I have a Smartthings Hub that i bought in the USA but i live in Dubai where we have all the UK standards (220v, same power plug etc). when i try to setup the Hub, it only allows me to setup as US, meaning the code in the booklet only works if i choose US, if i choose UK it doesn’t allow me to proceed.
So my question here is: is there any difference between the US and the UK version? why can’t i setup this one as UK, is there a different code i can request in order to setup UK? does that change my ability to add devices ?
I have added a water leak device from Smart Things and it works fine but at the same time i’m trying (almost gave up) to add a Fibaro Door sensor and it doesn’t get recognized at all. the fibaro has battery but no combination gets it recognized.
If you have a US hub then you have to also set it up as a US hub.
You will also have to buy US frequency zwave devices as the UK and US hubs run on different zwave frequencies which are hard coded to the ST hub and cannot be changed.
The zigbee frequency is the same but US devices have a higher power output and may be illegal.
If I were you I would investigate whether you will be OK with US devices before going much further.
Thanks. I just ordered a starter kit for Smart things UK. i think this will address the issue. The question here is: Can i have 2 Hubs running at the same time on the same App, one US, one UK with its related devices associated to it?
Thanks. I will wait to receive my hub and check if i can make everything work with it and then resell the US one. Do you have experience in larger houses (4000 sqft) and the capacity to reach indoor and outdoor areas. is it ok or is there any best practice for this to get fixed?
My new Smart Things Hub (UK) has arrived and i’m able to setup things accordingly. thanks! One way i’m trying to make it work is to have 2 hubs (one US, one UK) in the same location) and use location as an option to have both working at the same time in the same house.
