UK and US version are different Z-wave frequency.

At the moment, i do not use any Z-wave device. All my devices using Zigbee.

26

Nobody will find out as the range for z-wave device is quite limited.

The only problem of buying US hub is that, you will have difficulties in finding the right z-wave switch and plug later, as the US switches and plug only support 110 V, and it will blow when use in Malaysia.

Hereā€™s my plan for my homestay,

-buy Schlage Connect (the best lock so far, All i need it remote change password and it gets the job done.)
-place SmartThings near the door (less than 3m away)
-get a voltage coverter, around RM25 in Pudu.

Other than that, I will be using ZigBee for motion/light sensor.

I would love to get a ZigBee lock (Yale or Kwikset), but the support from community & price range ainā€™t as good as Schlage Connect.

Why donā€™t you get an UK version?
Iā€™m using UK version without any issues at the moment.

Furthermore I think most of z-wave device in Malaysia using UK frequency.

it doesnā€™t compatible with Schlage Connect which is using 908.42MHz.

For the hub, donā€™t need voltage converter

Anyone manage to pair with Zigbee Switch in malaysia like Xiaomi Aqara ?

33

Yes, I have Xiaomi temperature, contact sensor, aqara switches, motion sensor managed by smartthings hub v2

Hi Kelvin, nice to know that, i am interested in Aqara Wall Switch too , do you mind to share how you manage to do connect your hub with the Xiaomi Aqara Switches

Iā€™m helping someone in malaysia setup a smartthings hub with several motion sensors.

Where can I buy the hub in malaysia?
If I buy it in US can most things work beside the power adapter and zwave devices?
If someone in malyasia using US smartthings hub please comment pros and cons?

thanks

Iā€™m using UK version which bought from UK
I think it is available in Malaysia officially due to SIRIM

39

Where do you buy it in malaysia and how much?

40

I bought it from amazon UK in 2016
If not mistaken, about 850MYR

41

Iā€™m using the US version currently in msia, get from Amazon us, cheaper also

42

Ok. Do you have issues using US version of hub in Malaysia? You canā€™t use zwave unless you buy from US too. I suspect SMS does not work in webcore.

43

Also can you get zigbee motion sensors in Malaysia?

44

No issue to use in msia. Depending on what you want, donā€™t get switches or anything related to electric from US, their Voltage is different.

I get most of my things from factory direct

45

Do you need a power adapter to convert the voltages? Given youā€™re using a US hub
