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.
I bought this on a recommendation from others in the Hubitat community forum.
With the custom drivers written there and clear instructions, this was unboxed and in operation in less than 5 minutes! My hub, routers and other critical electronics are on UPS backup. What I was missing was some way for me to be notified if the Power goes out. There is a lot of construction around where I live, and to top it off, the community through where our main power lines are, are all above ground cables on utility poles. One strong gust of wind, thunderstorms, snowstorm, and out goes the power!
With this extender (which has a built-in battery backup), I get alerts when the power went out and when it is back. If I need to shut down my electronics, I can execute scripts to gracefully shut them down and not risk messing up my setup!
Thanks Zooz
Like everything I've gotten so far from Zooz, this is a quality product. Installation was simple, and following instructions on the website to connect it to my Hubitat was easy and quick. I have the rule set up to alert me of when the device loses mains power, and testing was a great success with instantaneous results. Extremely happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend them just for this alone. In terms of being a repeater, so far I have all my devices in long range mode but I might try the mesh at some point and see how that goes. I'm sure it works really well though and I look forward to many years of service!
Works well to extend the zwave mesh to our upstairs.
I've been waiting for something like this. Because it's a Zooz product, it works great.
Easy to use. Keep in mind it might block the other receptacle in a duplex outlet if the other plug has a ground pin.
