    HOW IT WORKS

    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. 

    INSTALLATION

    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.

    Works when you have Zwave connection issues

    My server running Home Assistant is in the basement connected to a USB extension cable. Although it's using an extension cable it still has connectivity issues with some of my Ring Keypads and devices in my garage. I purchased 2 of these because of the layout of my entire house just to be sure I have Zwave connectivity with any of my devices. After installing these my connectivity has improved tremendously and I'm glad I purchased them. Since I spent so much on Zwave devices spending a little extra on these was well worth it.

    Excellent Power-Loss Monitoring for Our Garage Freezer

    I connected this Zooz ZAC38 to the same power strip that supplies our garage freezer. It allows my smart-home system to detect when power is lost in the garage and, just as importantly, when power has been restored.

    Combined with Home Assistant, we receive notifications directly on our phones for either event. If the freezer loses power, we know immediately and can investigate the problem, restore power, or take whatever other action is necessary before the food begins to thaw. We also receive confirmation once power has returned, so there is no need to wonder whether the issue has been resolved.

    This provides tremendous peace of mind because we keep a significant amount of food in the freezer for our family, and replacing everything would be extremely costly if power were lost without us knowing. The ZAC38 has turned a simple electrical outlet into a reliable early-warning system while also strengthening our Z-Wave network.

    It was easy to add to my smart-home system and has worked exactly as intended. This is a small, affordable device that can potentially prevent a very expensive loss, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a garage, basement, or secondary freezer.

    Extends range, compact form

    Love this range extender, it's small and extends the range for all my Z-Wave devixes. Love that it's using the latest 800 series chipset.

    Good products, good support

    I already have a bunch of Zooz Z-Wave devices. I have always been pleased with them. The outdoor motion detector went beyond my expectations. I have been using indoor detectors with extra protect because the few old outdoor detectors were so large. This new one, is as small and unobtrusive as any detector that I’ve used. It was easy to setup and gives me everything I need, such as motion, temperature and luminosity values.
    On top of a good product, the Smartest House impressed me with their customer service. The USPS messed up the delivery, and when I emailed Smartest House, they responded quickly. A truly good company shows itself by how it responds to problems. Their quickness and concern showed me that this is a company to continue to do business with. I will be buying more from The Smartest House.
