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 use this with my ring ala hub. Install quickly, it was easy to write a routine for . I purchased this one for the Christmas lights outside.

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!

The manual on/off button works just fine, and thats where its consistency ends. The manual (available on their website) clearly says how to pair and reset the outlet, except its wrong. (Click the button 3x quickly to pair, click 2x then hold on the third press until it turns off to reset it) Once paired, I could only get the outlet to turn on or off via the SmartThings app maybe 10% of the time. The app has connectivity because it shows if the light turns on or off if I use the outlets button, but then Ill unplug it and it still thinks its connected. Returning, probably replacing with GEs Z-wave+ model

Has worked the way its supposed to. Integrated with Alarm.com app.

This outdoor Z-Wave switch is great for water fountains and outdoor lights. The unit can handle extreme hot and cold temperatures, has a very long distance range compared to other devices that Ive tested

I connected this with my smartthings and it works great. Makes it super easy to automate outlets with smartthings and alexa. Im planning on getting a few more in the future.

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.

I had a fairly easy time setting this up in SmartThings using the QR code provided with the unit. In SmartThings, I can see it as an outlet, and I can see the cumulative electricity used. In Google Home, I can only see it as an outlet that I can turn off or on. I dont see where the company that manufactures the unit has any app with additional features or information. So I think its just the information you get though whichever Z-wave home hub you use. But its staying connected and doing what I want it to do (which is tell me how much power my outdoor plug-in hybrid car outlet is using so I know my cost per mile).

I got this to replace a failed GE plug that I was using in the backyard. I found that connectivity was intermittent and needed to relocate it/switch it with another outdoor plug I had. Bottom line is, it works fairly well, but it needs to be closer to your home for it to work reliably, whereas I have found others (like the GE plugs) that seemed to have a better range.

I had no trouble pairing this to my Z-Wave hub (ISY994i), the instructions were fine. It worked well, too, and I appreciate the outlet cover for when it is not in use. For my purposes, the lamented lack of a right-angle plug (the product photo now shows the correct straight plug) was a slight irritation, as that would have been nice, but ultimately not a major issue for me.
