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)

Needed an outdoor z-wave outlet to power a set of string lights. Naturally i looked for the cheapest, since everything z-wave is still expensive and came across this guy. Worked great using a generic driver in Hubitat, but ended up reaching out to support with a few issues i had and they sent me a link to their gethub page with their drivers. Fixed my problem.

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 now have three of these, and love that they just work. You just need to take care to keep the socket end out of any rain, otherwise it fills up with water. It paired easily with my ZWave network and remains connected even when quite far from the house. This has enabled me to put my pond on a schedule, and with additional automation turns the pump off when the water is low.

Bought 3 of these to use on lights in the yard. Be sure to install them so they are not buried in a bush or too far from another z-wave device. Once I did that they have worked without issue.

Product connected to Vera Edge but get “Failed at: Setting Special Association”. Switch will still turn on and off but app thinks there are failed devices. Cannot find anything on Vera’s help about what a special association is. Resolve the special association error by changing Automatically configure to “No”

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.

does the job

Paired easily with my SmartThings hub, and it goes on and off flawlessly as directed by the routines I have set up. Very happy!

Works well with Alexa and Smarttthing hub. Using 2 of these to control garden fountains.

Easy set up
