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)

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

does the job

Bought this a month ago, plugged it in, set SmartThings to discovery mode, waited for a few seconds for pairing, configured the on/off times, and it has been working flawlessly since then.

Have used it for Christmas lights and throughout the winter thus far with no issues. Very reliable and weather resistant. Good response to my z-wave hub and responsive to remote commands. Wish the unit was a little smaller so could fit into some tighter windows and pricing of the z-wave unit is a little higher than the WiFi only version. Overall - its a great outdoor smart plug for your z-wave integration but make sure the size is ok for you. If you dont need the z-wave radio would look at the WiFi versions for lower cost.

For some reason, this switch seems to turn off by itself in high-current situations. The switch is rated to 15A, and I have a device that can draw ~10.6A continuous. There is an over-current, over-voltage, and over-load metrics that also come from the switch, but none of them are triggered when this happens. If it isnt 15A, dont call it 15A. It seems to hardly handle 10A.

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.

Had to move this unit closer to my hub. Once I did that it worked reliably.

PITA to get SmartThings to recognize. Had to do custom install. Unreliable in SmartThings app unless you open the device control page. So, once added, & w workarounds, seems to do what I tell it. Have NOT tried using timer functions in SmartThings app. Turn it on/off via app on demand, not automated.

This product was easy to install and integrated perfectly with Smartthings (which I will not recommend) and Alexa. We used this to smart control our outdoor Christmas lights.

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.
