We're delighted to announce the arrival of seven impressive new Zooz products to our Z-Wave collection here at Vesternet. This latest batch showcases Zooz's expertise in creating practical, reliable smart home solutions that solve real-world problems. What makes this collection particularly exciting is the focus on advanced Z-Wave technology, including the latest 800 Series chips and Long Range capabilities, ensuring your smart home network is both powerful and future-proof.
Enhanced Motion Detection and Sensing
Starting with outdoor security, the new Outdoor Motion Sensor brings comprehensive monitoring to your property's perimeter. This isn't just about detecting movement – it also monitors brightness and temperature, giving you a complete picture of outdoor conditions. The weather-resistant design means it can handle whatever the British weather throws at it, while the flexible power options let you choose between battery operation for easy installation or low-voltage supply for permanent setups.
For indoor applications, the Q Sensor is a versatile multi-function device that combines motion detection with temperature and humidity monitoring. What's particularly clever is how it can function as a Z-Wave repeater when powered via USB, strengthening your network while providing valuable environmental data. The adjustable sensitivity settings mean you can fine-tune it for different room sizes and usage patterns, ensuring reliable detection without false alarms.
Intuitive Control Solutions
The Wall Remote represents a refreshingly simple approach to smart home control. Sometimes you don't want to fumble with apps or remember voice commands – you just want to press a button and have things happen. This device can control up to 28 different scenes or actions using multi-tap triggers, so a single button can do multiple jobs depending on how you press it. The rechargeable battery and magnetic base mean you can position it anywhere that's convenient, not just where the wiring allows.
What's particularly impressive is the Z-Wave 800 Series chip inside, which provides extended range and faster communication. This means more reliable control even from distant parts of your home, and quicker response times when you need immediate action.
Professional Lighting and Power Control
For commercial and high-end residential installations, the 0-10V Dimmer solves a specific but important problem. Many professional LED installations use 0-10V dimming, which until now has been difficult to integrate with Z-Wave systems. This device sits between your LED driver and wall switch, providing smooth dimming control while maintaining compatibility with existing wiring. The built-in relay can completely cut power to LED drivers that don't fully turn off when dimmed to zero – a common issue with 1-10V systems.
The Dry Contact Relay is one of those devices that opens up possibilities you might not have considered. Beyond controlling standard 120V lighting, it can interface with dry contact systems, monitoring devices, or any low-voltage switching application. The Smart Bulb Mode is particularly useful – it keeps smart bulbs powered while still allowing Z-Wave scene control, so you get the best of both worlds.
The Double Relay takes this concept further by controlling two independent 120V loads from a single compact device. This is perfect for situations like bathroom fan and light combinations, or anywhere you need separate control of two circuits. The fact that it doesn't require a neutral wire makes it much easier to retrofit into existing installations, and the 700 Series Z-Wave with Long Range support ensures reliable communication even in challenging RF environments.
Network Infrastructure
Supporting all these devices is the 800 Series Range Extender, which addresses one of the most common smart home challenges – signal coverage. This isn't just about distance; it's about signal quality through walls, floors, and other obstacles. The 400-foot range capability means you can cover large properties or challenging installations where standard Z-Wave signals might struggle. The built-in backup battery is a thoughtful touch, providing power outage alerts so you know when part of your network might be affected.
The Zooz Advantage
What ties this entire Zooz collection together is the focus on practical solutions and professional-grade reliability. These aren't just smart devices – they're tools designed to solve specific problems that installers and advanced users encounter in real-world applications. The comprehensive customization options, robust build quality, and thoughtful features like SmartStart setup and S2 security show that Zooz understands what serious smart home enthusiasts need.
Whether you're expanding an existing Z-Wave network or building a new installation from scratch, this collection provides the building blocks for sophisticated automation that actually works reliably day after day. Each device brings something unique to the table, but together they create possibilities for automation that goes far beyond simple on/off control.
