directions.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions about your ZEN27 switch, we'll be happy to help!
