Before installing, make sure the load does not exceed 960W for incandescent lights, 150W for CFL's and LED's, or 1800W (15A) for resistive load. Check your wiring first to confirm that you have all the following wires present in your gang box: load (most often black), line (most often black), neutral (most often white), and ground (most often green).
If you are not comfortable identifying the wiring and following the instructions, please hire a licensed electrician.

How to include the Scene Controller switch to your smart home network?
1. Bring your Z-Wave gateway hub or controller as close to the switch as possible
2. Put your Z-Wave controller in inclusion/pairing mode
3. Tap the upper paddle of the switch 3 times quickly to finalize the inclusion process
4. A new on/off switch should appear on your controller's device list
NOTE: Use a dedicated diagram from the manual to wire the switch in a 3-way setting with a regular electrical switch if you are looking to control one light with 2 or 3 switches.
Just got 4 zen32 controllers to replace some hue in wall smart switches and to control some smart bulbs in two three way locations.
I'm primarily running homeassistant, with a ton of things under control4.
first the cons because its a short list:
1. these things seem to have been designed before the prevalence of smart bulbs so they include relays, traveller connections, etc -- this may also be a positive depending on your situation
2. the use case of two of these devices, in a virtual 3way controlling smart bulbs isn't well covered in the documentation
3. they're big -- much bigger than control4, insteon, etc -- so if your box is already jammed up, they could be a challenge
Having said that, they installed relatively easily, setting up in virtual 3 way wasn't that bad -- essentially i setup helper switches/bools had each button state watch that for their on/off LED state -- that made it easy to keep them in sync.
WAF has been high -- over 100% if that's possible -- this made it easy for me to put into place physical controls for a bunch of light strips, etc that only had controls through voice commands or an app otherwise.
Overall i would (and already have) recommend these -- zwave has been pretty solid for me and these switches really augment the network by looking and feeling good.
This is one of my hardwired scene controller type switches I use to control multiple lighting and phone chargers using delays to prevent overcharging
The Zen32 is an amazing scene controller with lots of customization options. The number of buttons and the layout let you control anything you want it to. Having the ability to show different colors on each of the buttons' LEDs is also great way to add more functionality to your automations.
Despite 5 stars, don't buy this if you're expecting an easy plug-and-play experience. It takes setup. This is the ideal switch for needing to trigger multiple smart light scenes. Features that drew me in
-Z-wave (I love the low power use, it doesn't interfere with heavy WiFi usage, and it's speed is terrific)
-Sleek look, intuitive use
-Customized LED (on EACH button, can be triggered by anything)
-Home Assistant integration (a perfect pairing)
As with most smart switches, the installation experience may feel cramped, and can get extremely difficult when in 2-gang spots. This is most ideally places in a 1-gang receptacle (but not impossible otherwise)
I bought several of these to replace switches that were being used to control switched outlets for lamps. I rewired The junction boxes so that instead the switch next to them controlled the outlets and these switches controlled the ceiling lights.
Pairing them to home assistant was incredibly intuitive, honestly the hardest part was setting up Z-Wave JS UI, but it's such a worthwhile add-on to pair with the native integration. Figuring out how to use the the buttons was a little tricky at first but once I found a blueprint that exposed all of the functions as buttons then it was smooth sailing to create automations and everything else.
My one complaint is that button 5 / the primary relay is a little soft. I often find that heavy-handed people in my house will sometimes jab the bottom corners of it and get the button stuck down, it won't actually trigger constantly it just looks odd. It definitely doesn't have the build quality of a lutron switch, but it also doesn't cost three times the price so it's definitely worthwhile.
