Connecting ZEN15 Power using SmartThings Hub

This tutorial shows how to bring electric power and energy measurements from the Zen15 sensor into your TagoIO account using a Samsung SmartThings hub.

SmartThings Hub from Samsung

The Zooz Zen15 Power Switch connects to the SmartThings hub using Z‑Wave wireless technology. The Zen15 can control loads and measure power and energy in real time so data can be displayed and processed by TagoIO.

SmartThings Setup​

Assume that you already have your devices, hubs, and locations registered in the SmartThings portal.

  • Make sure your ZooZ device is registered at the SmartThings portal.
  • If you don't have the locations and hubs registered, access this tutorial.

SmartThings Hub demands a manual installation of a handler when using Zooz sensors.
Click here for the tutorial. The code to be inserted in the handler to enable the Hub to find the Zen15 sensor can be found here.

Configuring SmartThings to send data to TagoIO​

  1. Sign in to the SmartThings portal.
  2. Click on My Device Handlers and create a new Device Handler.
  3. Set up your Device Handler:
    • Name: insert a name for your device handler
    • Namespace: insert the preferred namespace
    • Capabilities: select Power Meter and Energy Meter
    • Click Create.
  4. After the Device Handler is created, a code is automatically generated. Remove all the generated code and replace it with our TagoIO handler. Copy the code and paste it into your device handler.
  5. Click Save and then click Publish > For Me.
  6. Install the Device Handler on your devices:
    • Click the Simulator button.
    • Select your location and click Set Location.
    • In the section “Choose a device to test with”, select the device you want to install the handler (you can only install the handler on one device at a time).
    • Click Install.

TagoIO Setup​

In your TagoIO account, go to Device and click Add Device.
Select the Zen15 device type and fill in the required fields.

The Device ID is obtained by following these steps:

  • In the SmartThings portal, select the My devices tab and find the device you just installed.
    To get the Device ID, go to the URL of the browser and copy the text as shown below.

  • Paste it into the Device ID field.

Your Zen15 is now ready to send data to TagoIO. To visualize the incoming data, create a dashboard.
