How Many Z-Wave Devices Can I Use On My Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus?

You can use up to 152 total Z-Wave devices on your Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. In addition to the total limit, there are also sub-limits for specific types of Z-Wave devices that must be adhered to. If you add up all the sub-limits, then you will reach the total of 152 unique Z-Wave devices.

Inside every Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus System is a Z-Wave Plus controller. This is what allows you to pair Z-Wave devices with the system. Paired Z-Wave devices can be controlled from the main panel and from any paired Qolsys IQ Remote Keypads. These devices can also be controlled remotely from the Alarm.com platform if the system is monitored. Both classic Z-Wave devices and Z-Wave Plus devices can be used with the system. We recommend using exclusively Z-Wave Plus devices, if possible. More information on Z-Wave vs. Z-Wave Plus can be found in this FAQ. However, device limits will remain the same whether you use Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus devices.

Most Z-Wave controllers have a limit of 232 total Z-Wave devices. But for whatever reason, the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus System only supports a maximum of 152 total Z-Wave devices. And beyond that, there are also several sub-limits for Z-Wave devices that must also be considered. If you try to add additional Z-Wave devices beyond these limits, then you may run into problems when attempting Z-Wave device enrollment. If you are needing additional assistance adding Z-Wave devices to your Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus, please review this helpful FAQ on adding a Z-Wave light to the system. The IQ Panel 2 Plus will use the same general pairing process for all Z-Wave device types.

Fortunately, the Z-Wave device limits on the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus are very generous. You most likely won't run into any issues if you are using the system in a typical home or small business. However, if you use the system in a big mansion or large business full of Z-Wave devices, then it is very possible that you might run out of space. That is why it can be somewhat important to keep these Z-Wave device limits in mind when planning your system.
