Important Compatibility Information

The RFXCOM RFX-868 is not a universal receiver for every 868 MHz device.

Operating on the same frequency does not automatically mean that a device is compatible. The wireless protocol, communication method, and supported functionality must match the RFX-868.

Always check your exact device and protocol against the current RFXCOM compatibility information before ordering.

Also note that receive and transmit functionality depends on the supported protocol. Some devices may support receiving only, while others can support both transmission and reception.
