The Zooz Z-Wave Plus Power Switch ZEN15 is a smart switch that enables you to control and monitor heavy-duty 110V appliances in your home such as refrigerators, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and AC units, using Home Assistant. The switch is compatible with any certified Z-Wave gateway, but when used with Home Assistant, it offers advanced control options and energy monitoring features.
There is a lot to like about this switch. One of the standout features of this Z-wave switch is its built-in Z-Wave Plus signal repeater, which helps to improve the connectivity and reliability of your entire Z-Wave network, particularly if you have a large home with multiple Z-Wave devices. It also has a safety feature that can restore the on/off state following a power failure and send updates to the Z-Wave controller, which can be useful for controlling sensitive appliances such as a fireplace.
In my experience, the Zooz Z-Wave Plus Power Switch ZEN15 has proven to be reliable and useful for automating my washing machine and sump pumps, as well as monitoring energy consumption. As I have personally used the switch in my own smart home automation setup, I can confidently recommend this high-performing Z-Wave switch if you have the need to control heavy-duty appliances in your smart home.
