Zooz ZEN76 800LR On/Off Switch

Quick verdict

The ZEN76 is Zooz's current-gen on/off paddle switch with the 800 series chip. Reliable, local, no cloud. Use it for loads that do not need dimming. If you are building out a Z-Wave network, the improved range from the 800 series chip is a nice bonus.

Standout: Z-Wave 800 series on/off paddle switch with Long Range support and multi-tap scene control.

Best for

• loads that should not be dimmed, like exhaust fans, closet lights, and garbage disposals

Privacy and local-control notes

Fully local Z-Wave device. No cloud account, no data leaving your network. The current model is the ZEN76 800LR, so Z-Wave Long Range is available when your controller supports it.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: Z-Wave JS.

Buying reality check

Price notes: Priced in line with other Zooz switches. The 800 series upgrade over the older ZEN26 is worth it for the range improvement alone.
