Which Z-Wave hub systems are compatible with my Scene Controller?
The ZEN32 was verified as compatible with the following Z-Wave systems:
- Z-Box Hub (recommended for all Zooz products)
- Alarm.com (scene triggers only, see programming instructions here)
- Fibaro Home Center Lite
- Home Assistant (Z-Wave JS)
- HomeSeer (Z-Wave Plus or Z-Wave JS Front End)
- Homey (Zooz App for Homey)
- Hubitat (platform version 2.2.6 or higher)
- Indigo
- SmartThings Hub (custom device handler needed, find it here)
If you've tried the Scene Controller 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 include it on the compatibility list.
Will the device work with my alarm panel?
-
Alarm.com: Yes. Other alarm panels: No.
-
Most alarm panels 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 ZEN32, as it follows Z-Wave protocol and has been Z-Wave certified. There is nothing we can change on our end to have the ZEN32 be recognized correctly; your alarm panel 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. You will be able to control the large button on the ZEN32 via the smart speaker, however, the small buttons of the Scene Controller won't be able to be controlled by voice since they don't show up as individual devices.
-
Without a compatible Z-Wave hub, no Z-Wave products will function correctly with Alexa or Google alone
