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)

Bought this a month ago, plugged it in, set SmartThings to discovery mode, waited for a few seconds for pairing, configured the on/off times, and it has been working flawlessly since then.

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.

Using it for some outdoor low voltage lighting. Working great. Setup was easy with Hubitat.

It was difficult to get it to pair initially. Took a LOT of attempts and I almost gave up. Once it did, it works great. But it shouldnt be that difficult.

I have bought 2 of these MP22Z Z-Wave Outdoor Smart Plugs. I set up one of them and after it was added to Smartthings following the instructions the actual device page showed two question marks and a message which says “Couldnt get device status” see screen shots. I emailed the company and they were responsive. They were not very helpful, and after 6 emails over 2 hours I have given up and I am returning the two MP22Z Z-Wave Outdoor Smart Plugs. I do not recommend these for Smartthings use.

I purchased two in 2021. They operated well first year but now the manual switch is failing, this makes it difficult to include or exclude from the z-wave system.

This originally did not install as two separate controllable outlets in SmartThings. I contacted the seller and promptly received a response with instructions to install an edge driver. I had follow-up questions and each time appreciated quick answers.

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

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.

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).
