Minoston Z-Wave Plus Outlet, Mini Plug in Socket, 15A, Z-Wave Hub Required, Built-in Repeater/Range Extender, Work with SmartThings, Wink, Alexa, Google Assistant, FCC & ETL Listed(MP21Z)

These are easy to connect but do not stay online. have to manually power them on to get them back on Home assistant. I would not recommend.

Worked with Nexia/Trane Home

I tried pairing the switch with Home Assistant (v2022.07.07) + Aeotec z-stick Gen5 which by default doesnt support S2 or the SmartStart QR pairing thing. It just wouldnt work, tried No Security, S0 etc (this is with ZwaveJS). I have about 60 devices on my zwave network old and new and none of them had issues. I was able to firmware upgrade my Aeotec to v1.2 which gives it the S2 and SmartStart features. Then it all worked right away.

S2 authentication works on 700 series but can be difficult to setup

I was looking for an easy and affordable way to add my low voltage lighting systems in the yard to my Vivint hub to control. I got my installer code from Vivint and plugged in both devices and with three quick clicks they added to my Vivint system without any problems. Now my LV lighting is part of my smart home system with very little cost or effort. Ill definitely buy more of these as I continue to add more devices.

I used this with my Samsung Smarthings hub. The plug sits in a corner behind a couch about 45 feet away from the hub or even farther as I also use it in my front yard to turn on/off Christmas lights. The hub is like 5 feet from the backyard. Both outlets can be turned on/off individually. There is also a button to turn the plug on/off manually so this can be operated even if your hub is not working. Pairing with the hub is very easy and I didnt have any issue. I stored this plug with the Christmas lights at the end of the season and 10 months later I plugged it back in and poof it works without me to re-pair or anything. Overall Im very happy with this plug.

Frustrating little thing. I’ve got around 100 devices in my z-wave network so I’ve had my share of tricky devices to pair. This one takes the cake. I set out to pair this with my SmartThings (Aeotec, the latest) hub. Followed the instructions for the custom device handler, attempting several factory resets, exclusion mode from my network, inclusion mode from right next to my gateway, trying scan mode pairing vs the QR code first... nothing was working. Finally, after a couple hours of trying, the device decided to respond to the inclusion request and join the network… but it wouldn’t update its status to the hub. It would react to commands and turn on, dim, etc, but never report back that they were completed so the app would always show the switch as still turned off. Removed it and re-paired it (this time It only took about a half hour of constantly retrying), and now it’s working fine. After all this, though, wondering how it’ll hold up! I’d recommend buying a different dimmer that plays nicer with z-wave!

As advertised. Set up was easy and they work well.

I use it with Z-wave not Alexa, first of all, and theyre not rated for outdoor use. Its been a little tricky to set up, because it apparently doesnt have great range. Until I put in some Z-wave repeaters some of the plugs were intermittent in turning on and off, and the hub mesh diagram doesnt show them reliably meshing with other Neo plugs even if theyre in the same room. With the right setup, though, they work well. Theyre not so big as to block the other outlet when you plug them in, they support higher-current usage (13A) and theyll report load, which is nice if youre drawing somewhere close to the limit and dont know it.

I bought the power-monitoring switch for a purpose. The models without this feature just works (once you learn the quirks) but Ive not had the same experience with this so-called power monitor. The data varies wildly - even if its just powering LED lights and a small network switch I see the wattage up and down dramatically so much that the graph. So I do not trust the data at all. What I now come to learn is that this switch cuts off at 10A and the only way to reset it is to unplug and then plug it back in. I have these switches in hard to reach places - this isnt exactly a good thing. Worse, its a hard reset - and I just happen to have equipment for electronics, like soldering that during the initial warm up phase (a few seconds) draws more than that, and well the unit cannot be used in that case. I actually liked that there was over-current protection, but its not adjustable and wont work for what I have. The biggest issue is if you dont read the manual - I have a few devices that I manage - Im used to add units to my monitoring network. With THIS unit, you have to time your adaption. If I didnt have a mobile phone app to access the controller, I wouldnt be able to do this in time. You need to start the adaption process on the controller, then with the switch connected do 3 fast clicks on the button before the unit will be seen and added (sometimes youll be prompted for a pin, other times not so much). If you have too much of a wait between the scan or try to do the 3 fast pushes before the scan starts, it will NOT work. And you may end up wasting a lot of time thinking the unit isnt working, like I did. But once you know this (and other) tricks, it works without an issue. Except for the wasted power monitoring feature, its a good switch. If all you are controlling is a light, then the over-current protection will be a great benefit to you.
