Looks like you might still be able to by using a driver that Homeseer maintains: https://docs.homeseer.c
Some people report basic sensor compatibility with the generic z-wave driver. I would doubt you get access to all of the sensor data that way. Possibly just binary motion detection. Either way it's not complete or perfect plug and play.
If you find yourself frequently asking the question if it's compatible, I'd recommend looking into Home Assistant or even Hubitat... HA is compatible with all widespread home automation technologies, modern (matter, HomeKit etc), cheap (Bluetooth, WiFi) as well as older like Z-Wave and Zigbee.
Hubitat is basically the open source version of SmartThings and works with drivers written for ST.
Multisensors like this can end up sucking batteries dry very quickly if they are placed in high traffic areas and you do not (or are unable to) modify the detection or reporting frequency. Likewise battery powered multisensors are only ever active when they are reporting. Meaning the status you see is only as up to date as the last time it communicated with your hub. This is not the case with a line powered sensor that is always available and reporting current status.
Black Friday is also pretty much the only time of the year where HomeSeer products are priced competitively/worth the markup.

Free couple CR123A batteries to boot.

I try to stick to powered devices everywhere. Only battery locks, and I wish I could have had an electric strike instead but that takes a lot of work if not already built into your home.

Not thrilled with the loop molded in to the housing - I suppose that's so the outlet cover screw can be run through the sensor to secure it to the outlet - I'll likely trim the loop off if it's easily done and confirm first that it's not really needed.
