as this seems to be unclear to some users (even when stated in the wiki): for Z-Wave installations in Europe ONLY the _Seluxit viaSENS HomeController_ is fully supported with plug and play: http://www.seluxit.combest regards, Hari |

you can order them directly from Seluxit. They are quick and responsive. There is a rebate for quantities over 10. Maybe totallymaxed wants to resell them :-) best regards, Hari |

usb. They use the generic acm device class, so there is no special driver needed. You have straight access to the zensys chip over /dev/ttyACMx. br hari |

Hari - doesn't really answer my question, I'm not interested in a US version... What is EU specific about the EU version? Just the RF frequency? (230v/50Hz is effectively "worldwide" except N.A. not just Europe, so that isn't an issue) is there anything else specific?

EU frequency is 868.42 MHz, US frequency is 908.42.
and of course the voltage is different.

Colin,
As far as I can work out - you cannot use them in Australia. According the wikipedia page the approved frequency for Australia/New Zealand is 921.42MHz. I still don't know of anyone producing equipment for here.
regards
Darren

the new serial ones from ACT are the ZCS101 and the ZCS201. Be aware that they use an older chip revision. iirc domodude uses one of those. best regards, hari |

Darn.... i was hoping to get my hands on the EU Z-wave usb controller to try out over here (Australia).
Does anyone know a good supplier in Australia that has the Z-wave controllers?
Cheers
Juan
