I’m an old Zwave adopter and looking to switch from another system to Homey, but I cannot find anywhere if Homey is available for US Zwave Frequency and if not, are there plans/timeline to provide Homey US frequency? ---

Yes, Athom does offer a US region z-wave chip, not sure if they already have the US compliance though. You will have to contact [Athom Support](mailto:support@athom.com) to get the proper one though as they don’t offer it “on the fly” on the website. ---

Thanks for your feedback Caseda, I’m looking to migrate from Zipato, do you have any experience with this platform that you can provide any comparison feedback? ---

Another question, I looked in the Homey support platform and in order to open a support request they require ya diagnostic support which I obviously don’t have. Do you know if there is another way of contacting them? ---

I have no experience with zipato, but asking that question is like asking someone how they find a certain television brand, some really love a certain brand, some really hate that brand cause they had an issue with it (in the past), or the never ending iPhone vs android “discussion”. So it is just a personal opinion. (I’m one of those that really love Homey) Woops, I though I put in the support mail for Athom instead of a faulty link (changed now to [support@athom.com](mailto:support@athom.com)). You can still (for the future) just put in any code if you don’t have one. ---

Thanks for the email I will ask them. Regarding my question, I think if you only know one environment if might seem more like a “preference” than anything else, but being familiar with Fibaro, Vera and Zipato, you can appreciate right away differences in the system, UI, API and especially support. I think Zipato has a good environment but unfortunatelly is closed, there is no way power users or third-party developers add functionality or compatibility to the system, Zipato support for this has been decreasing badly over the last couple of years, I like from homey that there is third-party development as far as I can tell, is that correct? ---

I have delayed my migration as much as possible, but I now believe is Zipato very close to die, purchased my homey and will start with migration of devices as soon as I get it.
