Z-wave non-secure vs secure devices

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Which devices are non-secure and which are secure devices in Z-wave. What do you use in Z-Wave Network Management for Add a z-wave device ADD NODE SECURE OR ADD NODE.

2

You’ll want to add any locks you have as secure (ADD NODE SECURE).

AFAIK, all z-wave plus can do secure. I used secure mode when I could early on but after unrelated problem I rebuilt using non-secure to keep things easy; sometimes I had trouble using secured mode. Right now only device in network with secure mode is 1 door lock. Please don’t hack my house. :wink:
