NOTE: If you don't see your Z-Wave hub on the list above, please get in touch with your system's support team to verify if all Z-Wave extenders are supported.
The Zooz Z-Wave Plus Range Extender uses 800-series Z-Wave to expand your network to the farthest reaches of your property. With a range of up to 400 feet, use it to connect tough-to-reach spots to your Z-Wave hub, like outdoor sensors whose signals may be shortened by thick walls, glass, and metal elements.
Use it to give your smart door lock a boost if you’re having trouble keeping it online. Add it between your hub and devices in outside structures for more thorough monitoring and control. Or simply install it in an area with any far-away or older generation Z-Wave device to stabilize connectivity depending on the specific structure of your home and layout of your network.
Just plug it into a standard receptacle and add it to your Z-Wave hub for an instant power boost. And if you lose power, the device will send an alert to the hub thanks to its built-in back-up battery. As a 800 series device, it comes with the latest advancements to the Z-Wave protocol and includes S2 secure SmartStart technology to ensure your network remains secure.
Set up couldn’t be simpler. Choose the receptacle you’d like to use to power the Range Extender. Once plugged in, put your Z-Wave hub into inclusion mode. Refer to your hub’s instructions to initiate inclusion as every hub is different. Once you see the hub is looking for new devices, click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly. The LED indicator will
start flashing green to confirm inclusion mode and turn green for 2 seconds once inclusion is completed.
Once the device is included to your hub, no additional programming is needed. Regardless of how the device displays, it will begin repeating Z-Wave signals upon inclusion. We just recommend that you refresh your network so that the hub can find the most efficient path to each device with the Range Extender included. For the advanced functionality of power outage reporting, your hub needs to support the device's additional features. See the Works with section below for details.
Used to help reach the zooz outdoor motion sensor outside that turns on the driveway lights, does it's job well so far 👍
Best buy yet with The Smartest House
Have a primarily 500 series home with lots of switches, so I have a good mesh. Recently added some newer 700/800 series devices that joined and worked, but didn't work reliably 100% of the time, so I added the ZAC38 to help bridge the hub to the newer devices. So far so good. Little early to tell, but seems to have helped.
Looks like a nicely constructed piece and arrived very quickly.
I had a little trouble getting this device to pair with my Hubitat C-8 hub, I had to factory reset it a few times. But I did get it to work. It was interesting that after 2 factory resets it no longer asked me for the security code. But I'm not all that worried because where I live has a lack of tech in the area. Once I got it paired it was available and had created routes to many of my devices immediately. Have I noticed a huge difference? No, but then I have also been messing around with my network a bit. Overall I'm pleased with it, I did knock off one star because it was hard to pair, and then no longer asked about security. Hopefully it will just work going forward, and I won't need to pair it again.
I had some battery devices that weren't communicating well. This range extender solved the problem.
