Ahhh ok, this makes sense, thanks again! While I don’t know how their methods differ yet, I’ll definitely use http://products.z-wavealliance.org/ as a reference while deciding which way to go.

I’m tired now, but the following thread explains more about the different methods:

Leviton switch control LED strip plug in leviton zwave receptacle

Hi, I want to know if this will work. I want to install new LED strip under the cabinet. I will use an Leviton outlet receptacle (Leviton DZR15-1LZ) to plus the LED strip. I will also have an Leviton switchLeviton (DZS15-1LZ ) which will be program when ever I turn the switch on, the receptacle will turn on and power the LED strip. Is this doable for idea? Also I read that it’s not instant status? So it mean if i turn the switch on, it will take some delay (how long?) for the LED strip to turn on? I live in canada, so If i want instant status, what do you recommannd to get? I will get more switch late to control the light outside and light indoor. Thanks!
