Has anyone bought the GE z-wave light switch from a a vedor such as Home Depot or Smarthome. I want to know if the unit still has the ability to dim. Verizon support said all they can guarantee with 3rd party purchases is on/off. Thanks in advance.

Verizon is NOT an open Z wave platform.

Verizon dosen't support all Zwave devices. I paired a Yale Real Living Z wave lockset to the VHM, but when I went to the "settings" after the gateway enrolled it into my system through Add Device, the Verizon page said even through it was in my VHM, that Verizon "Dosent Support This Product". I guess they want to close thie system to other devices so they can only sell the Schlage locksets. What I like about the Yale product is that the deadbolt is motorized, so it will retract and extend the deadbolt on demand / on schedule / on trigger.
