RE: US z wave kit in UK?

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was a bit shocked to see the one with re-masterable key access
(can't remember which manufacturer) was very easy to pick - plenty of
youtube vids showing how it's done in a few seconds!

I think I will get one to try with my Control4 system - though I guess just

I wonder if that was for a particular security reason or just that they

Control4 EMEA were looking at bringing the Black and Decker Zigbee locks
into the UK.

They decided against it once they spoke to Insurers who gave them a big
thumbs down I believe.
