Introducing the Heatit Z-Water relays with temperature sensors device handler (DTH)
RBoy Apps is the official SmartThings partner for Heatit products
Heatit Z-Water is a DIN-rail regulator for controlling hydronic heating. Heatit Z-Water is a module that clips right onto a DIN rail to add a variety of functions to your wireless Z-Wave network. It has support for different Z-Wave frequencies/countries including EU/US/US2/RU/BR/IND
Heatit Z-Water is equipped with 10 relay outputs and it has 4 analog/digital inputs. The module can be power supplied from a 230V AC mains connection, and is able to deliver an output supply of 24V DC or 230V. Heatit Z-Water relay outputs are able to be freely controlled from the Z-Wave network, and can be used for several purposes, e.g. on/off control of light, control of valve actuators for an underfloor heating system, or control of other home automation systems.
Heatit Z-Water analog/digital inputs (different firmware versions) can be configured to work with different functionality and can be connected to potential free contacts, open-collector outputs, and will be able to control other Z-Wave devices; switches, dimmers, etc.
When it pairs successfully the Status LED should stop flashing and within 30 seconds the device should show up on the ST app. If it doesn’t show up, reset the thermostat, reboot the hub, bring the device closer and try again
EXCLUSION INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure the device is within 5ft of the hub and sometimes rebooting the hub helps before pairing and keep the ST mobile app open
Press the Inclusion button and the Status LED should start flashing
Start the device removal or exclusion process on the SmartThings app
When it excludes successfully the Status LED should continue flashing. If it doesn’t exclude, try to reset the device.
FACTORY RESET
Keep the Inclusion button pressed for about 10 seconds
You can also check out the following climate and temperature management apps which can work with z-water
This Device type handler is available on the RBoy Apps Server, http://www.rboyapps.com. Refer to our website or facebook page below for the latest features and to get access to the server.
i will have ~13 Thermal actuators installed for 8 different controllable areas which could have different temperatures and be controlled independently.
Could you advise how to setup this using ST and RBoy smartapps (which one suits me better)?
Thanks.

Yes that’s the general idea, if all your actuators are working together on the same thermostat then you can add them all to the same Automation rule (add multiple relays to Then part) and you can be done with a two Automation rules (On when Heating and Off when Idle).
However if you have separate Thermostats connected with different relays, then you’ll have to create a separate pair of rules (Heating + Idle) for each thermostat.
NOTE : The UI cache will need to be cleared for the changes to show up. Change the device handler to a Z-Wave Device and then back to this custom device handler from the IDE, then sign out of the ST mobile app and sign back in. If nothing else works, you may need to exclude your device, delete the device handler and reinstall it if the UI does not update after 24 hours.
Every few weeks it stops working - no relays can be controlled.
In IDE it shows that connected with all the sensors and etc. but does not turn on/off relays anymore. Offset for temperature sensors (which are not used) can be adjusted.
Tried multiple reboots of z-water and ST, z-wave network repair, turning off other z-wave devices and so on but no success.
DH version is 02.00.01 and ST hub version is 000.035.00004 - both latest available.
Only one way is to reset and to pair to ST again. Recreating automations and heating schedules once again.
How often does your Z-water go rogue?
Does it happen after some power off?
Any other issues with z-water?
f.e. if z-water goes off it turns off all the relays, but when it is back on it does return to previous state but keeps them off. That issue was reported to Heatit by other people and they admit that would be fixed in new version. That I was told by local smart home dealer.
p.s. I am so glad that you have written that you have similar issue. thanks!
@RBoy@maddie what could you suggest? Is it some kind of software (handler) related or fixable issue or it major z-wave issue that stops z-water from corresponding to hub correctly?
are there any specific configuration in your dhl that configures a way how z-water connects to ST? Maybe to use non secure connection?
I have the same issue, it goes rogue after a while. It happened some time ago, and I will give it a new try now. @RBoy Can you look into if its a similar issue to the trm2fx?
Today it went rogue again. Without any obvious reason. Maybe it is because yesterday ST received firmware updates and rebooted? IDK clearly Heatit Z-water is not an option to control heating with ST.
Other people who are using Z-water with HA or Fibaro HC have no such issue what points to software problems.
Hello guys, I have another problem. I paired Z-Water with Smarthings, but I see only one device, not 10. I can turn it on and off, I hear the click sound in Z-Water, but nothing happens. I need your help please
