Once you've got your ZEN37 Wall Remote in its final location, you can add it to Home Assistant by following the simple steps below.
With the new ZWaveJS integration of Home Assistant, your smart home setup becomes more seamless, robust, and future-ready. We strongly recommend upgrading to this integration to ensure your Zooz devices are recognized and function correctly.
The latest Z-Wave JS UI now supports Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR), significantly extending the reach and reliability of your network. Even better, you now have the flexibility to use both traditional Z-Wave mesh and ZWLR devices on the same hub—giving you the best of both worlds. And with SmartStart QR code scanning now supported, device inclusion has never been quicker or easier.
When deciding which method to use, we recommend reading more about Z-Wave Long Range and how it differs from the Z-Wave mesh, as well as when to choose mesh vs ZWLR in the following two articles:
Z-Wave Long Range FAQ's
All About Z-Wave Long Range
Mesh or ZWLR is established at the time of inclusion; if you wish to change a currently included device from mesh to ZWLR or vice versa, this can only be done by excluding the device and re-including with the proper method.
Standard Mesh Inclusion
- In Home Assistant: open Configuration > Integrations > Z-Wave JS > Configure.
- Click on Add node.
- Click on Start Inclusion to initiate pairing. If you’re using an S2 hub, it will ask you to enter the DSK PIN or scan the QR code printed on the metal faceplate of the switch to complete SmartStart inclusion.
- While the system is in inclusion mode, click the top button 6 times quickly.
- The LED indicator will blink blue during the process and light up green once added successfully. It will light up red if failed.
- Home Assistant will confirm a successful inclusion.
Z-Wave Long Range Inclusion
The Z-Wave JS UI integration of Home Assistant now supports Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) and with the latest app update (minimum 2025.5), QR code scanning for SmartStart is now supported. You will need to ensure you are using a Z-Wave stick that supports ZWLR.
If you have previously activated the device or included it via the mesh and you now want to use SmartStart or to include the remote via Z-Wave Long Range, you will need to ensure you are running at least base firmware 2.10. Once confirmed, you can scan the QR code and press any button on the ZEN37. This will re-set the broadcasting interval clock to allow the remote to be included via SmartStart.
Ensure the device you want to include is NOT powered on at this time. SmartStart will only work if the device is not powered on until step 6.
1. From the menu, click Settings.
2. Choose Devices and Services.
3. From the devices page click Add Device.
4. Scan the QR Code from your ZWLR device.
5. Choose Direct Long Range.
6. Power on your device.
7. The device is now added with ZWLR.
Once the switch has been added to your hub, you'll be able to create rules for it, control it remotely, and customize it via the advanced settings.
