{"product_id":"crestron-hz2-swex-a","title":"Crestron HZ2-SWEX-A – In-Wall Wireless Switch, Almond","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crestron HZ2-SWEX-A is a single-gang in-wall on\/off switch that communicates wirelessly over the infiNET EX 2.4 GHz mesh network. Designed for 120 VAC loads, it operates without a wired control run from each device back to a processor, reducing installation labor in retrofit and new-construction commercial projects. The Almond finish aligns with standard Leviton and Lutron almond trim plates, making it a practical choice for spaces where mixed-brand control hardware must present a consistent appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HZ2-SWEX-A belongs to the Crestron Horizon 2 series — a line of in-wall lighting control devices built around infiNET EX wireless mesh technology. The switch handles non-dimming 120 VAC loads and ships with standard factory engraving. It mounts in a single-gang decora opening and requires an infiNET EX gateway (such as the CEN-GWEXER) on the network to communicate with a Crestron control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor commercial environments where running additional low-voltage wiring is cost-prohibitive or structurally impractical, infiNET EX mesh provides a reliable wireless path with self-healing routing and AES-128 encryption. The Almond colorway ($410) covers applications in hospitality, healthcare, and education facilities where almond trim is an established standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-dimming on\/off control for 120 VAC loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einfiNET EX 2.4 GHz wireless mesh communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES-128 encrypted wireless link\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-gang decora form factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlmond finish compatible with standard almond trim plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard factory engraving included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires infiNET EX gateway for system integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Crestron Horizon 2 lighting control ecosystem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference rooms and boardrooms with existing decora almond trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHospitality guest rooms and corridors requiring wireless retrofit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthcare facilities with almond finish standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation classrooms where running new wiring is not feasible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-tenant office spaces with mixed lighting control brands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e HZ2-SWEX-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-dimming on\/off, 120 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWireless Protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e infiNET EX 2.4 GHz mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEncryption:\u003c\/strong\u003e AES-128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-gang decora\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Almond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngraving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard (factory)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGateway Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (infiNET EX gateway, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the HZ2-SWEX-A require a neutral wire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrestron's wiring requirements for the Horizon 2 series depend on the specific installation.
