Minoston Z-Wave Plus Outlet, Mini Plug in Socket, 15A, Z-Wave Hub Required, Built-in Repeater/Range Extender, Work with SmartThings, Wink, Alexa, Google Assistant, FCC & ETL Listed(MP21Z)

S2 authentication works on 700 series but can be difficult to setup

Ive been using this for a few weeks since purchase, with a couple of strings of LED holiday lights (a very small power load). I have also tested it with a three-speed box fan (inductive load), and it works without a problem. It paired with Homeseer, but during my attempts at Z-Wave optimization, I found that its Z-Wave radio performance is the worst of any Z-Wave Plus device Ive used. It can barely connect to two neighbor devices. I suspect this is is either caused by too-short antennas or internal interference or poor voltage regulation. Regardless, do not buy this expecting that it will work on a sparsely-populated Z-Wave mesh, nor that it would be effective as a repeater/range extender. If you are willing to mix smarthome device technologies, Id suggest instead using the significantly cheaper, and extremely reliable Kasa smart plugs: https://smile.amazon.com/stores/page/8163705F-9DE5-467F-8DB5-BAA56926E30C?ingress=2&visitId=e36b2ba4-c646-4d9c-b813-ca0ab76a525c&ref_=ast_bln

Ive got a few of these in the house. Set up though my smartthings app is a breeze. Controlling them though google assistant and my phone is awesome. Put one of them in the garage for a water recirculator. Will be interesting to see how it holds up to the temperature fluctuations. As of now they are great.

I bought the power-monitoring switch for a purpose. The models without this feature just works (once you learn the quirks) but Ive not had the same experience with this so-called power monitor. The data varies wildly - even if its just powering LED lights and a small network switch I see the wattage up and down dramatically so much that the graph. So I do not trust the data at all. What I now come to learn is that this switch cuts off at 10A and the only way to reset it is to unplug and then plug it back in. I have these switches in hard to reach places - this isnt exactly a good thing. Worse, its a hard reset - and I just happen to have equipment for electronics, like soldering that during the initial warm up phase (a few seconds) draws more than that, and well the unit cannot be used in that case. I actually liked that there was over-current protection, but its not adjustable and wont work for what I have. The biggest issue is if you dont read the manual - I have a few devices that I manage - Im used to add units to my monitoring network. With THIS unit, you have to time your adaption. If I didnt have a mobile phone app to access the controller, I wouldnt be able to do this in time. You need to start the adaption process on the controller, then with the switch connected do 3 fast clicks on the button before the unit will be seen and added (sometimes youll be prompted for a pin, other times not so much). If you have too much of a wait between the scan or try to do the 3 fast pushes before the scan starts, it will NOT work. And you may end up wasting a lot of time thinking the unit isnt working, like I did. But once you know this (and other) tricks, it works without an issue. Except for the wasted power monitoring feature, its a good switch. If all you are controlling is a light, then the over-current protection will be a great benefit to you.

Using about 10 of these in a large z wave network with Aeotec Z-Stick, Aeotec repeaters and other misc brands of switches and devices. Using Domoticz and Raspberry board. All and all not bad, but there is an infrequent failure to turn off or on per the schedule. No other make Im using has that issue, however, it could be the close proximity these have to each other.

By far the hardest zwave device to pair. Failed on me in the off position. Buy a Leviton instead. This is cheap junk.

Pros: Whatever dim level you set the light To it will stay there when going off and on which is great. Cons: My only hate is for the bright purple light on the switch. That purple light should be configurable to off. I used black tape to cover it :/

UPDATE 27 Aug 2022: My return window is coming up soon and I have heard nothing from messaging via Amazon nor sending email to the support email address. It looks like returning this plug is the only answer at this point. PREVIOUS 14 Aug 2022: The plug seems to have an oversensitive protection function. I plugged the z-wave plug into a 120v wall outlet, paired it to my z-wave hub, plugged a fan into it and turned it on. The fan operated as advertised on low setting, approximately 63W. I change the fan setting to medium and the plug reported about 78W. I changed the fan setting to high and the plug reported 90W. I then change the fan back to the medium setting and it appears the protection function turned the outlet off and the LED began flashing orange or red (manual says it’s red) continuously. Single presses of the program button seems to have no affect on the plug. It appears that the only to clear the power protection function is to remove the outlet from the wall outlet then plug it back into the wall outlet. At no point should the power consumed have reached the maximum ratings since this a standard box fan that shouldnt draw more than about 100W maximum. I also plugged a portable heater into the z-wave plug and found the same results. Changing the low-medium-high settings on either (fan or heater) occasionally produces transient/instantaneous jumps in wattage and/or amperage. Reported power consumption messages outside the protection parameters occurred. One message said the plug sensed 2304W and another message said it sensed 217A. On a house circuit and using a standard box fan and a portable heater, spikes of that nature must be instantaneous and transient else a fire would occur quickly after a short period of time. Yes, I have performed a factory reset, and confirmed the reset was effective in returning the plug to factory defaults. The same protection shutdown events occurred under the same circumstances after the reset. Plug seems to provide good energy reporting and may be a great plug if the load you use the plug for is a static load, single speed item, light bulb, etc. I really wanted to like this plug, but the protection function has made it useless for me. I sent an email to support, and will update this after a response or resolution. As of now, Im planning for a return.

Product worked as stated. Still working. Set up is easy but be ready to spend a little of your time to do so. My z-wave hub is a Trane XL850 thermostat/Alexa for voice commands and have had no problems with this set up. I plan on getting a few more of these.

I bought 4. 1 was intermittent and then fully dead within a few weeks. Another just died. Seller has replaced units, and I am happy. As far as getting paired with your Z-Wave Hub, make sure you have a load attached to the switch -- in other words, give it something to be doing/controlling before starting the pairing process.
