Zooz 500 series VER. 2.0 / 3.0 / 4.0 switches are compatible with 5-ways only with particular wiring scenarios.

(These are discontinued products, replacement models: ZEN71, ZEN72, ZEN73, and ZEN74 - please note the wiring for the ZEN73 and ZEN74 has changed so follow the instructions for your model only when wiring these switches) What does that mean?

See the diagram below illustrating 5-way wiring for these models. In general, we recommend using the S2 models (ZEN26 or ZEN27 for larger installations like this one). Here are some things to note:

• A 5-way is what we call 4-point control so 4 different switches controlling the same set of lights.
• You have to have load and line in the same switch box to install Zooz Ver 2.0 / 3.0 in a 5-way. If you have line and load separated between two boxes, there is no way to wire the Zooz switch with the other 3 existing switches.
• If you have load and line in separate boxes, look into our new S2 switches. Zooz S2 switches have an new wiring schematic that allow you to use the switches in 4 and 5-ways where load and line are separated. Here's more about wiring S2 switches in 5-ways (NOTE: the wiring for S2 switches is different than V2/V3 switches. Do not try to wire S2 switches and V2/V3 switches the same way).
• Depending on the type of 4-way switches you have, you may have to rewire the middle 4-way switches where 2 black wires are on one side and 2 white wires are on the other side (rather than being across from each other).
• The diagrams show all connections but ground (the ground wire was excluded in order to simplify the illustrations).
• Colors and location of the common screw on the 3-way switches are just for illustration and will not always match your set-up so please don't follow the colors or screw orientation blindly.
• Use only simple on/off switches without LED indicators when wiring them with Zooz Z-Wave switches (no dimmers!).
• All boxes need to be rewired.

If you have any doubts about your set up or the installation process, hold on there! Don't connect any wires without 100% certainty of the process. Let us know if you have any questions about the installation. We'll be happy to help.
