Product description
Use it with existing on/off switches (NO dimmers) in your 3-way, 4-way, or 5-way set-up, even if load and line are not in the same box. No need for add-on switches, no need to rewire other boxes. Just wire the Zooz in the box with power and neutral (check your boxes before buying).

This device is Long Range ready so if your hub or home automations software supports Z-Wave LR, get ultra reliable direct communication between the switch and hub.

Zooz is wonderful and these switches are no exception
I’m a complete convert to Zooz devices and these ZEN73 switches are no exception. Zooz Z-Wave “just works” with Home Assistant and is so easy to connect. Documentation is good and technical support has never steered me wrong. I’ve been looking for several years for a good replacement for my old Insteon switches and based on experience with other Zooz devices I decided to give these switches a try. (The fact that they make my wife happy is a plus! She insists on having a “traditional” toggle switch look rather than another solution that is more contemporary in appearance and function.) Hookup is easy and coming from the old Insteon switches I especially love how much less space is taken up in the box for these — no extra wires and wire nuts, just clean attachments.

Solid z-wave products
I have used z-wave products for years, starting way back with the Leviton Vizia series. After a home sale and move, I have been setting up my current home with Home Assistant (Home Assistant Yellow PoE with Zooz ZAC93 GPIO add-on board and the Z-Wave JS UI software). The Zooz installation is so easy to perform the inclusion and fully utilizes the S2 security encryption. Zooz support has been fantastic as well, be sure to register each product for great warranty protection. With the large number of switches installed, sometimes you can encounter on that may fail (all electronic/mechanical devices can fail). The single switch that did was swiftly replaced after contacting Zooz. The firmware updates handled by Home Assistant is also fantastic and shows Zooz’s commitment to ensuring that the products utilize the latest software revisions from the Z-wave alliance. So reliable, unlike my experience with Zigbee switches (which were replaced with the constant issues and lack of firmware updates).

Zooz provides excellent customer service
Purchased Zooz ZEN74 Dimmer Switch to automate lights in kitchen with 3-Way setup. Included wiring diagrams did not match my configuration. Went online and found one additional wiring option and it also did not match my existing wiring configuration. Decided to submit online support ticket and was very pleased with the prompt response requesting details and pictures of my existing wiring. Zooz customer support reviewed my wiring and provided step-by-step instructions and a visual aid. Switch works great and Zooz customer service is excellent!

The High-Tech Light Switch That Makes You Feel Like a Wizard (Who Still Has to Read the Manual)
The Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range On/Off Switch is perfect for anyone who’s ever thought, “You know what this light switch needs? A firmware update.”Right out of the box, it looks innocent enough — just a simple switch. But don’t be fooled. This thing speaks fluent Z-Wave, communicates with your smart home hub better than most people text back, and has a range so long it probably picks up signals from your neighbor’s house. Hope you enjoy accidentally controlling their garage door.Installation is fairly straightforward — assuming you enjoy playing electrician for fun and can remember which breaker controls which room (spoiler: you can’t). Just make sure you’re cool with cramming it into a wall box that was apparently designed for wires and hopes, not smart tech.Once it’s connected, you can control your lights like some kind of power-hungry wizard: from your phone, your hub, or even automations that turn the lights off right after you leave the room like a passive-aggressive ghost.Bonus: it’s compatible with the latest Z-Wave tech, which means it’ll still be useful after your current smart home setup has gone the way of Betamax.Would I recommend it? Sure! If you love home automation, don’t mind reading installation guides that are slightly more complex than IKEA furniture, and enjoy flipping switches with the smug satisfaction of knowing your house is smarter than you are.

Great Z-Wave switch
Easy install. I had to modify the existing 3-way with wiring. Great instructions are included. Quick and easy inclusion on my Hubitat. It is a great addition to my ever growing home automation.

Instant inclusion and operation…
After 15+ years doing Z-Wave installations with numerous brands of devices, as well as system programming, I found a winner! Using Home Assistant on my Android phone was a big help. I installed the switch, turn on the power, and scanned the barcode with the HA app open. Within a minute or so, it was working. Because I named the dimmer device the same as the dimmer device that died, the system became fully functional. And a hint to the newbies: The newer brands, such as Zooz and a few others, work far better than the traditional brand names in switches, receptacles and dimmers. The old guys were great at the mechanical, but never really caught on to making smart connected devices.

Very fast delivery. Easy to install and works perfectly.

I assume the supply chain issues, semiconductor shortage drove up z wave prices. This was relatively priced well. I have 14 pot lights in basement. Led, like less than 10 watts each. This works with smartthings. Now I don’t need to get my butt off sofa. Only complaint… as I was installing it, turning breaker back on, pots were live but in the lowest dim level… to me they looked off. So I assumed wiring was wrong… wasted like 30 min playing with wires only to realize it was working at the beginning. Held up for a few seconds, and boom, lights were working. Odd.

Bought this to replace an older Zwave switch that was getting flakey and missing on/off commands from the hub. This one has not mis-fired once. Zwave Plus is a worthy investment for those looking for improved reliability and range. Solidly built, works great with my Hubitat hub. The Hubitat Zooz app also supports changing the LED indicator colour. Installation was only mildly tricky, figuring out how the wire terminal clamps work. Very happy overall.

One of my first smart devices was a Zzoz battery operated motion sensor that was awful, so I was kind of turned off of them for years.I wanted this particular style of switch to match an existing one so I figured I’d give them a try again. These switches have been working well since installing them. They are about 100 feet away from my hub, through two exterior walls and still stay connected.Pairing to my Hubitat was pretty simple. The first one didn’t work on the first try, so I moved onto the second and it paired immediately. Went back to the first one and it paired immediately too. I figured the first one hadn’t had time to find a signal yet.I am now considering trying more Zooz products now.

I gave 4 stars because although I think the product is of quality (and it is regarded a such in the HA community) , I could not install it as my wiring is not compatible with it.rule of thumb for this product:->If the power comes to the switch box before getting to the fixture, then install this switch.->if the power comes to the fixture and is then sent to 2 3-way switches, then this product *will not fit*.This switch *requires 4 wires at the box*, which was not my case. So I had to return it (thanks for easy returns!) and order an other product that should support 3 wires switch boxes.My appreciation is that the description is not clear enough (hence 4 stars), and unless you open your boxes and compare with the well redacted documentation before ordering, you might end up with a non compatible product.So buyers beware!
