NOTE: If you don't see your Z-Wave hub on the list above, please get in touch with your system's support team to verify if all Z-Wave extenders are supported.
The Zooz Z-Wave Plus Range Extender uses 800-series Z-Wave to expand your network to the farthest reaches of your property. With a range of up to 400 feet, use it to connect tough-to-reach spots to your Z-Wave hub, like outdoor sensors whose signals may be shortened by thick walls, glass, and metal elements.
Use it to give your smart door lock a boost if you’re having trouble keeping it online. Add it between your hub and devices in outside structures for more thorough monitoring and control. Or simply install it in an area with any far-away or older generation Z-Wave device to stabilize connectivity depending on the specific structure of your home and layout of your network.
Just plug it into a standard receptacle and add it to your Z-Wave hub for an instant power boost. And if you lose power, the device will send an alert to the hub thanks to its built-in back-up battery. As a 800 series device, it comes with the latest advancements to the Z-Wave protocol and includes S2 secure SmartStart technology to ensure your network remains secure.
Set up couldn’t be simpler. Choose the receptacle you’d like to use to power the Range Extender. Once plugged in, put your Z-Wave hub into inclusion mode. Refer to your hub’s instructions to initiate inclusion as every hub is different. Once you see the hub is looking for new devices, click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly. The LED indicator will
start flashing green to confirm inclusion mode and turn green for 2 seconds once inclusion is completed.
Once the device is included to your hub, no additional programming is needed. Regardless of how the device displays, it will begin repeating Z-Wave signals upon inclusion. We just recommend that you refresh your network so that the hub can find the most efficient path to each device with the Range Extender included. For the advanced functionality of power outage reporting, your hub needs to support the device's additional features. See the Works with section below for details.
We are using this on a Control4 system to extend Z-wave range to a door lock. So far, it's looking good
We have a lot of electrical storms and older equipment feeding our neighborhood. Surges and brownouts are pretty common and it isn't unusual for a few circuit breakers to pop. My hub and internet router are on UPS, but the two refrigerators can't be. More than once I've come home to find a refrigerator that has been off for more than 8 hours. I've installed smart plugs near the fridge, but I can't be checking on them all day when at work, so a device that can sends an alert when power to the fridge goes out is exactly what I needed.
I use the ZAC38 to monitor power to a swimming pool pump. By code (NEC) pool pumps must be on a GFCI protected circuit. GFCIs are also prone to false and nuisance tripping. Now my hub alerts me if the GFCI trips so the pool pump is not out for extended periods.
I needed to boost my zwave network to reach from the basement to the back of my garage, prior to this the door lock would drop off the network. Plugged this in at a midpoint and the garage backdoor lock is rock solid stable now.
I had some sensor in the basement that would occasionally drop off net, particularly one inside the furnace. Adding the range extender was super easy and with it plugged in in the basement I now longer have the sensors dropping out. This is very important as I monitor basement conditions because we don’t have access to the basement from inside the house.
