This product is available in different Z-Wave frequencies so please make sure you choose the correct region before checking out. You need to select the same frequency / region as your hub when buying Z-Wave devices for them to include to your system. If you're not sure which frequency your hub operates on, please contact your solution provider first. Here is what each option stands for:

NOTE: If you don't see your Z-Wave controller on the list above, please contact us before you purchase this product.
Follow the appropriate diagram to wire the Universal Relay according to your application. If you don't see a diagram describing your set-up, please contact us to request help with the installation. Remember to always turn power off at the breaker before handling the wires. Never apply any voltage to the Sw input terminals!
Once you've completed the wiring, power the Universal Relay up with a USB C and a standard power adapter (sold separately) or a direct connection to 12 / 24 V power source.
Now add the Universal Relay to your hub: initiate inclusion (pairing mode) and click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly. The LED indicator will blink to indicate communication and stay on for 2 seconds to confirm inclusion.
You’ll most likely see 3 new on/off devices in your app:
2 channels for on/off control of each relay
1 master node to control all relays at the same time and to access and adjust advanced settings in (if your hub supports parameter input)
Overall, this device works well and is great option for garage door control. I have mine wired up where I am using the two output relays via the NO contacts to trigger my garage door opener and the light on the door opener. The two inputs are used to sense the status open/close of the garage door and a man-door at the rear of my garage using a couple of NC reed switches. I used smart-start to include this device in my network. There are many configuration options for this device and it took a while to fully read through and understand what each option needed to be set to.
I eventually configured everything as I needed for my scenario and everything seemed to be working perfectly. However, after a power outage (that I simulated) the two inputs would freeze with their last status. I would then try to re-interview the device, and the input entities completely disappeared. It would only recover after doing a complete exclusion and re-inclusion of the device. A factory reset didn't change this behavior. I found that if I used the manual inclusion method (not smart-start), regardless of if I chose to use Z-wave or Z-wave LR, that seemed to solve all my issues. I am running firmware 2.20. I can't say for sure if this is a problem with the device, Home Assistant, or my hub (I am using a ZST 39LR USB). Either way, the Zen17 seems to be working properly now as long as I include it in my network in that way. No significant complaints after my initial struggle.
On the hardware side of things, if I could make one improvement, it would be to move the screws for the terminals on the opposite side. Since I mounted my Zen17 to a wall, I had to remove it every time I wanted to make a change to the wiring. It was a bit of an inconvenience to have to wire everything before I mounted it to the wall.
Seriously, if you put a USB connector on a device, it should work properly with any normal USB cable plugged into it. If the device has specific power needs that require a specific charger that's not USB then *it should not use a USB jack*.
Frankly this is just unacceptable.
Assuming you power it correctly, it works pretty well :)
I have two of these - one 700 series and one 800 series - and both work flawlessly. One is hooked up to my garage door opener so that I can open and close it remotely. I also connected a wired door sensor (to the same unit) so I can know when the garage door is fully closed.
The other ZEN17 is hooked up to my HVAC zone board so I can monitor whether my AC/heating is on stage 1 or stage 2. It's a small thing, but useful to me.
My only gripe is that when certain settings are changed, the device has to be excluded/re-included for new sensors to show up. This might be a limitation of Z-Wave somehow for all I know... and since these are long-term installations, I only had to do the exclude/include process once on each one. Not a big deal, just a small hassle.
Overall, I highly recommend these.
My 4th Zen17 LR unit!
I've fallen for these amazing little relay boxes. All my low voltage outdoor equipment runs through these, and having smart automation of my lights via the ZEN17 is outstanding.
While I loved the original, the 800LR series is the way to go. These work well with the extra distance and I haven't had a missed "on/off" event since swapping these in. Highly recommend
Easy to set up, versitile in use cases. I've got 2 zones covering my back porch and stairs, colored lights at the back of the property, and 3 landscape light zones that make smart sense.
I use my Zen17 to control the fresh air duct control on my HVAC. It works great. I monitor air quality inside my home and when it is less than ideal I turn on my bathroom exhaust fans and open up my fresh air duct using the 17. This pulls in fresh air in to improve air quality within my home.
