I am looking to add z wave control to my furnace disconnect switch.

In my furnace room, there is a switch that I can flip to turn off the furnace. I presume this switch is there in order to allow someone to easily turn off the furnace if they need to for some reason in addition to or instead of cutting power at the breaker.
Opening up the switch, it looks to be a simple light switch with two black wires (load and line) and there is also a white neutral tucked away in the box.
Can I replace the switch with a ge toggle z wave switch?

Should I be using an in-wall z-wave relay instead?
Is there some reason I shouldn't be providing this type of control in this manner?
See some pics below of the current switch setup
