I want to set-up Z-Wave devices with my M1. My question concerns Z-Wave functions so I know weather I can use the VCOP as intended.
My set-up is being done in mainland China. I can get Z-Wave devices (lighting, appliance) here. China Z-Wave network is assigned at 868.42 MHz. I know the US is different.
What I do not understand is if the VCOP+3 will communicate with the "Chinese" controller and devices or not. I assume the VCOP+3 is an RF receiver/transmitter. Voltage is not an issue. I will have 129v 60hz service as well as the CHinese 220v50hz. I just don't understand the Z-Wave RF enough to know what or how it actually communicates within it's network.
My gut tells me the VRCOP+3 will not see a Chinese Z-Wave controller. I haven't found a VRCOP+3 in China, so I think I am out of luck using my M1 to control Z-Wave here. What do you all think? What else can I do?
My M1 has OC sensors to zones so I can write lighting rules. That is way I need the M1 to control Z-Wave. Somehow I need to tie in these two systems. I am really at a loss how to do it if I can't use this VRCOP thing.
