Zooz is a US smart home brand focused on Z-Wave. It sells wall switches and dimmers, plugs, relays, scene controllers, sensors, a water valve actuator and Z-Wave network gear, including the ZST39 USB stick and the Z-Box Hub. Devices are controlled through a Z-Wave hub of your choice rather than a Zooz app.
Zooz devices speak Z-Wave, and its newer 800 series products add Z-Wave Long Range. They need a Z-Wave controller, such as a Home Assistant setup with a Z-Wave stick, a SmartThings hub, Homey, Hubitat or Zooz's own Z-Box Hub. Zooz says its devices work with Z-Wave products from other brands, can be kept off the cloud and use S2 security.
That suits people who want local, hub-based automation and are comfortable choosing a controller. It is weaker if you want to pair directly with Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home, because Zooz says those speakers are not Z-Wave controllers, and we found no Matter support in the pages we read.

Connects Zooz Z-Wave devices to Homey. Homey's Works with page lists wall switches and dimmers, plugs, relays, scene controllers, sensors, the Titan water valve actuator, a siren and the Q Sensor, and says communication runs locally through Homey. The page does not name the publisher, although the app ID suggests Zooz. We could not confirm which Homey models are supported or whether a Homey Bridge is needed.
The Z-Box Hub is controlled through the Fibaro app and a web interface, according to a 2023 trade article. We found no Zooz-published page naming the app, and no store links, so none are given. Zooz's homepage names no companion app of its own.
Zooz's range is built on Z-Wave. Its compatibility articles list hubs such as Z-Box Hub, Ezlo, Home Assistant with Z-Wave JS, HomeSeer, Homey, Indigo and SmartThings. Zooz notes that compatibility can vary by device feature and advises checking hub support before buying.
Zooz cites up to 1300 ft of coverage for its Long Range products. A hardware article on the ZST39 LR stick says up to 1 mile (1.6 km) in open space with Long Range enabled and up to 200 devices per network. Home Assistant says that in North America new Zooz devices ship with Long Range, while in Europe it is not enabled yet and can come through an over-the-air update.
None of these are described on the Zooz pages we read, and an article calls the Z-Box Hub Z-Wave only. We could not confirm whether any Zooz device uses them.
Matter is not mentioned on Zooz's homepage or its compatibility articles that we read, and the Z-Box Hub article does not list it. We did not find an announcement either way.
Not directly compatible. Zooz's compatibility article says Alexa and Google speakers lack a Z-Wave chip and are not Z-Wave controllers, so voice control works only through a Z-Wave hub that supports speaker integration. A 2023 article says the Z-Box Hub, through the Fibaro app, works with Google Assistant.
Same position as Google Home: no direct pairing, and voice control depends on the hub. Zooz's article names Z-Box and SmartThings as hubs with speaker integration. The Z-Box article says it works with Alexa through the Fibaro app.
Zooz's homepage lists SmartThings among compatible hubs. Zooz's compatibility articles say a custom device handler is needed to reach advanced settings, and name SmartThings as supporting speaker integration. The page we read is hosted on a support site that a retailer also uses, so its status as a Zooz page is not fully certain.
Zooz's own local Z-Wave hub, which Zooz describes as a private network that users own and control. Zooz's articles call it recommended for its products. A 2023 article lists it as about 130 dollars, Z-Wave only, with a local API described in its web interface.
Zooz's pages list Ezlo Plus and Ezlo Secure, HomeSeer, Indigo (no S2 security, so security features are unavailable), Fibaro Home Center Lite, Ring Alarm and Alarm.com as compatible or partner systems.
Zooz is part of the Works with Home Assistant program, announced in July 2025 with 26 certified Z-Wave products. They connect through the Z-Wave JS integration with a Z-Wave USB stick and run locally without cloud. Home Assistant lists the ZST39 800 series stick as a supported adapter. The integration is maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by Zooz.
Zooz's homepage lists Homey as a partner, and Homey's Works with page links a Zooz app for devices over Z-Wave. A Zooz article says the ZEN52 needs the Zooz app for Homey and firmware 1.50 or later. Whether a Homey Bridge is needed is not stated on the pages we read.
One Zooz compatibility article lists Hubitat as needing a custom driver, while another did not list it among compatible hubs, so the position is mixed. Hubitat has a documentation page on Z-Wave Long Range, but we could only read its title, not its content.
We did not find a Zooz or Domoticz page covering Zooz devices. We could not confirm either way.

Zooz developer access
Unconfirmed
We found no documented Zooz developer program. Zooz says devices can be kept off the cloud and support over-the-air firmware updates, and the Z-Box Hub reportedly has a local API. A Zooz GitHub organisation appeared in search results, but we did not open it.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
