We do support other z-wave products. You can use the basic z-wave command classes from our controller for any surrent z-wave product line. There are some advanced things you can do with our IlluminEssence lighting that you can't do with basic command class devices, but you can still create scenes, turn on and off lights, and map scenes to audio video activities.
Funny you should ask about the trigger option. In the future, other CE manufacturers will hopefully incorporate z-wave chipsets natively into their devices so we could (for example) talk to a sony DVD player through the RF z-wave without the need for translation devices.
I do know of a company called Boca Devices (http://www.bocadevices.com) and they make a z-wave 8 port relay for things like projectors and screens called the "Relay-Z".
