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)

Product connected to Vera Edge but get “Failed at: Setting Special Association”. Switch will still turn on and off but app thinks there are failed devices. Cannot find anything on Vera’s help about what a special association is. Resolve the special association error by changing Automatically configure to “No”

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 thing is an incredible disappointment. It will not stay connected to the Z-Wave Network. I even have Z-Wave devices within 20 feet of this Z-Wave Smart Plug that are capable to being repeaters and it still does not help. Every few days I have to go outside and manually press the switch on the device a few times on and off to get it to start working with the Z-Wave hub once again. Then it works for a fews days before it fails to work with the network once again. So much for home automation if you have to go outside and turn it on and off manually. I would look elsewhere for an outdoor switch. This one is too unreliable.

Good performance. No problems

Using it for some outdoor low voltage lighting. Working great. Setup was easy with Hubitat.

Easily added to hub and works well for controlling/dimming outside cafe lights.

Needed an outdoor z-wave outlet to power a set of string lights. Naturally i looked for the cheapest, since everything z-wave is still expensive and came across this guy. Worked great using a generic driver in Hubitat, but ended up reaching out to support with a few issues i had and they sent me a link to their gethub page with their drivers. Fixed my problem.

Paired easily with my SmartThings hub, and it goes on and off flawlessly as directed by the routines I have set up. Very happy!

Easy to setup and connect. I have multiple Alexa’s and built in smart hubs through my ring and Eero systems. Allows outdoor automation of lights outside from both my Alexa’s and phone. No more getting out of bed to shut my lights off when my family forgot.

I purchased this after going against the 1 star reviews as I have used a huge verity of Z-wave devices with my Alarm.com Z-wave module and like to try out whatever is available on the market. I cant say this enough : Read the instructions! SO many bad reviews from people who just did not read how to use this device. Unlike many other z-wave outlets, there is actually a slightly different method to setup. Rather than just a button push during enrolling, there is a button long press to get into learn mode on the device. Once in learn mode, I strongly recommend putting your hub/bridge/gateway/z-wave receiver into DELETE mode and letting it run through the cycle (this is recommended for ALL z-wave devices during initial setup). This sets the device back to factory and removes any potential binding information from when it was tested at the factory. THEN repeat the process and go into LEARN mode for your z-wave receiver. After adding this device from about 10 feet away, I left it about 60 seconds, manually switched the on-board switch on and off a couple of times and then relocated it to its final position around 20 feet away outside. I have it controlling string lights and a bug zapper. It works just as quickly as any of my GE/Jasco/Linear/Aeotec Z-wave devices and is a decent price. I have ordered more as I have not had any issues with this device and the price is right.
