If you want to unlock the full multi-button scene control functionality of the Zooz ZEN34 Remote Switch inside SmartThings, you’ll want to install the correct custom Edge driver before pairing the device to your hub. Without the proper driver, SmartThings may not expose all available button actions and advanced scene control features. The good news is that Zooz provides excellent SmartThings Edge driver support, and the setup process is surprisingly easy.
Compatible Devices and Hubs
The SmartThings custom edge driver supports the Zooz Remote Switch ZEN34 and the Zooz Wall Remote ZEN37. Both of these devices feature Long Range Z-Wave support and are specified by Zooz to work with the following hubs:
Z-Box Hub,
SmartThings / Aeotec (with driver),
Homey Pro (with the free Zooz App in the Homey App Store),
HomeSeer,
Hubitat,
Home Assistant.
The Zooz ZEN34 Remote Switch and Zooz ZEN37 Wall Remote are both excellent wireless Z-Wave scene controllers for SmartThings, but they are designed for very different use cases. At a high level, the ZEN34 is designed to mimic a traditional wall switch with a simple two-paddle layout, while the ZEN37 is more of a dedicated multi-scene controller with four independently programmable buttons.
Why the ZEN34 Works So Well in SmartThings
The Zooz ZEN34 is unique because it looks and feels like a traditional paddle switch while remaining completely wireless. Benefits include:
No electrical wiring required Magnetic detachable remote design
Easy wall mounting• Excellent battery life
Compact form factor
Long Range Z-Wave support
Strong SmartThings automation compatibility
It’s an excellent solution for locations where adding physical wiring would otherwise require opening walls or running new electrical lines.
Why Install the Custom Edge Driver?
The default SmartThings pairing process may only expose limited button functionality. By installing the proper Zooz Edge driver, you can unlock advanced scene automation support including:
Single press actions
Double tap actions
Triple tap actions
Hold actions
Multiple lighting scenes and automations
Advanced SmartThings Routine integration
This makes the ZEN34 Remote Switch one of the most versatile wireless scene controllers available for SmartThings users.
