Does the HC3 z-wave work in the US?

[Rovingshoe 0]

In reading the manual for the Home Control 3, I notice that the US radio frequency band was missing in this table, whereas it appears in the HC2 manual (908.42/908.40 MHz US).  Does this imply it doesn't work in the US?  I don't how how the freq. switching is implemented.  I was hoping to replace my HCL with this in the near future.

Right now Hc3 is only available in Europe, we work and certify further markets. Unfortunately, the virus is delaying our operations and unfortunately we are not able to introduce HC3 to other markets as quickly as we would like to.

 

So if you ask is now HC3 available to the US market, the answer is no, because the certification has not been completed (internal tests have shown compliance) Fibaro places great emphasis on safety and we certify the product according to general requirements as well as individual country requirements. The process takes much longer due to the number of radios supported.

Thank you for the quick response.  I will have to just wait then, even though that isn't something I am good at. ?

 

Best of luck on the US certification.

Any updates on this?  I assume not as the silence continues to be deafening.

My guess is the Zooz Z-box is their push into the US market. I am quite happy with mine so far.

I purchased a Home Center 3 on Amazon.

 

I have had Home Center Lite and Home Center 2 experience.  Both suck at the response time.  HC3 is a really nice controller/hub.

 

I have not done any migration since this freezes the previous HC console. I will perform some connectivity tests with a few devices.  What might not work are non-fibaro devices that you try to connect.  Buy then a Zigbee lock or wifi lock... the possibilities are endless.. with the new HC.

 

I assume that this device has the US Frequency built in like the extra milage or self driving on the Teslas or the heated seats in the BMWs, it is a software lock.  Please unlock these devices!!!

 

The older HC2 devices allowed you to connect a keyboard, mouse and a monitor to look at the asterix software on the linux platform.  Home Center 3 does not have these ports.
