Minoston MP21ZP Z-Wave Plug Energy Monitor

A hub-dependent Z-Wave smart plug that combines switched-outlet control, reported energy monitoring, schedules, and repeater capability.

Our take: Consider the MP21ZP if you already rely on a compatible Z-Wave hub and want energy reporting alongside basic outlet automation. Its value depends largely on hub compatibility and the usefulness of its monitoring data in your chosen platform; it is less straightforward for buyers seeking a direct-to-Wi-Fi or hub-free plug.

What works: Reports power or energy-use data through a compatible app or controller, 800-series Z-Wave platform with listed SmartStart and S2 support, Can extend a Z-Wave network as a powered repeater, Supports schedules through a compatible Z-Wave setup, Listed for Alexa and Google Assistant integration through a hub
Trade-offs: Requires a separate compatible Z-Wave hub, Cannot connect directly to an Echo Plus, according to the listing, The source does not establish suitability for high-load appliances

The Minoston MP21ZP is a plug-in Z-Wave outlet designed for remote on/off control and app-reported power or energy-use monitoring through a compatible Z-Wave hub.

According to the product listing, it uses an 800-series Z-Wave chip, supports SmartStart inclusion and S2 security, and can act as a repeater for a Z-Wave network. Schedules and Alexa or Google Assistant control depend on the connected hub and its integrations.

It makes most sense for an existing Z-Wave household that wants a compact outlet control point with energy data. Buyers starting from scratch should factor in the required hub and verify compatibility before ordering.
