Hi, I would say yes on the voltage. If you go that route, Make sure your Output Voltage is right (Also It's micro usb). What I would be concerned about is the Lag you would get. SmartThings is cloud based. So all communications would go from Europe to the States (Amazon Servers I think) . For a quick example. I have a motion sensor in the hallway. It has one basic function. Turn on hallway light. Even in the States, I'm sometime two or three steps in hallway when it comes on. If I was in Europe I could be at the other end when it comes on. :( Also I think Europe has different z-wave frequencies. I would wait until they get there Euro server going. Just my 2 cents. I hate it for ya, because SmartThings is so Awesome.

I don't think so since Europe has 220 volt or watts instead of US 110 volts unless you use a transformer.

If You buy it in US it is 120v single phase, so it will work.Don't buy in Europe!

The manual that came with the system says it will work with AC 100V-165V or AC 180V-265V 50/60Hz, on the controller itself it says 100-240V 50/60Hz, so it should work anywhere. Mine came with a US grounded cord, I don't think that cord will work in Europe. I don't see why this system wouldn't work over there, with an adapter for the plug.

Different European countries have different voltage currencies, however if you bring a voltage converter and plug adapter for the region you'll be in it should work fine. I took it to India and had no problem using it with my converter and adapter.

You should be able to purchase a converter to change your local voltage (240v) to 120v. I'd be pretty sure you could buy this locally in Europe.

Darya. This item comes with a standard 5V DC (110/120V) power supply. If you are using it in Europe, you just need a voltage converter from 120 to 240 and it should work fine. I don't believe it has an auto switch inside so you cannot just use a plug adapter. Hope that helps.Sam

Yes,of course , if you buy european version. If you have US , 110 V version like I have , in europe - you need to have power 220/110 transformer.This "baby" works great with it.

I don't know....220 is usually for Europe, etc....you have to ask an electrian or where you buy or bought it.

I believe you'd need a converter, but I'm not that familiar with 220v. Is that what is used in Europe?

If you reside in Canada, yes. europe you would need a converter and a round pin plug. I live in Canada and just love it.

Remember this item is 110v and won't work outside the US. Most European countries are 220v the UK and Ireland are 240v. You can't use an adapter and a transformer would be too expensive as they eat up electricity. They have these in other European countries in most hardware and DIY stores like OBI or Hornbach in Germany, Homebase or B and Q in the UK and Ireland.

all 110 appliances will work in Europe. They are on 220, just purchase a "transformer", very common in Europe.

Hi! I checked the power requirements on the unit and it's designed for 110V in the US. You'll need to use a voltage converter to 220V with sufficient wattage to use it effectively in Europe.

It will work. There is no electronics, just copper cable and socket. You just need plug converter and 220v bulb

Yes. I took it with me to Europe this summer and the input voltage was 220v and it worked fine. This will work for input of up to 240v. When you plug it in to charge it the base of the unit is a transformer so it adapts automatically. You may need an adapter to plug it in to charge it. Depends on the country you're visiting. You can buy a multi one at amazon or radio shack. They're inexpensive.

You havn't stated what country you plan to use it in, or why you don't have a 120VAC source. which makes a difference. You can get what you need from Amazon (search Amazon, get the best price) or go to: www.220converters.com/store/, and select "travel voltage converters". Be sure to get two things or something that combines the two functions: the plug adaptor to be able to plug in, which will depend on your country, plus the voltage converter that converts from the power characteristics you have to 120VAC, 60hz.
