Physical Installation & Safety
01
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Mount on a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet under cover, 2 ft above grade and inside 2.4 GHz coverage.
02
Step 2: Mount the Plug
Hook the keyhole slot over the supplied screw and anchor so the receptacles face down.
03
Step 3: Connect the Load
Plug the fixture into the plug's own outlet, cap the free socket, and keep tungsten under 5 A.
04
Step 4: Verify Power and Metering
Pair over Bluetooth, let the load run a minute, then confirm the wattage reading matches the fixture.

Troubleshooting FAQs
Direct solutions to common network, protocol, and pairing questions.
Q: Does the metering need a hub?
A: No. It is Wi-Fi and reports through the Minoston app, Smart Life, Alexa or Google. There is no Z-Wave radio and no hub involved.
Q: The wattage reading is much lower than expected.
A: Check the load type. A pump or compressor has a poor power factor, so the plug reports real power, which is lower than the VA figure on the nameplate. That is correct behaviour.
Q: How far can it be from the router?
A: About 300 ft in open air, limited by your Wi-Fi at the outlet. A pump house or detached garage behind two walls usually needs a mesh node or an outdoor access point nearby.
