Minoston MP21ZP Z-Wave Energy Monitor Plug Review

A Z-Wave energy-monitoring smart plug for existing hub-based smart homes, with scheduling and repeater functionality but no direct Wi-Fi setup.

The Minoston MP21ZP is a Z-Wave smart plug for households already using a compatible Z-Wave controller. Its headline features are on/off control, reported energy-use data, scheduling, and its role as a powered Z-Wave repeater. It is not a standalone Wi-Fi plug: a Z-Wave hub is required before app or voice control is available.

Who It Suits

This outlet is most relevant when you want to add a lamp, fan, or another suitable plug-in device to an established Z-Wave setup while also keeping an eye on its electricity use. The listed 800-series Z-Wave chip, SmartStart support, and S2 security may be useful considerations for buyers building around newer Z-Wave equipment.

Before You Buy

  • Confirm that your hub supports the plug and the functions you expect. The listing names SmartThings, Hubitat, Vera, Z-Box Hub, Fibaro, Ring, 2GIG, and HomeSeer among compatible platforms.
  • Allow for the cost and setup of a Z-Wave hub if you do not already own one. The product page says it cannot connect directly to an Echo Plus.
  • Check your intended device and local electrical requirements before using a smart outlet. The listing specifies 125 volts, but does not provide enough detail here to establish suitability for high-load appliances.

Cross-Border Note

For international buyers, check the final delivered price, plug format, voltage compatibility, warranty coverage, and return terms for your destination at checkout. These details can vary by location and seller.
