ZEN56 Frequently Asked Questions
NOTE: If you don't see your Z-Wave controller on the list above, please contact us before you purchase this product.
Whether you’re throwing a party or relaxing after a long day of work, the Zooz RGBW Dimmer has the mood for you. Use this dimmer with your existing RGBW LED strips or low-voltage DC lights (this module can only be used with 12-24V DC strips and fixtures). It works great with any 4-channel LED strip but you can also opt for single-color LED strips or DC under-cabinet lighting.
Create custom lighting rules through your Z-Wave hub to create a soothing and hassle-free ambience in your home. As soon you as you open the front door in the evening, trigger the living room lights on to a warm white. Make game nights more fun with a colorful custom glow. Or use preset lighting programs like fireplace, polar lights, rainbow and more for shortcuts to creative lighting.
This module is enabled with the latest Z-Wave upgrades like the 800 series chip, S2 security and SmartStart for easy inclusion. If you're using a ZWLR enabled hub, you'll get all of the benefits of Z-Wave Long Range, including ultra reliable direct connection between the device and the hub as well as incredible wireless coverage.
You'll need a 12-24 V DC power supply to power your LED strip and the Zooz RGBW Dimmer. Follow the diagram to connect the device to the power supply, your LED strip, and a wall switch (if needed) using a flat screwdriver and 16 AWG jumper wires.
Include your RGBW Dimmer using the SmartStart feature if your hub supports it by simply scanning the QR code located on the product and inputting the SDK code to confirm inclusion.
To manually include the product, put your hub into inclusion mode and click the Z-Wave button on the RGBW Dimmer 3 times quickly to finalize the process.
Quick replacement of my ZEN31 to upgrade to the latest 800LR. The wires are already included which makes it convenient
I had been waiting for this Z-Wave RGBW dimmer to be released for a while and it was well worth the wait. It’s exactly what I was wanting. The instructions are clear. The wires are good quality and makes it easy to wire up. The wires are also stripped to the perfect length for Wago style connectors, no additional stripping required! I was able to link it to Home Assistant very quickly like all of my other Zooz devices. I’m already planning to buy another one for some additional strip lighting ideas
I got two of these Z-Wave RGBW dimmers ("ZEN56 800LR") and two of the separate Zooz 12VDC power supplies. They seem to work pretty well! I was not really sure what specific LED strips to use. I bought two random LED strips from "BTF Lighting" on Amazon, that were 5-meters each (16.4ft) and listed as "60LED/m Multi-Colored IP65 White 12mm PCB". I put one strip on the top of my kitchen cabinets, and another strip as under-cabinet lighting. For whatever reason, the adhesive strips on the back of the LED strips smelled really bad at first.
Anyways, after finding wire strippers and lots of struggling with wire nuts, I finally got the LED strips working with Home-Assistant via Z-Wave-JS. Wiring the device was definitely a little difficult since electrical stuff is definitely not my expertise, but thankfully it is low-voltage.
One odd thing is that if I set the brightness to more than 50-60% in Home-Assistant on either of the ZEN56 controllers, via Z-Wave, the strip will start to blink occasionally. The whole strip will just blink on and off entirely at once every few seconds. It does not have this problem at all otherwise when I set them on lower than approximately ~60% brightness, even if I leave them on for hours and hours. I cannot really say if this is a problem with the cheap LED strips (probably the case), the ZEN56 itself (seems unlikely), or something else entirely.
I was also able to use Z-Wave parameter #17 to activate a few fun pre-programmed "color animation presets" or scenes, listed at: https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/2132-zen56-rgbw-dimmer-advanced-settings/ : Values: 0 – Color Animation Presets Disabled; 1 – Fireplace; 2 – Storm; 3 – Rainbow; 4 – Polar Lights; 5 – Police (Strobing Red, White, Blue). Default: 0.
Works well with the standard Zooz RGBW Dimmer driver, but I could not get it to work with the Zen56 driver because it doesn't separate the white led control from the RGB control.
Needed to replace an older unit from another manufacturer. Perfect drop in replacement and as always high Zooz quality and easy integration
