ZOOZ ZEN32 Big "Switch Button"

[mikek]

I have a ZEN32 scene controller installed. I understand the limitations of the four small buttons and that they are not really capable of scene control. I'm using them programmatically (it's a hassle but it works). Here's what I don't understand - 

I have disabled the relay function of the big switch button, which is supposed to make it act like the four small buttons. However, I don't see that button listed separately anywhere.

Has anyone figured this out?

@mikek I'm not familiar with that device, but @kzboray had a post that might give more details from a couple of years ago. Take a look and see if it might help answer some questions (or raise even more). 

 

And here's a post from @brians that could also help:

Thanks @Geddy. I had read through both of those posts before I posted mine. They contain a lot of useful information, but unfortunately don't address my specific question.

@mikek understood. Maybe somebody with this product has figured more out and can answer your question.

I have several of the Zooz Zen32 controllers in both of my homes.  I like them, but as you might have noticed, they do not always play well with Insteon scenes.  The button you have listed above is the primary switch.  You can control On and Off with the eISY.  If you right click and "group" you will see a layout similar to how the Insteon keypads show up after grouping.  Mine is renamed as listed below. 

Interesting that you have a scene button 6 that I do not have.  Maybe that is what you are looking for?

My "big button" is wired to my ceiling lights in my bathroom, but I also have it controlled programmatically to turn on the sink light as well as the fan when it is switched on.

I have never had much (if any) luck using z-wave devices in scenes, though I do believe the Zen32 big button might work.  Because of this, I generally limit their use to single locations like bedrooms and bathrooms and only reference them programmatically

The secondary buttons, as you have found, are really only useful in programs.  I have previously documented my use as a ceiling fan controller combined with the Insteon ceiling fan module.

 

I like the Zooz product line.  They have a two-button as well that I use as fireplace control using the Zooz relay.

 

Good Luck!
