On Amazon, the referenced plug is about $27 - much cheaper than the Aeotec smartswitch 7, but I am not 100% sure if all z-wave devices will work with the Zooz stick and IoP

I am using the MP21ZD with IoP.  I used the MP21ZP and MP21ZD with the ISY994.  IoP with the Zooz stick seems to work better than ISY994 with the 500 board.  The Zooz stick seems to have better range.

Both the zooz stick and modules are 700 series so you would see greater range than with the 500 series dongle that comes with the isy

That's good news - I ordered one - looking for a low cost alternative to the Insteon On/Off module - the plastic on those things is really flimsy and several have broken - with IoP+Zooz stick, Zwave is now a viable option

So did you receive it yet. How do you like it?

I've been searching for a plug-in dimmer where the load outlet is facing down or left/right, not straight out. So far I'm liking the Leviton DZPD3-2BW Decora Smart Plug-in Dimmer with Z-Wave Technology, White, 1-Pack. It looks to be similar in style to the Insteon Dual Band 2457. It Z-Wave Plus so not 700 series as yet.

I like them - ended up buying several and am using them mainly for controlling some lamps, plug in lights and fans - some are part of lighting scenes and work fine with Insteon equipment except for a small delay turning on/off -  I like the fact that they are small and only cover 1 of 2 outlets - range is not an issue - I have them working in a few locations around the house - the only bad thing is they emit a blue light which is noticeable if it happens to be on in your bedroom at night

I don't use them but like many other Z-Wave devices, you can modify the LED operation and brightness. It's described under the Advanced Options section on page two of their installation manual: https://www.leviton.com/en/docs/DI-000-DZPD3-02B-W.pdf

I have a different brand's plug and have a program that turns on only the LED during sleeping time when there's motion instead the lamp. It's so bright, it works like a night light.

Good tip, setting parameter 1 to value=2 (1 Byte) turns off the LED

 

I tried the Minoston Z-Wave Mini Smart Plug Dimmer (MP21ZD) a while back when I started playing around with Z-Wave on my IoP.  The price point was good so I ordered three of them just to try things out.  One of them quit working after a month or so.  I tried emailing the vendor for support but got no response.  Maybe I just got a dud, but given my experience I don't think I'll be purchasing any more of them.  

Been using the dimmer model (MP21ZD - D for dimmer) for about 2 months, so for works great!  Bought some more, both dimmer and switch versions, but have not deployed them yet.
