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)

On the good side, the product is cheap enough that I didnt spend a lot of time trying to figure out who screwed up. So I guess I cant complain about their return process (or UPS or Fedex or USPS, whomever it was). The bad news is that it was supposed to trip on over-current, and instead, that one unit went toes to the wind. Maybe it was just a dud, maybe I shouldnt have been placing an 8 amp load on it (though it was rated 10 amps), but maybe the product generally doesnt handle over-currents as well as advertised.

This is a great little Zwave switch. The only hard part was trying to get my IQ4 Security panel to connect to it with the camera. I actually had to punch in the 40 numbers on the side of the box which was super easy after that was complete. It connected right away and the range is amazing. I have this sitting outside my back yard and is connected to my fountain so that i can turn on the switch with my phone and enjoy my fountain running. I will definitely buy more of these switches for around the house!!!

One of these frequently blinks blue and switches off, and also looses network connection have to then unplug and plug back in, sits quite close to my SmartThings hub

I tried pairing the switch with Home Assistant (v2022.07.07) + Aeotec z-stick Gen5 which by default doesnt support S2 or the SmartStart QR pairing thing. It just wouldnt work, tried No Security, S0 etc (this is with ZwaveJS). I have about 60 devices on my zwave network old and new and none of them had issues. I was able to firmware upgrade my Aeotec to v1.2 which gives it the S2 and SmartStart features. Then it all worked right away.

I purchased one dimming plug and two power monitoring plugs. Functionality wise, these devices have done the trick for me. However, while the dimming plug was able to successfully pair with my hub using authenticated S2, the power monitoring plugs were unable to as they were missing their stickers that include the DSK code. I started a thread with Minoston support a few weeks ago to look into my options. They replied to ask about further details, but since then have left me hanging. While I am generally satisfied with these plugs, I will consider other options in the future.

I tried several times to pair, couldnt get it working with S2. It falls off the Z-wave network frequently. Other nodes on my network are fine.

Needs better instructions especially if you want to pair this model with the manufacturers app. But once you get it working its pretty solid and a good value.

Tried to use it with Hubitat. Does not work reliably with fridge plus energy metering looks wrong.

It is, what it is. Works just as it should except the range is poor for a 7 series Z Wave device.

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.
