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)

It was easy to add this to my z-wave hub. Put my hub into add mode, press the button and it showed up. Its responsive and have been working well with the heavy rain that weve had.

Have the GE version of the same, and use them side by side. The Minoston version works just as well (same response time, etc) for my outdoor lighting.

Has worked the way its supposed to. Integrated with Alarm.com app.

Im disappointed with Home Seer and Z-Wave overall. The connection is unreliable and intermittent.

I added this to my Brinks security system and have it on automation for my garden lights to come on and off automatically at set times.

My Abode security system that has a built in ZWave gateway and so far this outdoor plug works well with it responding quickly and reporting its status but Ive had recurring issues with the connection being temporarily lost and regained during heavy rain and snow. I suspected a weak signal and placed an indoor Zwave plug to act as a repeater on an outlet midway between the outdoor plug and the gateway in a room sharing the exterior wall that the outdoor plug is on and it still occasionally has issues when it gets coated with water. The switch is not shorting out and the power stays on, it just loses the connection and reconnects after a short time.

Easy to connect to Smartthings hub.

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.

It was difficult to get it to pair initially. Took a LOT of attempts and I almost gave up. Once it did, it works great. But it shouldnt be that difficult.

Seems to work fine with Hubitat. Im using this to dim a set of 4 GU10 LEDs that make up the canopy light on my aquarium. Seems to work fine, there is occasionally a weird flicker when changing dimmer levels, but otherwise its rock solid.
