ST supports Z-Wave. I am using mostly the GE Smart Switch/Dimmer currently, but I do have some Leviton and other switches. Doesn’t sound like you need a dimmer switch, but they are about the same price.
Here is a comparison of the Leviton vs GE dimmer switch:
Who makes the best Z-Wave dimmer? These are the two I’ve tried so far:
Leviton
Pro: Responds very quickly.
Pro: User configurable minimum brightness. This is extremely useful for LEDs like mine, since they do not turn on with less than 10% power.
Pro: User configurable default brightness. When the switch is turned on, it can return to the last brightness level or your selected default brightness level. Many people prefer their switches to start at 100% brightness.
Pro: Green leds on the switch indicate the current brightness level.
Con: The dimming buttons or “dim bar” (as they call it) is awful. It’s stiff, difficult to use, and feels cheap.
Con/Neutral: There are not separate on and off buttons. A single button is used to toggle on/off state.
Con: Expensive. $60 for the basic version,…
