I was very happy this plug just worked. No smartthings firmware BS, I just plugged it in and searched Minoston in smartthings. Very Nice!

Works as advertised. Needed this type of cord setup for a tight spot and z-wave protocol. Integrated well with Abode Security Hub.

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.

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.

I use these with Hubitat. They are easily adopted and just work. I dont have to fiddle with them at all, which is nice. Theyve held up to the elements well and Ive just purchased a few more to control Christmas lights and an inflatable this year.

Ive been trying to get some serious electrical monitoring going, sometimes also automations based switching, and these units have turned out to be my go-to for my outdoor applications. For the most part, I have one of these on every outdoor outlet in my home so I can capture electrical usage. I use Home Assistant for my home automation platform and generally prefer the Z-Wave protocol. When I first started buying these, the units were not fully enumerated in HAs Z-Wave-JS platform, but those issues have since been resolved. They are fully compatible with the energy monitoring features of HA and also work well for switching applications. The units have been generally reliable, quick to respond and meet most of my expectations. I have run into issues with devices that have a high startup/inrush current, these things are not compatible with this particular switch. When using them in these cases (e.g. air compressor, shop-vac, etc.), these units will pop and automatically turn off. This is probably good in some cases, but I am certain these situations are nowhere near the danger zone of popping breakers. Ive had to find other energy monitoring switches for these applications. Despite the limitation above, I have tested these units up to about 1200 watts with no troubles. They appear to handle serious electrical loads, even though they they dont deal with high inrush current well. One other con? As mentioned, I have several of these (about 8) and all of them do intermittently go offline for unknown reasons. I get unavailable events in HA several times a day. My Z-Wave network is very robust, so I know its not that, nor do I see this on any of my other 40 some-odd Z-Wave devices. Despite these events, this problem has never affected the operations of these devices. They continue to supply power and it hasnt (yet) interfered with any of my automations. Im guessing this might be a firmware fault, or some other issue, but it hasnt caused me any troubles. A few examples of how I use them? I switch on/off Christmas lights for the holidays, based on sunset and sunrise times, as well as time of day. Ive also started using these to control my block heaters for my vehicles. I can now apply a ton of intelligence to this by taking into account outdoor temperatures, specific times, work schedules and so forth. (Or, just start my block heater manually without going outside!) I also monitor heat tape on my home, allowing alerts if no electricity is used when temperatures are below certain values and the heat tape should be running. I also really like that these units monitor & report on over-voltage, over-current and general over-load situations. These events are enumerated in HA. I actually used these capabilities to troubleshoot a faulty extension cord recently, a situation that had escaped other diagnostics. You can almost think of it like a smart circuit breaker of sorts, a step well beyond standard breakers and even GFCI circuits. Overall, these are solid 4-star outdoor rated switches with built-in energy monitoring. Despite a few problems I have observed, they perform well for me and provide me with robust automation and energy capture capabilities. If youre looking for robust outdoor monitoring & switching capabilities based around Z-Wave, these arent a bad way to go!

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.

Product failed after about 30 switch cycles.

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.

Easy to set up and connect via Alexa and my alarm system. I would but again. A little pricey but a good item.
