In Israel the voltage is 220v, 50hz and our electrical outlets are like:

would these ZWave products fit us? (would we just need the plug convertor due to size/shape or
are we talking here about electricity transformers?)

Thanks.

FreeNode-#linuxmce.log:Mai 23 09:25:33 <Itsik> it seems that z-wave frequency is reserved for military use .. FreeNode-#linuxmce.log:Jun 01 22:21:45 <Itsik> well, not much, decided to go with plcbus for home automation as z-wave frequency is military here FreeNode-#linuxmce.log:Jun 05 18:01:50 <Itsik> yep ... z-wave frequency is reserved for the militaryt here :(Z-Wave is a nogo in Israel. (granted this is from 2008)

Post by: hari on August 13, 2009, 09:02:08 pm: be aware that I don't recommend the ZCU201. Your mileage may vary, but I had big problems with the serial communication, loosing bytes from frames for example.
