Folks.
I have had an old remotec. ZFM-80 dry contact switch turning off/on my gas fireplace for years. it was small, easy to setup, and fit in the electrical box that the current on/off switch was. it was great as it still allowed the local switch to operate, as well as via zwave.
It has finally decided to pack it in. Does anyone happen to have a modern small modern equivilent to this they would recommend I use to replace this relay?

Do you need ZWave? There are lots of Zigbee relay switches out there. One example is the SONOFF ZBMINIL2.
I'll keep that in mind, but one reason I really liked the zfm80 was that is was tiny and would fit into the electrical box. This one looks a little large. Also, currently while I could use zigbee, currently everything I have is zwave so I have no zigbee mesh at all.
Fortunately, I do have a bit of a reprieve. As a last ditch effort I rebooted my hubitat and powered it off to reset the zwave radio. I didn't expect this to work as all other zwave devices were working and this one was the only one that would get stuck in "pending" when doing a refresh.. Usually when zwave dies for me, all zwave dies. Much to my surprise, it worked, and the relay is working again.
They are: Item dimensions L x W x H 0.5 x 1.68 x 0.79 inches
The picture I posted require no neutral, you probably just want the ZBMINI. They are the same size.
I have one of those stuffed into the box above the light in my Laundry Room. It was the only light in the house without a neutral in the box, so I put one of those in the ceiling where the neutral is.
Zooz has solid z-wave relay options, and their BF/CM sale is still on.
thanks all. glad to know I still haver some options to replace this thing when the time comes
