No custom handlers or drivers needed, inclusion is fast and easy with the Z-Box! The ZEN78 High Power Relay will be recognized and configured correctly on the Z-Box out of the box. Ensure the device is properly installed and powered, then follow the steps below to add the device to your Z-Box hub. You can add a new device via the web interface, or the mobile app. Check out the simple inclusion instructions below!
Important Note: The device has an internal relay, which can turn on and off with a click of the Z-Wave button. This means that when you are attempting to include or exclude the device, the clicks need to happen as fast as possible; if the clicks are not completed fast enough, the relay will engage instead and the device will not enter inclusion or exclusion mode. You will know you have clicked fast enough when the LED indicator begins flashing red rapidly.
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.

ZEN78 Inclusion Troubleshooting Steps
If your relay 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).
Exclusion Steps
- 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 ZEN78 relay and click Start on the screen.
- Click the Z-Wave button on the relay 3 times as quickly as possible. The LED indicator will start blinking rapidly and the Z-Box Hub will display a "Device removed" message.
If the LED indicator on the relay isn't blinking, make sure that the device turns on the light from a single click on the Z-Wave button or a toggle from the connected switch. If it works well physically, try a factory reset and then follow the inclusion steps above.
Factory Reset
- Ensure the unit is powered (the LED indicator will be a slow pulsing red when the device is powered and not included)
- Click the Z-Wave button once and immediately after, press and hold the button for 20 seconds. The LED indicator will flash red for 20 seconds and turn solid red for 2 seconds to indicate successful reset.
You should now be able to include the relay to Z-Box.
