If you want to use devices with Homey Bridge / Homey Pro, a Homey app (not Homey smartphone app!) that supports this device is required. This app provides a device driver so that Homey Bridge / Homey Pro is able to communicate with this device.
These apps are developed by Athom (the company behind Homey), by the maker of the devices or by user.
These apps can be installed directly via the Homey smartphone app by choosing a device, or from the App Store. In the App Store, further information are available that are not visible in the Homey smartphone app, also information on how to contact the app developer:
Also an important information in the App Store is, if there is a topic about the App in the Homey Community Forum. But this is not the case for all apps, e.g. for the Zooz app is no topic available.
This is an example from another app:
If there is not yet an app for a specific device maker, you can submit a request on the page Request A Brand to Athom or post a request in the topic [Requests] Homey Pro Community App Requests to see if a user is willing to develop an app.
Hello, I have added a few zooz light switches. They add and work fine, but do not show up under the âlightâ categories. Any ideas on how to set a switch to identify as a light in homey. (Zooz zen72, zen77, zen32)
Thank you for providing the screen shot Austin. The advanced settings also do not have any mechanism for changing the designation of the switch to a âlightâ
I think only the app developer can help out here. Maybe he can change the capability for the switch into âsocketâ if you request that.
Then anyone can choose which type is âplugged inâ, f.e. Light, or TV, or fan and such. https://github.com/koktail-nl/com.getzooz.issues/issues/new/choose

I have been adding ZOOZ ZEN77 and ZEN76 switches to Homey Pro via the ZOOZ app. All of the switches are new and identical. They have been enrolled in Homey in the exact same way. I have activated the Homey skill in Alexa. Some of the switches are showing up in Alexa, and some are not.
The only difference I can see in the switch set-ups in Homey is that the switches that DO work properly show the âStatus Indicatorâ as âNot Configurableâ. The switches that DO NOT work show the Status Indicator as âNoneâ. The device tiles in the app for the working switches have a circular light indicators while the non-working switches do not. You cannot change the Status Indicator field.
I have tried turning off the Alexa Homey Skill and reactivating it. I have tried removing the devices from the Homey Pro and the re-enrolling them. Nothing seems to fix the problem. I donât understand how the exact same switches are enrolling differently.
I have been emailing with Homey Support, but they have been no help. They say that Zooz is responsible for the Zooz app, and Zooz says that Athom is responsible. At this point I may have to throw in the towel and go back to SmartThings.
What I am trying to achieve is, after 9pm when I flip my zooz wall switch to turn on my closet lights, turn them on to dim level 25% because 100% is way too bright when getting ready for sleep.
I first tried a basic flow of when light switch is on between 9pm-6am dim to 25%. Didnât work as expected because it first comes on it turns on to itâs normal 100% and then down to 25%. Actually makes sense because the dim isnât triggered until after the light is switched on.
How do I set the default turn on value of my zooz ZEN72 switch within Homey Pro?
Documentation from Zooz website outlining parameters and values you can set, but I honestly wouldnât know where to start doing that within a flow, advanced flow, or creating variables etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Double Tap and Single Tap Behavior
Parameter 12: Choose what youâd like the dimmer to do when you double-tap the upper paddle.
Values: 0 â the light will turn on to full brightness (default); 1 â the light will turn on to the custom brightness level set in parameter 18; 2 â the light will turn on to the maximum brightness level set in Parameter 11; 3 â double tap disabled.
Size: 1 byte dec
Parameter 25: Choose what youâd like the dimmer to do when you tap the upper paddle once.
Values: 0 â the light will turn on to the last brightness level (default); 1 â the light will turn on to the custom brightness level set in parameter 18; 2 â the light will turn on to the maximum brightness level set in Parameter 11; 3 â the light will turn on to full brightness.
Iâm not sure that would work because where would the trigger to do something come from? The trigger is me flipping the switch on, but I want it to come on yet come on to value 25%. If I removed the turn on, it would just be dim to 25%, but it would still need a trigger to do so right?
But I wouldnât want it to always be 1% instead. Just always 1% between the hours of 9pm and 6am.
And having it turned off with a 1% dim level, has nothing to do with which dimlevel you want to set it to.
It just prevents the light from dimming to 100% after itâs turned on.
