LAMP-ZW2
versa wireless
The LAMP-ZW2 is a Z-Wave 800 Series Long Range dimmer plug - a plug-in lamp dimmer that turns a grounded indoor outlet into a dimmable one - and it's officially Alarm.com approved - so dealers can add it to an Alarm.com account and control it natively, no secondary app or workaround. Z-Wave Long Range reaches up to 1,300 ft line-of-sight direct to the controller, holding a connection from far corners and detached structures without leaning on the mesh.
It's a true dimmer, not a relay - its Z-Wave device class is GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL (0x11) rather than a binary switch - giving smooth brightness control across a 10-99% range out of the box on up to 200W incandescent or halogen and 100W dimmable LED or CFL. Parameters 11 and 12 set minimum and maximum brightness if you want a different span; the installation manual lists all 20. Pairing is SmartStart - scan the DSK QR code on the outlet or the packaging box and plug it in - and a built-in, always-on repeater strengthens the Z-Wave mesh for every mains-powered node on the network.

LAMP-ZW2 questions installers ask
Is the LAMP-ZW2 a Z-Wave dimmer plug or a smart plug?
Both descriptions fit. The LAMP-ZW2 is a Z-Wave 800 Long Range dimmer plug: it plugs into a standard grounded indoor outlet the way a smart plug does, and it dims the way an in-wall dimmer does. Its Z-Wave device class is GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL (0x11), which is what separates a true dimmer from a binary on/off smart plug that only switches.
Is the LAMP-ZW2 Alarm.com approved?
Yes. The LAMP-ZW2 is officially Alarm.com approved. Security dealers running Alarm.com accounts can add it to customer installations and control it natively through the Alarm.com platform, with no secondary app or workaround required.
How far does the LAMP-ZW2 reach on Z-Wave Long Range?
Up to 1,300 ft line-of-sight, direct to the controller. Z-Wave Long Range uses a star topology, so that distance is a point-to-point link to the controller rather than a hop through the mesh. The LAMP-ZW2 also contains an always-on repeater, which is a separate classic-mesh function that strengthens the network for other mains-powered nodes and carries no range figure of its own.
What Z-Wave controllers work with the LAMP-ZW2, and how does it pair?
The LAMP-ZW2 works with any Z-Wave certified controller. Versa officially lists Alarm.com, 2GIG EDGE, Qolsys IQ, SmartThings, Hubitat, and Home Assistant (with a Z-Wave 800 controller). Pairing is SmartStart: scan the DSK QR code with your controller app, then plug the device in and it joins automatically within 10 minutes, using S2 security. Note that Z-Wave Long Range devices can only be added via SmartStart, on an 800 Series controller with Long Range enabled.
What bulbs and wattage does the LAMP-ZW2 dimmer support?
Incandescent and halogen bulbs up to 200W, and dimmable LED or CFL bulbs up to 100W. Dimming is a true multilevel curve rather than relay switching, covering 10 to 99% out of the box; parameters 11 and 12 set the minimum and maximum brightness if you need a different span. Full parameter table is in the LAMP-ZW2 installation manual.
