Z-Wave Control for Your Infrared Devices

The Remotec ZXT-800 bridges your Z-Wave smart home and the infrared remote controls you already use. It translates Z-Wave commands into IR signals, so a split air conditioner, TV, soundbar or amplifier can be switched and adjusted from your Z-Wave controller, voice assistant or automations. It is the successor to the popular ZXT-600, now with Z-Wave Plus v2, SmartStart inclusion, Bluetooth set-up and over-the-air firmware updates.

Smart Air Conditioning Control

For air conditioning, the ZXT-800 appears on your controller as a Z-Wave thermostat. Set the target temperature and choose Off, Heat, Cool, Auto, Fan only or Dry mode, depending on what your AC unit supports. A built-in IR code library covers air conditioners from manufacturers worldwide, and if a model isn't listed you can teach the ZXT-800 the commands directly from the original remote using IR learning.

TV and AV Control via the Conexum App

Alongside one air conditioner, the ZXT-800 can store codes for up to three AV devices, such as a TV, set-top box and amplifier. Codes are downloaded from Remotec's cloud IR library using the free Conexum ZXT-800 app for iOS and Android, which connects over Bluetooth. Smart and learning search modes find the right codes quickly, covering power, volume, channel and menu navigation keys.

Built-in Temperature and Humidity Sensors

Built-in temperature and humidity sensors make the ZXT-800 a useful room sensor as well as a controller. Temperature is measured from 0 to 40°C at 0.5°C resolution and can be calibrated, with reports sent on change or at set intervals. Use the readings in automations, for example to switch the air conditioning to cooling when a bedroom gets too warm, or to dry mode when humidity rises.

USB or Battery Powered

Power the ZXT-800 from any 5V 1A USB supply for always-listening operation, where it also acts as a Z-Wave repeater to strengthen your mesh. Alternatively, run it on three AAA batteries for a cable-free installation in battery-saving mode. Wall-mount it around 1.5 metres above the floor with a clear line of sight to your equipment, or use the external IR emitter socket for equipment hidden in a cabinet.

Compatibility and What's in the Box

The ZXT-800 is a security-enabled Z-Wave Plus v2 device on the European 868.4 MHz frequency, with a range of up to 150 metres in open air. Use it with a security-enabled Z-Wave Plus controller that supports thermostat devices, such as Home Assistant. In the box: one ZXT-800 and a user guide. A USB power supply and batteries are not included. It measures 90 × 70 × 25.5 mm and weighs 70 g.
