Inclusion is fast and easy with the Z-Box! The ZSE50 Siren & Chime will be recognized and configured correctly on the Z-Box, no special handlers or drivers needed. You can add a new device via the web interface, or the mobile app. Check out the simple inclusion instructions below!
If you're running Z-Box firmware release 5.172.18 or higher, you have the option to include your Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) supporting devices via the new Long Range protocol. Adding via ZWLR can be done both via the Web UI and the app; however, scanning is much easier via the app so that is the process we recommend for ZWLR or SmartStart inclusion.

ZSE50 Inclusion Troubleshooting Steps
If your siren is not found on the Z-Box Hub, you may need to reset it first. We recommend performing the reset using your hub and the exclusion option (it works even if the device has never been added to your hub before):
- Open your Z-Box web interface in the Internet browser and select Settings (the gear icon) from the sidebar navigation menu. A list of your existing devices will appear.
- Click the red - Remove device button in the top right corner.
- Select Z-Wave Device in the next screen.
- Make sure you can physically access your ZSE50 and click Start on the screen.
- Tap the “-” button 3 times quickly. The LED indicator will start blinking green, and the following message will play once: "Removing device."
- If exclusion is successful the LED indicator on the siren will turn green for 2 seconds, and play the following message: "Device removed.
Please let us know if you have any issues and we'll be glad to help!
