--- 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.
