This is the regular switch... Notice this is a "regular" style but you can find it in paddle as well.

They look like generic lamp z-wave modules for a smart home system like SmartThings. Because they plug in to an outlet they act as a repeater for other parts of the system that run on batteries like door/window sensors, smoke detectors and whatnot. They probably plug a lamp into the timer when it isnt rented to make it look occupied, and move it to a regular location for rent days rather than messing with the programming every time.

Home assistant will interface with all sorts of products you can look at the Home Assistant website to see all things it interfaces with.
I will also say that this is the most active community and the fastest to incorporate new products. Over the last five months I have been tinkering with HA many new products have been incorporated.
As for the Iris Smart Plug it is a zigbee device that contains a Zwave radio. It will connect to your Zwave network and be an always on device (meaning that it will extend the reach of your mesh network) but you will not be able to control the on and off of the plug. I have two of them and they work great if you use something that has Zigbee radio.
If you are only going to utilize the Z-Stick you will want to use something like one of the following:
[Leviton VRPD3-1LW Vizia RF] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFF4RG4/ref=twister_B01JJKURQS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) I have this one for my Christmas tree

[GE Z-Wave Wireless Lighting Control Outdoor Module] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013V8K3O/ref=twister_B017SOTBJG?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) I have a few of these outside
As for the GE Duplex outlet, I have one or two of them but I really like the design and functionality of the Leviton VRR15-1LZ Vizia RF + Split Duplex Receptacle better.
As for light bulbs, I own Hue, Link, Cree, and maybe one more. They are all Zigbee bulbs so I connect them to the Hue hub and let it interface with HA. They work fine for my uses but I really don't care about the colors. When Lifx put its bulbs on sale a few weeks ago I almost bought some of the BR30 but didn't because they don't interface with Home Kit. I really don't need them since the fixtures already have a zwave switch but I thought it would be nice to change colors if I wanted to. Also I have found that some of the Zigbee bulbs loose the connection with the hub if they are turned on and off from a switch. I was hoping the Lifx being wifi would not do that.
Would anyone be interested in some youtube videos explaining my setup and discussing my experiences with products?
So I found this and it SHOULD work with the Smartthings Hub.
This is my first go at home automation so Im keeping my fingers crossed. I also ordered the Philips Hue starter kit. I think its stupid you need the Philips hub too but cest la vie
If had good luck with this one.

I'm guessing that you will need to wait for it to "boot up/attach to the network" if you use the switch.
