Smart Things in Mexico City?

[JDRoberts]

US zwave frequency ( technically North American zwave frequency), same as US voltage, but the grounding is sometimes different so not all mains powered electrical devices from the US will work in all areas in Mexico. But most will work. See the following:

Recommended In-Wall Switches (Mexico)

Hello Everybody! I’m new at HA and Smartthings but I most say I’m impressed on how easy it was to set everything up and start doing things. Now my mind started to wonder all the stuff that could be accomplished and it got me into a bit of a dilema so I would like to ask the suggestions from the more experienced users. I’, checking out prices and deciding if I should go the way of Philips Hue or put In-Wall switches but if switches are the way, which ones would your recommend? I have some “3 way” switches, like some stairs which you con turn on at the bottom or at the top of them. I also have a couple of them that have 3 rockers for controlling 3 different sets of lights. SO which way to go and if In-Wall is the better option, which models wold ou recommend for 3 way, 3 rockers and some …

Zwave Devices are very popular in Mexico, I don’t see any reason not to use them with the US model of the SmartThings hub except for the grounding issue that I mentioned, and that only affects some individual devices. All the battery powered Z wave devices, for example, should be fine as long as they’re on the North American frequency.

@doitor is in Mexico and may have more to add.
