Does anyone have a recommendation for a dimmer (ZWave or Zigbee) that will work with the following type of transformer?
I have all Inovelli's right now for my switches but I don't believe they will work with this.

Thanks for the link. I had actually found that link earlier this month and sent Zooz a question on whether they supported dimming transformers and they sent me the following:
Zooz switches are rated to be used with 120V lighting directly and are not rated for use with any type of transformers or external drivers. They can only work with LED lights with built-in drivers like standard LED bulbs since they are smart switches with additional electronics that can be easily damaged by unsupported loads like the transformers requires with these cabinet lights.
I suppose I could still try one and see if it works.
I don’t know if you have room to put this in, but one option is installing a 120vac/12vdc led driver and then adding a zen31 RGBW. It has two child devices, one for the RGB and a second for just the white. Then use the white output as a dimmer to your 12v leds. The PWM output give you far greater dimming control.
The switch in the wall either gets bypassed or you put it in smart bulb mode and your either mirror the wall switch to the white child device or handle it manually with Button Controller.
I use this set in four places in my home including the front cabinet lights and my deck lighting.

Thanks for suggestion. This would work with our setup.
The LED transformer and all wiring for the undercabinet lights are at the back of a cabinet and adding this to that setup would not be difficult. I was originally trying to control directly via the already installed dimmer but finding an ELV capable Zwave/Zigbee dimmer seems to be impossible.
