NOTES
- No power adapter and no external antenna in the box
- This is not a 433 MHz unit. Use the RFX-433EMC for 433.92 / Somfy RTS / KAKU-style devices
- Somfy IO is not supported
- On the RFX-868 only one receive protocol can be enabled at a time. You can still transmit other supported 868 protocols
- Check the RFX MQTT User Guide (chapter 12.2) before you buy if your exact model is listed
- MQTT firmware and RFXmngr are not used at the same time
- This is not an older RFX868XL / RFXtrx868. Those use different firmware
-
US customers: do not buy this for use in the United States. The RFX-868 transmits on 868.30–868.95 MHz, a European short-range band. It is CE marked for the EU and is not FCC authorized. In the US that frequency sits in the 851–869 MHz land-mobile allocation used by public-safety and commercial radio, not in an unlicensed band. Operating it here can violate FCC rules. The protocols it supports (Itho, Orcon, FS20, Edisio, EU weather stations) are European devices anyway. US installs should use 915 MHz gear, or the RFX-433EMC only for 433.92 MHz devices that are legal to operate here.
