Pictures made it look like these were about the same width as the outlet cover plate which would have been fine, but looks are deceiving. I need them to fit inside an electric box which is wider than the cover plate and these are larger than the plate. Its a shame they dont provide dimensions. Ill see if I can use them somewhere else.

Great product

I have been using Treatlife Smart products for several years. I believe that between switches, plugs, dimmers and lights I now have seven of their products. The Smartplug four pack was a no brainer to purchase. Most of my house is run on Alexa usable products and these Smart plugs were found immediately by my Alexa app and are currently running four different devices. I used these Smart plugs for dusk to dawn security lighting. The one thing I am most happy with is that they did not lose their settings during a short power outage we had last week. Some of my other plugs required me to reinstall them. The installation process was very easy and all worked on the first try. I have not had occasion to use the Child Lock feature but will report back on it if I do. As with most products, you get what you pay for. The price of these Smart Plugs was extremely reasonable and if they are like the other Treatlife products that I have, they will last for a very long time. I am very pleased with this purchase and do recommend them to anyone looking to set up a smart home, especially using Alexa.

We were using several mechanical timers that were not very accurate and would make buzzing noises. These smart plugs are smaller, quiet and have accurate timers. The app uses Bluetooth initially to identify the plug. You then connect it to your wi-fi (make sure to have your wi-fi password ready). Setting a schedule was a bit confusing, the on/off indicator is strange. You set the time first, touch on/off, change it (to on or off), then confirm (the app says Confrim) and then touch Save. Once Id programmed the first plug, the other three were easy. I have not tried grouping the plugs. You just need the app on your phone to set/control these smart plugs. You do not need Alexa.

As a disclaimer, Treatlife offered these products for evaluation. I really like the small form factor. The other outlet remains available for a many cord types (such as a computer cord or power strip). A number of the smart plugs that Ive tried always block the 2nd outlet. If you have a large wallwart that almost blocks the next plug, then it probably wont fit next to this device. I also really like the current rating on this device. Im used to seeing 10A ratings on many devices at this price point. With a 15A rating, this can safely switch high power devices such as space heaters. As a test, I plugged an electric kettle into it. After boiling some water, the switch was still working fine and I didnt feel any heat coming from the switch. The one weakness I found was the Treatlife App. Its not quite as intuitive as a number of the competitor apps. For example, Im used to being able to long press on a device to bring up advanced options such as setting a schedule. Instead I simply got an error message about BLE not being supported. Additionally, its very obviously using the cloud when turning on and off. I frequently was running into 3-5 second delays between changing the state in the app and when the device actually responded. Finally, for folks who like to use open source local control (such as Home Assistant and Tasmota), it doesnt look like these plugs are supported yet. Update: I just noticed that this plug seems to have much better range than my other smart plugs. I was seeing intermittent connections at around 60-70 from my router. Relatively stable connection (minor packet loss) at around 45 from the router. At the same time, I noticed that a scheduled turn on didnt work when disconnected from wifi.

I used it control my indoor and out door Christmas scenes. The timer scheduler option is very good and it works with my google home. Two things I didntike. First there are two apps on Google play market, one of them will work the other dont. So if they can just add a QR with link with one works would be great. Second some times the pairing to the app doesnt work from the first time so running the discovery couple of times more and the app was able to catch. Other than that it is v.good product so far.

First of all, they dont integrate directly to Alexa. They require a seperate app to initialize and a skill for Alexa so they can talk to their server. Their signal is weak and devices within 50 ft of the router dont always respond.

I really like this product. We utilize a lot of lamps in our house. This product is a perfect fit for turning those off and on at desired times of the day, through the automated smart function. One thing I particularly like is also being able to turn off and on, the same device, multiple times per day, for example a few hours in the morning, and a few hours at night. The automation software is pretty self explanatory, but the directions that come with the product do not go into how to program the devices. It only took about 5 per device to set the timer functions. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for smart functionality at a good price. I have used other products from this company, that are also working well for me.

Siempre es difícil la configuración... No sé si es por el lugar.. pero no ha Sido facil.. la aplicación no permite que se configure.. es más. No los logré configurar y los tengo guardados en la caja..
