Fibaro Things - General

And also remember Z-wave frequencies are different in the US (908 MHz) than from Europe (869 MHz) : you will need a US version (NOT a UK=EU version) of the Fibaro Devices, as long as the SmartThings Hub does not offer multi-regions support.

This.

I hadn’t noticed noted the person with the question was linking to the UK Amazon site. The UK and the US use different Z wave frequencies. Although a few European frequency smartthings version one hubs were created for original kickstarter backers, the only version one hubs you’ve been able to buy Since then are using the US zwave frequency. Smartthings has said that they intend to come out with a UK version, but no specific time line.

FAQ: SmartThings international function

Hello all. I am fairly new to the HA field, and I have been extensively researching and settled upon smartthings as my number 1 choice for a smart hub. However, I live in the Caribbean and I am just curious about one thing in particular. I realise thst there are US, UK and other z-wave frequencies etc. so my question is : if I buy a US version of the smarthub and all US accessories (sensors etc), will it work even though I am outside of the US? I know that buying UK “Things” won’t work with a US hub, so I’m just curious. Do I need to be literally in the US or can I just buy all US components and expect the system to function as advertised. EDIT : Also where I am from, we have the same specs as the US (110-120 v 50-60 hz).

So at the present time, only US frequency zwave devices can be recognized by the currently sold SmartThings hub.
