Pairing a Z-Wave Device with the 2GIG GC2e

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to pair a Z-Wave home automation device with a 2GIG GC2e Security System. The 2GIG GC2e has a built-in Z-Wave Plus controller for this purpose. A maximum of 232 Z-Wave devices can be used with the system, though 2GIG recommends using far fewer Z-Wave devices for optimal panel performance. It is also important to keep in mind that only the first 122 Z-Wave devices can be pushed over to Alarm.com for remote access and control.

By adding a Z-Wave device to the GC2e, you will be able to control the device from the panel. And if the system is monitored and set up with Alarm.com, then you will also be able to control it remotely through that platform by using a web browser or a mobile app on your phone. Alarm.com will also allow you to include your programmed Z-Wave devices with smart scenes so that they activate automatically based on a set schedule or with predetermined system events.

All sorts of Z-Wave devices can be used with the 2GIG GC2e. Some of the most popular options include devices like smart lights, door locks, and smart thermostats. It is important to note that only Z-Wave automation devices can be used with the GC2e. You cannot enroll Z-Wave security sensors with the system. It is recommended that you use Z-Wave Plus devices with the GC2e System if possible. Z-Wave Plus devices offer better range and battery life than classic Z-Wave devices when used with a Z-Wave Plus controller like the GC2e. However, you can certainly still use standard Z-Wave devices if you have some. After enrolling a new Z-Wave device, make sure to test it for proper function. You should also go and set up scenes for the Z-Wave device through Alarm.com.
