Excellent product. Power supply needs setting for UK operation.
ROBERT -- aliso viejo, CA   8/17/2003
Product did not work as expected. Manufacturer's technical support was not adequate. Ultimately returned product. This has nothing to do with Smarthomes support and service. I am a returning customer.
