Is this switch auto-sensing? If I plug in a lamp to it, can I turn this switch on by turning on the lamp toggle switch?
Michael P

BEST ANSWER: No. You must leave the lamp toggle in the on position and then control the on/off with whatever automation app you use.

That is a great question when it comes to functionality. I just checked this model you are inquiring about and the other two models of these lamp plugs Monoprice offers and none of these 3 auto-sense. The best you could do to accomplish this functionality is to locate the plug close enough to the item plugged into it and, easily accessible so you could push the small button on the plug unit to manually turn the device on.

No, it can't sense whether something is plugged in or not. When it's off, there are no power stats.. There is a small button on the top of it that you can use to turn the outlet on and off, so you could just press the button when you plug something in? After it's on you can get power stats from your z-wave hub.

No it's not auto-sensing. You have to push the button on it to turn your lamp on, or command it via Z-Wave. BTW, these switches are great for the low cost. The power sensing isn't super accurate, but you can't beat the price for a Z-Wave switch.

It is not. You can leave the switch on and turn the lamp on and off but the switch would remain on. If you want to control a lamp a zigbee or z-wave bulb is a better fit in my opinion, you can dim them, plus you can get them in color.

No. I don't know of any devices which work like this (detecting closed circuit on load), although they may exist. Some smart devices turn on when the wall switch is turned on (e.g. many smart bulbs and the old X10 socket rocket).

This device can monitor current draw measured in watts. Many controllers can translate the change or meeting of a predetained threshold into an actionable event. But no, it will not turn itself on sensing a demand.

Where is the power button located and does the unit block the other wall outlet? Could two units work in one outlet?
A shopper
on Jan 29, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The power button is on the top. If I plug this into the top socket in my outlet, it's easy to use the bottom socket for something else. You would need to make sure your outlets are installed right side up, ie, that the ground is on the bottom not the top.

There's one button on the top center of the unit. Press it once to manually toggle power on or off. The button is also used to reset, pair, and unpair from a Z-wave network by using long holds or rapid pressing of the button. All of this is in the microprinted included manual.
The only way to use two of these units in one two outlet receptacle would be to either plug a power strip in the bottom receptacle and plug a 2nd unit into the power strip or better, use a short 1-foot extension cord "liberator" like Monoprice part number 5296 and plug into that.

I haven't tried yet to see if the button on the top lets you have local control, but now, you would not be able to use two in one outlet without some sort of adapter. . .you can use the top outlet and still have access to the lower outlet, but the plug is three pronged so you can't turn it around in the plug.

The power button is on top near the USB ports. It would take up one space on a duplex receptable; and you can plug something else into the other outlet. However, you cannot plug two of this into a duplex receptable.

What is the maximum wattage for appliances? I have tried a washer and dryer separately running around 700W and it shuts off in 2 seconds.
Jimmy C
on Jun 2, 2017
BEST ANSWER: According to the spec posted on monoprice, it is rated for 15A and up to 1800W resistive load. Typically switch device like this is NOT rated for motor or HP load, which is what you have when powering a dryer or washer. Although it may still work (I assume it uses an internal relay switch) the power consumption meter will sure be inaccurate if you try to measure something with a motor / hp load. Therefore I would not recommend using this for something like a dryer for sure because today's dryers are usually rated at 30A.

BEST ANSWER: This does not answer your question directly but might help. I'm having the same issues when connected to SmartThings hub. 100w bulb was showing close to 2000W on this outlet. As the outlet has a shutoff when the wattage gets too high (i.e. documentation says 1800W), it often shuts off. Essentially unusable for anything more than a small lamp, and I bought 10 of them. Computer is too much; TV is too much; small appliances are too much. Fortunately I do have lamps I want to use them for around the house, but I'm not sure if I'll use 10... Some seem to have lower cutoff thresholds than others, but all of mine report the wattage absurdly high. I reported it to Monoprice and they offered to let me return them, but didn't know why it was happening or what to do about it. If you or anyone else does find a solution please share!

Does this also turn the USB charging ports on and off, or only the AC socket?
I'm asking because I need something that I can program to turn on and off periodically to keep some battery-powered devices charged up via USB, and would love to avoid having an extra USB wall-wart to do so. Anyone know of any z-wave or zigbee SmartThings-compatible devices to directly do this with? (as opposed to just using an outlet and an AC charger.)

Don't forget one of the most important differences: This squarish one keeps the USB ports ON. The rounded one changes the USB port power status as well as the socket.

Can this product be used as a replacement to a timer? If yes, how does it work or command it to turn on and off at a certain time if I connect a lamp to it? Also, is this compatible with a Google Home Mini?

BEST ANSWER: Yes, compatible with Google Mini, but you'll need a hub to control the switch. I use Samsung Smart Things. In the Smart Things app, you can set timers, even set it to come on at sundown. Lots of options.

Yes and yes, but only if you connect this to a smart hub. I have mine connected through Smartthings and am able to set timed actions as well as use Google Assistant to control it.

How do I get in touch with manufacturer for updates and feature requests? As per other users, need to request reduced chatter over ZWave network. Maybe store and forward wattage results every 1-15 minutes?

Great until it looses contact with the control unit.
I bought 2 of these and one works flawlessly.
The other one looses contact with the control unit and has to be unpaired and re-paired on several occasions, with the Z wave controller. I believe the problem is in the unit --I have asked for a RMA replacement of this unit.

Great functionality for the cost
I plugged my sump pump into it. Now I can monitor how frequent it runs helps me to diagnose in problems with drainage around the house. Love the usefulness for that low cost.

All good after 1st defective unit replaced
Received the Z-Wave receptacle and it paired with the controller after several failed attempts. Once paired it would not turn on the table lamp. I could manually turn the receptacle on and off with the button on top, but could not with the Z-Wave controller.
I was issued an RMA and received a replacement that's working fine now.

I have a bunch and they all work great
I don't have much use for the USB ports but I like the one/off button being on top and the indicator light when the outlet is powered. This is one of my favorite z-wave outlets. What I'd like to see, however, is them replace the USB ports with an extra (but always) on outlet.

A lot of promise but shortcomings were expected/exist at this price
Using 2 of 3 so far - Monitor under 300 watts fairly accurately, bust as soon as my device starts pulling 400 watts the outlets start reporting wildly inaccurate numbers (over 1500 watts for example) Easy to setup, easy to configureSpams the Z-Wave network, sending thousands and thousands of updates even after changing threshold settings it likes to still report about every 5 seconds. I think adding a third node could turn my 40 device mesh into an unresponsive messUsb ports are just a joke @ their low amperage they're useless for even a microcontroller let alone a phone or something Audible hum on the second outlet I have tried is annoying - was using it to control a fan and now have to find something else outside of the bedroom to control

Loud Hum under USB Load
Keep this one away from your bed, or out of the bedroom if possible. The inductors in the USB power section hum like crazy.Otherwise, it works as advertised. Easy pairing to Z-Wave.

Does not report Wattage Correctly
From what I can tell whomever coded this thing did not calculate the wattage correctly. They used milliwatts and not watts. I had calculated my 60 watt bulb from another couple of outlets that do report it correctly and the conversion is milliwatt.. This can be fixed if they provide the code so it can be uploaded to the unit. Hopefully someone from monoprice is reading this and can take it to someone to get this resolved.. i only paid 10 bucks a piece for them. Will keep them for lamps only until hopefully gets resolved.
