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)

As others have pointed out, the plug is not a flat 45 angle as described on the box. This was not a deal breaker for me even though the flat plug would have worked much better. As for the device itself, I was able to pair it on my first attempt with a Vera hub. The Please Read sticker said that it would auto-include upon plugging it in for the first time so I was sure to have my hub in discovery mode when I plugged it in.

The product has a hard time reaching the Smartthings hub. I had to bring it into the house to pair it up and it works outside about 50% of the time. The unit is placed in the garden lighting transformer box, so leaving the door open to the box, works great. Closing the door on the box, can connect. Just barely on the cusps. All my all devices work fine around this unit. I will need to modify the placement of this and then it should be fine. Other than that, product materials look well made and product came to me pretty quick.

I purchased these to use with my Hubitat system. They work well once you get them to bind to the system, but are a royal pain to get the system to recognize them. Once they bind however they work fine. The power measurement capability of these work nice as well. You are able to read the line voltage as well as the power being consumed by the devices plugged in. I would definately buy these again.

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.

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.

I use this to control an outdoor fountain. I have been using it for a few months now and it works flawlessly. It also reports energy usage which is great. They have a two outlet version but unfortunately they dont report energy usage. Hence, I need to look for a different brand/solution.

This was an awesome plug. Works as stated and am happy I can connect to my phone and control. 100/10 would recommend

I have paired it to Smartthings was easy enough, then moved to outside about sixty feet from the hub, it was not repairing on the smartthings outside so then i un plugged again put closer to the hub and it paired up put it back out to the location and it paired to smartthings. But afterwards it kept dropping off. Not going to work for the application to turn on a battery charger in my rv all winter.

I added this to my SmartThings hub easily. Installed outside (it’s in an eave of my house) to control outdoor string lights. I created an automation for the lights to go on after sundown and turn off before midnight. Integration was easy as with all my other SmartThings hub devices for Alexa voice automation. I have another outdoor zwave plug that I bought a few years ago that I use for holiday lights. This one is more compact and more cost effective.

Did not connect reliably to SmartThings. Showed it was added as a device but had trouble connecting/using device and broken “cloud” icons. Returned.
