--- About this item ---
- LIGHT FLICKERING? – The 52327 Direct Lighting Bypass (ASIN: B08ZJQV7W2) is designed for Jasco, Enbrighten, UltraPro, GE-branded and Honeywell Z-Wave smart dimmers but may improve performance of other Z-Wave or Zigbee dimmers to prevent light flickering.
- Revolutionary, patent-pending design – QuickFit and SimpleWire technologies offer groundbreaking home automation features. Unique advancements make the smart controls easier to install and more reliable than ever.
- QuickFit – Improved components reduced the housing depth by up to 20% compared to previous Z-Wave models and eliminated the need for heat tabs. QuickFit enhancements are the ideal smart solution for older-style switch boxes, multi-gang configurations or any other application with limited space.
- SimpleWire – Auto-detecting line/load terminals support fast installation by identifying line and load wires and configuring the dimmer accordingly. Dual ground ports, which are offset to avoid switch box mounting screws, support daisy-chaining in multi-switch setups.
- Voice control – Enjoy the convenience of voice control with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa when connected through a compatible Z-Wave hub.

I wouldn't be buying Z-Wave today where I had a choice, but not for any of the reasons mentioned in this thread.
just get Zooz, fully featured hardware and their hardware in the last many years has been pretty fantastic.
Edit:
Not to have a completely useless post, the company I recommend is Inovelli. Leaps and bounds better than anything Zooz makes.

I always bought zwave over zigbee and stayed away from wifi/Bluetooth. Looks like I might have picked wrong.
- Z-Wave has had supply issues due to it being single source (this may be changing, though). Zigbee doesn't have that problem. It was actually a posting by Eric_Inovelli in his forum explaining why they were going to start doing Zigbee that explained this convincingly.
- Z-Wave devices are fussy with the include/exclude processes. Zigbee devices don't have "exclude", just a pairing. And if the device already exists on the hub, no problem .. it will just rejoin it to where it was.
- Zigbee penetrates common building materials and air better at its frequency.
- The often cited negative with Zigbee is potential interference with wi-fi. But you can avoid that simply by choosing a channel for Zigbee to avoid your wi-fi channels.
- Most battery devices (sensors, motion, contact, leak) are Zigbee. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em by having a strong ZigBee mesh with line-powered devices.
- Actual experience with Zigbee has me satisfied. I put a battery ZigBee motion sensor in my mailbox 100' from the house and not only has it worked like a charm, but it is on the same battery as when I put it out there in the weather two years ago.
- Matter is more like Zigbee than it is like ZWave.
One can make a good case that Z-Wave+ is technologically superior. But technical superiority doesn't always win out. Ask the Zilog Z-80 processor, or HD DVD, or BetaMax.just get Zooz, fully featured hardware and their hardware in the last many years has been pretty fantastic.
I've had GE/Jasco dimmers for 4 years and have not had issues.

I do happen to live in a rural area. I have some neighbors with wi-fi, but nothing like you'd have in an apartment complex.
SmartThings as a company has their own business interests that don't necessarily align with home automation users. Don't let SmartThings dictate what your home automation architecture should be. It makes more sense to chuck the SmartThings gateway and replace it something better and more local, than to start replacing individual devices.

I really wanted to like these. I bought and installed about 10 of them throughout my house because I have smaller wall boxes and these are a lot thinner than Leviton Z-wave dimmers and have simpler wiring.
All of my LEDs flicker horribly with these. I have a few different Ecosmart (HomeDepot) and GE bulbs but it doesn't matter, all rooms look haunted because of the annoying flicker. I reached out to Jasco and they sent me a list of random bulbs that they say will work so now I need to refit all my fixtures.
