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)

I have two of these. I use them with my home automation system to turn on/off Christmas lights in the winter, and a water fountain and my patio lights in the summer. They work nicely and aside from the below challenge I had adding the second plug I received. Note that Id previously had issues connecting this device to Home Assistant running ZWaveJS. It appears that in addition to have the smart plug plugged in, you also need to have something else plugged into IT when you begin the Add Device process.

Things I loved: The outdoor rating and energy monitoring capabilities. Compact size for outdoor unit Things I am disappointed by: It didnt make it 6 months before dying. It randomly was turning off, and now it turns off immediately after turning on. Product range was not as good as other zwave devices. It would occasionally completely lose contact with my hub Difficult pairing in smartthings Despite installation at the end of 2022, no Edge driver in smartthings

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

I bought a few of these for Christmas lights. It was super easy to add to Samsung Smartthings app and integrate into my routines. No issue whatsoever. I like the compact size and seems to have just as good of quality as the GE outdoor outlet.

The good: it connects to Home Assistant very nicely, and supports the S2 or non S2 protocols flawlessly. Its pretty straightforward to use, and theres plenty of verbose config documents with the item. The bad: It frequently bugs out. I couldnt identify why, but it will stop responding to Z wave commands after 15 or so hours. It requires restarting the device to get it to work wirelessly again. For this reason I returned mine.

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.

I have this plugged into the outlet at the side of my garage to control the landscape lighting. I got it configured with Smartthings easily enough but every week or so it has gone offline to where I cant control it in the app and so I have to go out and try to re-add it again. Hopefully these are initial teething problems that stop occurring.

Product from manufacture is not the same as product shown on box and in listing. It does NOT have the 45 degree plug or the 90 degree angle for the wall for strain relief. It is simply a straight plug, nothing special. (See Attached Photos) The box the product came in shows the angle plug features but the included item although the make, model all match the box the product itself does not match. The product itself works GREAT and I will consider buying more but the seller should open a few of these boxes first and then update their listing (This is fault of the manufacture not the seller) but regardless they should update the listing. I wanted the 90 degree angle plug and this was one of the reasons I was excited about the product but it isnt a deal breaker for me so only slightly disappointed but want to make it clear for others what to expect.

I purchased this outlet to give me the ability to control a submersible pump I placed in the pool for emergencies when Im out of town. I set the pump up with zWaveJS on Home Assistant with the other 40+ devices on m zwave network. It seemed to operate fine during the day or two I tested it. The pump was setup with an automation to turn it off after it ran for 15 minutes. I left the pump in over a weekend and when I came home I found that it had somehow turned itself on and drained thousands of gallons of water out of my pool. I fortunately got home before it could have caused catastrophic damage. There is absolutely no log in zwaveJS or Home Assistant of the pump turning on or running while I was out of town. Someone this thing turned itself on. DO NOT BUY THIS

Easy to add to my Google home. Handles the load of my pool filter. I gas exceeded my expectations.
