Minoston Z-Wave Plus Smart Plug, Outdoor On/Off Outlet Switch, ZWave Hub Required, Weather-Resistant, Built-in Repeater, Work with SmartThings, Wink, Alexa, Black(MP22Z)

The module works great as intended. No problems for me. However, it seems to integrate a bit differently than other modules I have used. So read and save the directions to avoid issues later on! Once the directions were followed, the module joined my network without issue. Time will tell on the longevity of the module, but initial impressions are good.

The unit integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant and Z-wave. Convenient monitoring of power consumption and line voltage right within Home Assistant. Mine performs perfectly inside the house, but due to having aluminum siding and metallic low-E windows, the signal from my Z-wave dongle doesnt reach the outside location very well. This is not a shortcoming of the unit; just be sure to have a good path thats not shielded for RF. It is a very capable switch as long as it gets a good signal from your Z-wave hub.

Things I loved: The outdoor rating and energy monitoring capabilities. Compact size for outdoor unit Things I am disappointed by: It didnt make it 6 months before dying. It randomly was turning off, and now it turns off immediately after turning on. Product range was not as good as other zwave devices. It would occasionally completely lose contact with my hub Difficult pairing in smartthings Despite installation at the end of 2022, no Edge driver in smartthings

This device has preformed flawlessly on both ADT Pulse and Hubitat z wave controllers. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a z wave outdoor portable dimmer outlet. I use it to control a string of LED outdoor patio lights using Alexa voice control and home automation routines.

I am using the newer series 700 Silicon Labs hub with Home Assistant, and this device allowed me to reliably connect to my pool house about 100 feet away through 2 walls. Had it out in very heavy rains and so far no issues with water.

I didn’t want to spend $80 on the Lutron version of this. For closer to $20 this works well if you have a Z-Wave hub at home. It paired immediately with a SmartThings hub and easily tied into Google Home. Can’t really complain for the price, which is more than I can say for many other cheap WiFi outlets that tend to lose connectivity or phone home.

So easy to set up a smart home features using the Zwave system. Everything is tied into our alarm app for access to every light and outlet from one app only. Best thing is, if alarm is tripped for any reason, all lights within the Zwave system will turn on for added security.

The product added into my VERA controller fine with using Generic Zwave Device. Shows as urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:BinaryLight:1 . Since my VERA is already synced with Alexa showed up there and can control with my 3 Alexa Show 8s. Cheaper the GE outdoor unit and has worked flawlessly out in the weather.

I now have three of these, and love that they just work. You just need to take care to keep the socket end out of any rain, otherwise it fills up with water. It paired easily with my ZWave network and remains connected even when quite far from the house. This has enabled me to put my pond on a schedule, and with additional automation turns the pump off when the water is low.

Worked for about 12 months, the reception range is pretty poor, so you need to have it no more than 15 feet or so from the z-wave hub. Failed completely now, completely doesnt respond to and on/off commands.
