How to Program Your ZEN32 Scene Controller on Z-Box Hub

With so many options available, let's get to programming the ZEN32 Scene Controller! From scene control (multi-tap) to direct association, programming the ZEN32 Scene Controller on the Z-Box Hub is simple and intuitive.

To program the multi-tap functions on the ZEN32, you can follow the standard block scene creation flow, or you can even program the scene straight from the ZEN32 Scene Controller device menu for a simplified and faster approach.

Direct association is another way to program the ZEN32, which allows you to bypass the hub and have the ZEN31 send direct messages to another Z-Wave device. Please remember to ensure that the devices you are associating are included to the Z-Box with the exact same level of security.

With either programming option, you'll need to ensure that you're logged in to the WEB UI with a local connection (the same Wi-Fi network as your Z-Box Hub)

To Program Central Scene from the ZEN32 Scene Controller Device Menu:

The Zooz ZEN32 is a Z-Wave scene controller with 5 physical buttons, all capable of triggering Central Scene commands. This means every button can be used to trigger hub-based automations based on how it’s pressed — no need for direct device associations (unless you want them). Each button on the ZEN32 sends a Scene Number, and different press types (tap, hold, release, etc.) are distinguished by Key Attributes.

Scene Numbers and Button Mapping

Here's how the ZEN32 buttons are mapped to Central Scene scene numbers:

Button	Scene Number	Description
Switch Button	`5`	The large center button
Button 1	`1`	Small button, top left
Button 2	`2`	Small button, top right
Button 3	`3`	Small button, bottom left
Button 4	`4`	Small button, bottom right
ZAC99 (if used in 3-way)	`6`	Reports separately when used

Each button supports 7 key attributes (aka action types):

Key Attribute	Action Type
0	Key Pressed Once
1	Key Released
2	Key Held Down
3	Key Pressed 2x
4	Key Pressed 3x
5	Key Pressed 4x
6	Key Pressed 5x

So for example:

Pressing Button 1 once = Scene 1, Key Attribute 0
Holding Switch Button = Scene 5, Key Attribute 2
Double tapping Button 3 = Scene 3, Key Attribute 3

ZEN32 + ZAC99 Momentary in 3-Way Setup

If you're wiring a ZAC99 momentary switch to the ZEN32 to control it from another location (e.g. a 3-way circuit), the ZAC99 will trigger Scene 6 with the same key attributes:

Device	Scene Number
ZAC99	`6`

This allows the hub to recognize the input from the remote switch and automate accordingly.

For example:

Tapping ZAC99 once = Scene 6, Key Attribute 0
Holding ZAC99 = Scene 6, Key Attribute 2

This gives you full automation capability from both the ZEN32 and the auxiliary switch location.

Summary

The ZEN32 uses scene numbers 1–5 for its built-in buttons.
Each button supports 7 types of press actions via key attributes.
If a ZAC99 momentary switch is wired for remote control, it reports as Scene 6.
Your hub can create distinct automations for each combo of button and press type.

Central Scene Programming

1. If not on the Home Menu already, from the sidebar navigation menu of the Z-Box web interface, click on the house icon > hover over the device icon for which you want to create a scene, then click on the setting gear icon.

2. Click on the Advanced tab.

3. From the Button configuration menu, you can configure actions on the device button by creating dedicated scenes according to your needs.

4. For the below example, we will use the ZEN32 Scene Controller, for which you can create up to 35 different actions across all buttons.

5. To add an action click on Add Action next to the trigger of your choice.

6. You will be redirected to the New Block Scene general scene settings menu. Provide all required information and click Save to proceed.

7. The trigger will be set as per your selection. If required, you can change the button and trigger selection.

8. To assign an action, drag one of the tiles to the ‘Do the following’ section. Once you are done specifying the action, click Save.

To Set Up Direct Association from the ZEN32 Scene Controller Device Menu:

2. Click on the Associations tab.

3. Choose your group for the associated device (Group 2 is for On/Off, Group 3 is Multilevel/Dimming).

4. Select your target device and click the + symbol. Once done, hit Save.
