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 the device work with my alarm panel?
-
Not fully. The ZEN17 will be recognized as a single switch with no access to the advanced settings.
-
Alarm panels like Alarm.com will typically only support single switches, door locks, select thermostats, and any authorized items on their list. We would recommend reaching out to your alarm panel company to verify compatibility and to get the latest on any device integrations they may be working on.
-
It would be up to your alarm panel to integrate the device, as it follows Z-Wave protocol and has been Z-Wave certified. There is nothing we can change on our end to have the ZEN17 be recognized properly; Alarm.com would have to support the integration. Read more about alarm panel compatibility here.
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.
-
Smart speakers are integrated with certain Z-Wave hubs, like SmartThings or Hubitat, which is how you can have voice control of your Z-Wave devices from your smart speakers.
-
Without a compatible Z-Wave hub, no Z-Wave products will function correctly with Alexa or Google alone.
