TREATLIFE Smart Dimmer Switch 4 Pack, Single Pole Smart Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home, Neutral Wire Required, 2.4GHz WiFi Dimmer Light Switch for LED, CFL, Incandescent Bulbs

My Favorite Smart Switch.
I have owned a multitude of smart switches ever since I got Alexa three years ago. I went for big brands (WeMo, TP-Link, Lutron) but have always hated myself for spending so much money on them. This is not to mention how laggy and awful most of them performed (my internet is 250 MBPS by the way). I have a lot to say about the TreatLife smart switches so I shall break my review up into sections for your sanity.-Ease of Install-These switches were extremely easy to install. I am saying ten minutes per switch maximum. You must make sure that your home has the neutral (white) wire and have enough room in your electrical box for a dimmer. Always remember to shut off power at the circuit breaker before attempting any work yourself, and if you are uneasy, call an electrician. Hardware is provided, such as screws, wire nuts, and a single gang wall plate. Some of the bigger brands were way harder to wire up and some didn’t even give hardware. Also unlike other switches, it works with any decora wallplate (not just the supplied plate).-Looks and Feels-I love the style of this dimmer, it is just simply beautiful to look at. Some other dimmers I have tried don’t look nearly as nice as this one. I absolutely love the touch dimming slider and the way it glows. On standby, the night light/ indicator light at the bottom will be lit and one led will show the level that the dimmer is set to. When on, the night light will turn off and the dimmer will again show one led indicating its level. When you touch it, it brings a solid bar up to the light level it is set to. The construction definitely feels like some cheap plastic, but that is like every single switch in the market. It’s not nearly to the point where I feel like I’m going to break the thing.-Control-The main on/off button sounds and clicks like my mouse, and is very likely a similar button mechanism. Not necessarily an awful thing, just something to get used to. The touch panel for the dimmer is the coolest thing ever. I very much prefer it over a traditional button or slider. It adds that little futuristic touch, you know? A double press of the main button sets the light level to minimum, which is a pretty cool built-in shortcut I use a lot.-Wi-Fi Connectivity-Setting up the connection and pairing to my smart home accounts was a breeze. It automatically goes into pairing mode upon the initial power-up. Resetting is simple as well, all you need to do is hold down the on/off button for several seconds. You will know it’s in pairing mode as the night light/ main indicator will rapidly blink red. Once paired though, it will hardly give issues. I have six of these, four are close to my router, and two are very far. I had mentioned earlier that my WiFi speeds are in the 250 MBPS range, but for the farther switches, it can dip down to about 20 MBPS. There was only one instance where one switch lost connection but overlook it as it has not happened again in over a year. The worst that happens is a slight (5-second max) lag when turning on from a phone, although very uncommon.-Alexa and Google Home Integration-Honestly one of the easiest for Alexa and the Google Assistant to pair. Alexa automatically adds it to the app without even having to go into device discovery mode. I will admit I use Alexa way more than Google, so all I can say about the Google Home is that it will turn on and off the device. As for the Alexa control, I know for a fact she can power on/off, dim to any percentage, and integrate routines. My absolute favorite routines that I have made is an alarm that gradually brings up lights and one where if I say “Movie Night” it switches my nightlight led trim downlights (recommend you look those up, they are very cool) and dims all the lights to 10%.TL;DR: Just buy it. It is a fantastic switch and you will love it as much as I do.P.s. I know the walls in the pictures attached look ugly with their gaps and uneven surface, that’s on the list of fixer-upper projects. I originally was not going to attach a video but I did last minute.

Great product, provides a good solution to control our lights
Make sure the wiring works, fortunately ours did and the product was very easy to install. We did not have easy access to turn on and off the lights in the living room and basement. This was an excellent solutions, can leave the room and turn off the lights from our bedroom, we are really happy with the system.

This company seems to be picking up cues from Apple and Google – the product is very clean and well designed from the box, to the instructions, to the app, to the look and functioning of the switch in the wall. Extra steps were taken to make it easy for a homeowner to install without having to get an electrician.Small details show a lot of thought was put into this product. The dimming experience is slick. It shows multiple lights going up at first to indicate the level, then it drops to just one tiny light showing the level so you don’t have a line of LEDs glowing unnecessarily on your wall. Also, there’s a small led when the light is off so it’s easy to find in the dark. The box is also generous with the marettes you’ll need for installing.Excellent product.

It’s been a week since I installed three of these dimmers in our playroom – loving them so far. The packaging, labelling, and the units themselves are really well made.I had to adjust our “old work” 3-gang electrical box to fit them, since the bolts holding the gangs together stuck out far enough within the box to interfere with the body of the dimmer (they are bulky for a reason, so make sure your electrical box is not of the crammy utility type). A quick pass with a metal file on the bolt shanks helped remove the obstruction, and the wiring was straightforward.Linking the devices with the Smartlife app takes seconds – all three dimmers were detected in 1 scan. The slick app even allows you to adjust the range and dynamic response of each unit based on light type, as well as lock the dimming range if need be. We use Google Home as our smart home management app, and integrating the switches via Smartlife likewise was a breeze. The touch sensors on the button face respond instantly, and the lights adjust via the app without any noticeable delay. Great job Treatlife!4/5 stars, only because of a few minor things:- While the switch build quality is on the level, the button is seated rather loosely compared to that on single-pole “rockers”, and tends to wobble from side to side easily. Not a big performance concern, since you aren’t likely to manipulate the button in this manner, yet a potential area of improvement.- One of the dimmers powered a fluorescent bulb that I will soon be replacing with a dimmable one, so I temporarily locked the dimming range of this unit at 100% to prevent light flickering. The range did stay fixed and cannot be adjusted from the face plate, though the white LED indicator on the face somehow remained at the lowest point – I had expected it to stay lit at the uppermost, at 100%.- Dimmer settings and configured range are reset whenever you cycle the breaker or after a power outage. This may be a bigger inconvenience when you have a dozen of them in the house and need to reconfigure all at once. An integrated LiPo element could have made the memory setting independent.

When I first bought these back in 2020, they were great. Setup with the app definitely took alot of trial and error. Frustrating but I did eventually get it working. They worked great for years but the smart aspect of them don’t work anymore. Smart Life app will not recognize the light switches no matter what I do. Setup is too difficult with lack of support. Do not recommend, try a different product
