Which Z-Wave hubs will work with my ZEN17 Universal Relay?
The Universal Relay was verified as compatible with the following Z-Wave systems:
- Z-Box Hub (recommended for all Zooz products)
- ADT Pulse (no advanced settings)
- Ezlo Plus
- Fibaro Home Center 2
- Fibaro Home Center Lite
- Home Assistant (Z-Wave JS)
- 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 (2.2.6 release or higher)
- Indigo
- ISY
- SmartThings (custom device handler required, find it here)
If you've tried the ZEN17 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 this device work with my alarm panel?
Not fully. The ZEN16 will likely be recognized as a single switch with no access to advanced settings.
Most alarm panels, like Alarm.com, 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.
