BEFORE YOU INSTALL
This switch is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform this installation.
WIRING: READ IT!
- CHECK THE LOAD: lights only (100W for LED’s, 300W for incandescent), DON’T CONNECT THIS SWITCH TO OUTLETS OR TUBE LIGHTS.
- POWER OFF: turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start. If installing in a multi-switch box with multiple circuits, turn power off at all of the circuits.
- CHECK THE WIRES: mark load (most often black), line (most often black), neutral (most often white), and ground (most often bare). 14 AWG wires only! Don’t rely exclusively on your multimeter to identify the wires!
- NOT SURE WHAT YOU’RE SEEING? WE’LL HELP! SUPPORT.GETZOOZ.COM SEND US PICTURES OF YOUR SET-UP, BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT WIRES.
- REMOVE THE OLD SWITCH: disconnect the wires and label them with the included label stickers.
- CONNECT THE 2-WAVE SWITCH: follow all installation steps carefully. Wire the switch EXACTLY like in the diagram.
ZEN77 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION
- Insert the ground (bare) wire into the Ground terminal (not shown in the diagram)
- Insert the power source wire to Line terminal and load wire to Load terminal. Load and line CAN’T be swapped so make sure you identified them correctly!
HOW TO INSTALL THE WIRES
- UNSCREW: carefully turn the screw counter clockwise to make space for the wire. DO NOT unscrew completely.
- PRESS DOWN: once it’s loose, press the screw down with your finger so it catches the thread.
- INSERT WIRE: make sure the wire is perfectly straight, then insert it into the terminal while holding the screw down. DO NOT wrap wires around the terminal screws!
- TIGHTEN: turn the screw clockwise to tighten the wire. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
COMPLETE INSTALLATION
- Secure your Z-Wave switch in the box with mounting screws, handling the wires with care.
- Install the wall plate and restore power to the circuit.
TEST THE SWITCH
The LED indicator should light up as soon as you turn the power back on if the switch (light) is OFF. Tap the upper paddle for ON and lower paddle for OFF. If the test fails, please check that:
- power is fully restored to the circuit
- wiring matches the instructions exactly
- the load isn’t too large and overheating the switch causing it to shut off

TROUBLESHOOTING
The switch won’t add to your system?
Try this:
- Initiate EXCLUSION and tap the lower paddle 3 times quickly.
- Tap the upper paddle 4-5 times quickly when adding it.
- Bring the gateway controller (hub) closer to the switch, it may be out of range.
- Get troubleshooting tips for your hub at www.support.getzooz.com
The switch won’t control the lights manually anymore?
Try this:
- Turn the power off at the breaker and check if a wire didn’t get loose.
- Exclude the switch from the hub or reset it in case manual control was accidentally disabled.
- The load may be incompatible so try it with a single incandescent bulb.
EXCLUSION (REMOVING / UNPAIRING DEVICE)
- Bring your Z-Wave gateway (hub) close to the switch if possible
- Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com)
- Tap the lower paddle on the switch 3 times quickly (the LED indicator will start blinking blue)
- Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the switch will turn green for 3 seconds, and the device will disappear from your controller’s device list
FACTORY RESET
If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings. To reset the switch, press and hold the lower paddle for 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking. Release paddle, and immediately after, tap the lower paddle 5 times to complete the reset. The LED indicator will flash blue 3 times and turn red for 3 seconds to confirm a successful reset.
NOTE: All previously recorded activity and custom settings will be erased from the device’s memory.

ZEN77 WIRING DIAGRAMS
ZEN77 WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THE MOST COMMON 3-WAY INSTALLATIONS
STOP!
- Wire and screw position, as well as color codes are for illustration only. You should not follow the colors and positioning in the illustration blindly.
- Always identify all wires prior to installing Zooz switches and make sure you can match the diagrams to your set-up exactly. Don’t experiment or attempt a “trial-and-error” installation for your own safety.
NOTE!
- If you are not comfortable identifying the wiring and completing the installation, please consult a licensed electrician.
- Make sure you have identified all wiring correctly before connecting the switch. If your wiring doesn’t match any of the below diagrams, contact our support: ask@getzooz.com
ON/OFF SWITCHES ONLY
- Do not connect Zooz Z-Wave switches to an existing 3-way dimmer, illuminated switch, or an electronic add-on switch. Zooz switches can only be wired with mechanical on/off switches in a 3- way or 4-way setting!
- To simplify the diagrams, we did not include connections for the ground wire. Remember that all Zooz switches need to be wired according to the electrical code, with ground wire connected to the ground terminal.
- Always install your Zooz S2 switch in the box with direct connection to power line.
- Diagrams and instructions in this manual are for ZEN76 and ZEN77 models ONLY!
ZEN77 WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE MOST COMMON 4-WAY INSTALLATION
NEED HELP?
If you’re having trouble reading the diagrams or don’t see your wiring set-up here, get in touch! We have more 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way diagrams and instructions. There are many ways to wire multi-point control set-ups so unless you can match your wiring to the diagrams here, please don’t attempt the installation for your own safety.
RANGE TEST TOOL
You can now easily check if the switch is within your Z-Wave hub’s range:
- Press and hold the lower paddle for 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking. Release the paddle and within 2 seconds, tap the lower paddle 2 times quickly. The LED indicator will then report signal strength.
- Solid green = direct communication with the primary controller is stable
- Flashing green = direct communication with the primary controller is established but signal is weak
- Solid blue = stable communication with hub via repeaters
- Flashing blue = communication with the primary controller is established via repeaters but signal is weak
- Solid red = communication with the primary controller has failed
- Tap the lower paddle to exit testing mode.
NOTE: This function may only be activated once the switch has been included to a Z-Wave network.
MORE COLOR?
- The white paddles on the ZEN77 dimmer can be replaced for a different color!
- Please get in touch with our support to check which colors are currently available and how to order replacement paddles.
- Zooz switches will match the shade of standard Leviton switches and wall plates available at any major retailer.
The Simple Direct 3-Way/4-Way implemented in this device is a unique Z-Wave multi-point control solution covered under U.S. Patent 10,219,353 B1.
