I think @Caseda 's answer is the best, Just for the techies: look in the table here: > **[Z-Wave | Radio frequencies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Wave#Radio_frequencies)** > > Z-Wave is designed to provide reliable, low-latency transmission of small data packets at data rates up to 100kbit/s, and is suitable for control and sensor applications, unlike Wi-Fi and other IEEE 802.11-based wireless LAN systems that are designed primarily for high data rates. Communication distance between two nodes is 200 meters line of sight outdoors and 50 meters line of sight indoors, and with message ability to hop up to four times between nodes, it gives enough coverage for Z-Wave uses... Normally you will only find the correct devices with local frequencies for your region. (unless you imported another frequency device from another region, and you then have to import all Z-wave devices!) Further I want to make the topic title clear so others searching for information will find it.
