ZOOZ700 Series Z-Wave Plus On/Off Toggle Switch ZEN73, White | Direct 3-Way (No Add-On Switch Needed) | Z-Wave Hub Required

This is a great wall switch. I have installed several around the house - especially when there is a 3-way setup since I don't have to buy "add-on" switches like other brands.I just installed this unit so I'm commenting on the others that have been online for over 1 year. They have performed without any issues. The installation instructions are very clear and I can now install subsequent switches in a few minutes.

This was my first Z-Wave switch and I'm happy to report that Zooz did not disappoint. I don't like how adding one of these forces you to re-wire the other switches controlling the same lights/outlets, but once you resign yourself to doing twice as much work, it's not too bad.Just as a heads up, these paddle switches don't toggle between the top and bottom being flush with the face plate. They return to the default "halfway" or middle position after you press the button. Despite this, there is still a very satisfying mechanical "click" feeling when you press the button, just like a traditional paddle switch.Make sure you have a Z-Wave hub before getting this though. I use the Hubitat C8 Pro and it connects with the right drivers effortlessly, but Zooz is a good brand and is supported by a lot of other hubs.

I've always had good luck with Zooz products, and this is no exception. I wanted a smart light switch for my laundry room so I can just say "Hey smart speaker, turn off the laundry room lights" as I walk out with a basket full of laundry.Installing this was easy. You'll need to have a neutral line in the box which shouldn't be an issue unless you live in an older house. You'll need to take out your old light switch and connect the new one. The neutral will likely be a bundle of white wires capped in the back of the box. One thing to watch out for is getting the hot and load wires reversed. The builders of my place did which isn't a problem for a normal switch but with the smart switch it can cause issues. When I turned off the light it would just flash on and off. Reversing the two wires solved that problem.I haven't had any issues with being able to control it from my Zwave controller (HomeAssistant) or at the switch itself.

The media could not be loaded. Plusses:1. Can do 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way wiring using existing switches except for the one being replaced by the Zooz ZEN77 - no satellite switches necessary!!!2. easy to install, good documentation provided, more available online.3. Solid constructions.4. Lots of parameters for personalizing the configuration.5. Z-wave control works flawlessly. 6. Control from paddles allows on/off/fade-up/fade-down and double tap for (customizable) full brightness (see video).Minuses:1. Quality control. One of the units arrived dead on arrival. Amazon replaced it rapidly. One died 3 days after installation. Zooz said that they would replace it. Haven't seen the replacement yet. I bought a replacement on Amazon, because I was impatient.2. Important to choose the lights carefully. Zooz blamed the brand of LED lamps that I was using. Not only did they flicker but they destroyed the ZEN77! You should check their website for bulb recommendations. I replaced all of our lights and now everything works well. Dimmable LED lights are still evolving. You might have to try several brands to get good results.Summary:In short, I love the product, if you get a working ZEN77 and it works well with your lights, this product is unique in being able to handle n-way lighting with a single unit. Support was very helpful and responsive. I expect that the replacement unit will eventually arrive and when it does I have a place for it!TIP: I add and test all units close to the hub on a table close to my computer, where I can set the advanced parameters and test them before installing them in the wall. (see video.) It simplifies things enormously.

Works fantastic with home Assistant no issues. Paired instantly.

I highly recommend Zooz switches and dimmers. Everything about this switch makes you feel you have purchased a quality product. The packaging, the instructions, the flawless way it includes itself, web site, and customer service are all first rate. The feature that allows you to use a three way switch and wiring currently in place to turn the light on or off from another location saves you $20 for the GE accessory switch, and some time compared to the GE/Honeywell/ultra pro switches from Jasco. Note that you turn on and off, but cannot dim remotely with an old manual switch. There are also no fins you have to break off. Dimming works well with a truly dimmable LED, like FEIT.I’ve installed hundreds of home automation switches, and these are the best, but although I gave 5 stars to this switch compared to others, a couple of issues miss actual perfection. First, the paddle assembly appears to be about 1mm larger than other switches. If your house is 25+ years old and uses the thick, hard Leviton switch plates, you may need to buy new plates. Don’t force the switches into the plate. They will bind and will eventually not operate properly. Either file the old plate larger (a PITA) or drop a buck or two on a new plate (recommended). Many of the new plates are screwless, and it is a nice look you may want to include in your upgrade anyway. Regardless of the brand of switch, it seems I have a 50/50 chance of breaking the old, brittle multiple gang plates anyway trying to wrestle all the switches into place.Also, unlike the GE/Jasco, these switches do require that you know which wire is your line (hot) and which is the load (light), and they come with nice labels for the wires and excellent instructions. No big deal, and I think it is safer to know which wire is hot anyway.Finally, there is capacity. These are 300 watt dimmers rather than the 500 or 600 watt capacity on Jasco and some other HA technology. The Zooz switches are made for the 21st century. They use neutrals so that LED bulbs are welcome, take up less depth in the box and have no heat fins. They play well with LEDs (though beware that many “dimmable” LEDs are flickering junk, no matter the switch). At 300W, these dimmers will not handle a vanity mirror light with a large array of incandescent bulbs. If someone insists on keeping and dimming a power hungry dinosaur like that, don’t use the Zooz dimmer. This one is good for 5 60w bulbs, but some builders thought 6 or 8 would look luxurious.Enjoy!

Highly recommended.

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.

A good quality switch, seems very flexible. Product info could be better as its hard to tell difference between some of these zen series products. Still not sure whether I should have bought this model or the one higher up

Flexibility, and ease of installation-Nice wire connections-Compact sizeAlso has scene control (now I will need to learn how to set this up)A bit pricey, but you do not have to buy a second or a third smart device, for 3or4 way configurations. Standard 3way switches work.Seems to Function very well

Been installed for a few months now and worked flawlessly with Smartthings
