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 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.

The plug is not 45 degrees offset... its just a straight old plug, which means the cord does not hug the wall but rather sticks rather far out from it. On top of that, joining to a Z-Wave network using Hubitat, this item is recognized as a Zooz double outlet. After research in the Hubitat user community forums, found how to connect this properly (its quite a workaround), but it shouldnt be that difficult.

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.

The module works great as intended. No problems for me. However, it seems to integrate a bit differently than other modules I have used. So read and save the directions to avoid issues later on! Once the directions were followed, the module joined my network without issue. Time will tell on the longevity of the module, but initial impressions are good.

I liked them because they were ZWave and then, they were the only few I can easily add to SmartThings. Outside Christmas lights season they sit in the box unused. Two out of three died just before Christmas 2021. I am not sure what the warranty is. This is bad for outdoor plugs that are not used often! I went to check their support time in my order details. Surprise, too late to complain: Return window closed on Jan 20, 2021 Product support window closed on Jun 19, 2021 bought these in December 19th 2019. They have been in use less than a total of 60 days! One is still working but 66% failure rate is terrible!

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”
