I dont think you can get a V2 with NZ Frequencies. So V3 is really the only option.

Thanks.

Is there any better alternative to Samsung which supports more devices and cheaper as well as safer to use?

I ordered two Smarthings Wi-Fi from OZ. Acts as a hub and mesh Wifi setup. Came with a bundle of Smartthings sensors too.

Got through RAVC but looks like they have stopped selling them according to the bottom of this page...
