Since there are door locks that can control a servo to lock/unlock a door, are there devices that I can control something like a toggle switch.
Yes, there is one: the Ecolink smart switch cover.

About:
Ecolink has released a Z-Wave Plus retrofit for any single-gang light switch. This is similar to the Switchmate, where it acts as a “mechanical finger” to control lights without making wiring changes. Not too much has been publically said about it. However, a video from CES 2017 gives the product a brief feature. Z-Wave certification for the Toggle and Decora versions are listed. FCC Information is also available (Toggle /Decora ). This is a great device for anyone that rents their house or doesn’t feel confident enough switching…

I have a couple of these and they have worked well so far.

Also good, but that one’s zigbee, not zwave, just in case it matters to the OP.
Good news is I believe SmartThings has recently added native device handlers for both of them.

Bummer. Thanks for the heads up.
That might work. I basically need a battery controlled wireless single pole single throw device for low voltage. With this I could just put a dummy light switch in it and connect the leads. Building my own servo device AND making it battery controlled is too much work.

I didn’t think he had specified from reading his message, but I just realized his thread subject does say Z-Wave, so sorry about that. Yes the Third Reality devices are Zigbee.
