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 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.

Used with Smartthings hub. Paired with no issues. Used to turn on and off christmas lights outside. No water issues shorting out. I did mount so where lights plugged in was facing down so water would not get it.

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

I have this plugged into the outlet at the side of my garage to control the landscape lighting. I got it configured with Smartthings easily enough but every week or so it has gone offline to where I cant control it in the app and so I have to go out and try to re-add it again. Hopefully these are initial teething problems that stop occurring.

I am using this smart plug to control my patio lights through Amazon Alexa. Very easy to connect to my SmartThings Hub using the SmartThings App on my phone and pressing the button on the smart plug 3 times. Alexa discovered the new device immediately. It is about 30 feet from the hub and about 15 feet from another Z-wave switch. Like the flat angled plug as it does not block the other outlet where it is plugged in. Easy setup, weatherproof, good value, and works as expected.

Easy too install into my alarm system. It is 50’ off a salt water creek. If it last another season it will have exceeded my expectations.

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.

Easy to add to my Google home. Handles the load of my pool filter. I gas exceeded my expectations.
