Will any Z-Wave switch work with my Z-Wave controller?
Mostly yes. In order to be certified for Z-Wave, every switch needs to have a certain set of basic features. Furthermore, every certified Z-Wave controller needs to support those features. Therefore, ALL the basic features will work for ANY Z-Wave switch on ANY Z-Wave hub. However, for advanced switch features, the waters become a bit more murky. Any feature that isn't part of the official Z-Wave certification will require special device drivers (code) which are sometimes provided by the manufacturer or a community member. If they are not provided, the advanced features won't work.
