Short answer no.

Long answer - Control4's direct Zwave compatibility is quite low as 3rd parties cannot utilise the Zwave SDK.

It would be amazing if C4 opened it so 3rd parties could use the wave SDK - I would gladly pay for native control of 3rd party drivers for the Jasco switches/dimmers, Schlage deadbolts, and Homeseer outdoor motion/light sensor, among others.

I came across a number of these outlets and picked them up. I am curious if there is an intermediate hub or something I can use to make them work with C4. Any ideas?

Thank you 

As Alan said there's no way to do it natively at this time (perhaps ever).  However, you can connect many z-wave devices (these outlets included) to a Vera hub and then integrate them into C4 through that.  However the Vera hub is being migrated to Ezlo which does not have a driver.  Vera hubs won't automatically update their firmware so staying on existing firmware for existing integrations should continue to work.  Devices work very well once integrated - though z-wave can be wonky sometimes.  However this solution is far from ideal from a security standpoint (no more firmware means no more security updates) and I also don't know if you can activate a Vera hub still for new integration.  But this may be a (not perfect) solution for you if you can still do it......
