--- 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.

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.
Google Nest Hubs (Android) = no zwave
Apple HomeKit (Apple TV and other Apple Hubs) = no zwave
So all the big everyday "consumer" devices do not support it.
I would pick zwave over the others but not anymore. I have been on the "wrong" side of formats in the past, and in the end it isn't awesome.
Zigbee is what "won" out here. They are part of the matter alliance and what others are supporting.
Just my opinion.
Edit - SmartThings is actually moving away from cloud bases, and maybe already has. Lost a lot of good community builds due to that.

See the YouTube video if anyone is interested in repairing their broken switches.

Alexa and run automations that the majority would be more than fine with, Google as well.
Anyway, I had HD-DVD, Betamax, and other stuff that I felt was better quality but was left behind. Zwave feels like the same now.
Edit:
Not to have a completely useless post, the company I recommend is Inovelli. Leaps and bounds better than anything Zooz makes.

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 used to buy a bit of Aeotec hardware back then too, mostly sensors or plug in switches... but they've been really hit and miss. some stand the test of time, others not so much. for repeaters (i use plug in switches outdoors to get more range), the Aeotec hardware was always fantastic. Zooz, until recently, always had issues with being used as repeaters... not sure what they were doing wrong, but they're since fixed that in their last few gens. GE/Jasco, always hot garbage as repeaters. i track my mesh network, so i can see where things hop and what paths they take... the GE/Jasco hardware was rarely used.
