Adding your ZEN20 Power Strip to Hubitat has never been easier since becoming officially integrated.
While the Power Strip is fully integrated with Hubitat, we're waiting for a few bugs seen with multi-channel devices and S2 security to still be resolved on the latest C-7 hub platform update. For now, if you're using the Hubitat C-7 hub, for now you'll want to select Include without security and add the ZEN20 without security to successfully add the device. If you have an older version of the Hubitat hub, you can simply follow the inclusion steps below as S2 security is only supported on the C-7 hub.
Use these steps to connect your Power Strip to your Hubitat hub in no time:
Smart Start Inclusion
On the Hubitat app:
- Open the Tools tab (wrench icon on the bottom)
- Scroll to the bottom, select Z-Wave
- This will take you to a screen where you can select either Smart Start or regular inclusion
- Select Smart Start
- This will take you to the smart start inclusion list. Devices will be displayed there that are in the process of inclusion through Smart Start.
- Select the QR symbol in the top right to open the camera for the DSK scan
- Power the device (important to do this AFTER QR scan)
- The device integration will begin. The window will appear asking you to name the device; click Save after naming
- Finishing inclusion may take a few minutes
If you have any issues with Smart Start Inclusion on Hubitat, please review this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf-Fldjb0to. The steps should be the same whether you have a C-7 or C-8.
Manual Inclusion
-
Plug the Power Strip into a grounded receptacle you’re planning to use it at (it doesn’t need to be close to the hub)
-
Open Hubitat in your Internet browser
-
Go to Devices
-
Click on + Add Device in the top right corner
-
Click on Z-Wave
-
Click on Start Z-Wave Inclusion
-
While the app says is in inclusion mode, on the Power Strip, press the CH1 button 3 times as quickly as possible
-
Rename and confirm the found device
If the ZEN20 Power Strip is having problems pairing with your hub, try to exclude it from your hub first. The process acts as a reset for the device and can help with any configuration issues. The advanced settings should also be available from the ZEN20’s device view. If they aren’t, check if your Hubitat platform version is up-to-date before using the Z-Wave parameter tool here.
We can help if your ZEN20 is having trouble pairing with your Hubitat network!
