ZAC36 Valve Actuator & Compatible Hubs

Which Z-Wave hubs will work with my ZAC36 Valve Actuator?

The Valve Actuator was verified as compatible with the following Z-Wave systems:

Z-Box Hub (recommended for all Zooz products)
Alarm.com
Home Assistant (Z-Wave JS)
HomeSeer
Hubitat (2.2.9 or higher)
Ring Alarm (read full instructions here)
SmartThings (install driver here)

If you've tried the ZAC36 on a Z-Wave system other than those listed above, and confirmed it works well for you, please reach out and let us know! We'll be happy to add it to the compatibility list.

Will the device work with my alarm panel?

Alarm.com: Yes; still no access to advanced settings. Other alarm panels: Possibly. It may display as a light switch with on/off capabilities. No access to advanced settings.

Most alarm panels 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.
