How to Add Your ZAC36 Valve Actuator to SmartThings
Including the ZAC36 to your SmartThings is an easy process with just a few steps! The Titan will fit on valves up to 1.25". Is your pipe larger? Reach out to us about an extension kit for the ZAC36 to accommodate larger pipes/valves.
The ZAC36 will display as a Fortrezz Valve out of the box, so the custom lua Edge driver is needed to access advanced settings: follow the instructions here to install the Edge driver.
