Overview
2GIG Z-Wave smart home module — thermostat, dimmer, plug, outlet, or garage door controller enrolled on the panel Z-Wave network for automation and Alarm.com scenes.
On 2GIG systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.

- Range — repeaters (RPTR1) or transceivers (XCVR2) for distant zones.
- Battery type — use listed cell; replace all batteries in multi-cell devices.
