The stock Edge drivers will function for most GE/Jasco smart dimmers and switches except perhaps very old units. They won’t have any of the fancy parameters/settings, but they will do switching/dimming just fine. They are super common switches.
For more options, you may try @philh30 ’s Jasco/GE drivers as well. Details below: [ST Edge] Driver for GE/Jasco/Honeywell Z-Wave Switches, Dimmers, Fans, Outlets, and Plug-Ins
All of the models that Phil’s driver supports directly are listed here:

## **GE Zigbee Switch/Dimmer (ge-zigbee-switch)**
Provides power/energy reporting for models that support it. The GE/Jasco Zigbee switches and dimmers have little to no configuration options. There's no reason this driver shouldn't work for devices besides the GE/Jasco models (I have two plug-in switches from other manufacturers using it), though other models may have better configuration options that a specifically-tailored driver could take advantage of. The LED indicators don't even seem to be configurable by Zigbee, though I've seen that they can be changed with a sequence of quick button taps (up x3 followed by down x1).
### Switch (Jasco 45856)
Basic functionality with properly scaled power/energy metering.
### Dimmer (Jasco 45857)
The following options are available for configuration in the settings menu:
- **Default Dim Level** - The default dimming level when the device is turned on (a tap on the physical switch or an ON command from the hub). A value of 0 restores the dimmer to the previous level when the switch was last on. Values from 1-100% will scale based on the minimum and maximum dimming settings. *This is the only configurable option that I've found that is stored in the device - all other settings are programmatic and will apply only to commands originating from the hub.*
- **Dimming Transition Time** - The time in tenths of seconds to transition to a new level when a set level command is sent. Values can range from instant (0) to 1 hour 49 minutes 13.4 seconds (65534). A setting of 65535 uses the default transition time configured in the dimmer hardware, which for the 45857 is instant. *This setting applies only to commands originating from the hub.*
- **Transition Time Scaling** - Enabling this setting will use the *Dimming Transition Time* as the time to move from 0 to 100%, and will scale any smaller change to take a proportional amount of time. For example, if the *Dimming Transition Time* is set to 10 minutes and the level is changed from 25 to 75% (a 50% change), the transition will take 5 minutes. This setting does not apply if the *Dimming Transition Time* is set to 65535. *This setting applies only to commands originating from the hub.*
