Z-Wave compatible devices

[hchain]

I am new to Z-Wave. Looking at the huge variety of available devices on the web, I wonder if they are all compatible with the eISY or if they need to have a specific characteristic/protocol/whatever to be compatible. I appreciate some guidelines on this. Thanks.

Aside from @lilyoyo1's important link, know that currently Zooz is the best option for Zwave devices. In the past (and still occasionally) I used GE/Jasco, Inovelli and Homeseer, but now I find Zooz the best option.

My experience is that some manufacturers don't get sufficient profitability from their Zwave line and then either abandon all together (Inovelli seems to have done that) or don't give good support. Who knows, that  may happen to Zooz some day, but right now it is the best option.
