So, I received my Almond+ and went on the hunt for any Z-wave or Zigbee devices to attach and start to experiment with the system.
Perhaps I jumped the gun a bit as both modules I bought are not yet fully supported. Both can be added to the router and come up as an unknown device. I can adjust both directly on the Almond+ with the dimmer having settings between 0 and 49 and the switch having an off state of 0 and an on state of 255.
I'll keep them around to see if they eventually get added and in the meantime I'll look for some supported switched/sensors.
