wappinghigh Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Right that is it. Correct me if I am wrong..? I have been a loyal Control4 customer for near on 5-6 years and there is STILL no 230/240V plug in Zigbee or Zwave Control4 individual GPO solution?? (without getting a puck wired into the wall behind every GPO?). Why do customers living outside North America have to put up with this? I live in a "connected home" as well you know> Can you PLEASE do something about this? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Not available AFAIK... Leviton Z-Wave VRPA1 Appliance Module is just 120V? like the inhouse Zigbee C4 solution.. And YES this is a "biggie"..because it is so DARN irritating.. How would you feel being treated like some sort of 2nd rate HA citizen for near on 5-6 years! (simply because you have 230V power)! haha/! Buyers strike! I flattly refuse to upgrade my controllers till Control4 DOES SOMETHING about this! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk Why does everything have to be "about: the market"?.. blah blah.. I've heard this nonsense before.. How hard would it be?..knowing this new Zwave module is coming out in the new controllers.(.that would have been planned for months..probably over a year) How hard would it be for someone from Control4 to say hey..how about we do a 220-240V GPO plugpack as well? Belkin can do it.. etc etc.. it's not always "about the market". Sometimes it also about showing a bit of nouce that ...hey wait a minute. Aren't there other people ...(yes and they might even be intelligent people as well ) interested in HA living outside the US?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no market, that means there are not enough people interested in purchasing it, so why would they spend time or money developing, testing, certifying and producing a device that there is no market for and will sit on shelves collecting dust?

Thank you why not use Alan's driver for the Orvibo WiWo-S20? those are available in a 220 ver? and about 1/4 of the price of the c4 outlets. http://www.chowmain.co.nz/orvibo-wiwos20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found it's more reliable that way.. These are to be used for control of critical devices like heating, cooling, wine fridges, water pumps, other alarms etc.. if control of a light fails... not a big deal.. but a wine fridge or water pump ?
