Once you've wired up your Double Switch and confirmed that it works 100% from both the dimmer and relay, it's time to add it to your Home Assistant network:
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, Tap the UPPER paddle on the dimmer 3 times as quickly as possible (LED indicator will start flashing).
- 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 along with a ZWLR supporting version of the ZEN30 (minimum hardware/firmware 4.0/4.10)
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 Double 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.
Zooz products are now officially integrated with the new ZWaveJS integration of Home Assistant. If you're experiencing issues with accessing the advanced settings of your ZEN30 we would recommend first updating to the JS integration then excluding and re-including your device to your network in order for it to be recognized correctly.
