TREATLIFE Smart Dimmer Plug Outdoor Smart Plug Works with Alexa and Google Home, Light Dimmer APP Remote Control, Max Power 400W, IP44 Waterproof for Dimmable Outdoor Lights, Floor Lamp, Table Lamp

On the plus side, this was the only dimmer which could handle enough wattage for my application, worked with LEDs, and had some means of remote control. Minus number 1: The ONLY way to control it is through the phone app. It MUST be connected to your WiFi; therefore it has access to the entirety of your LAN, unless you hook it up to a Guest WiFI (recommended for security). The privacy policy notes that it will share whatever data it can glean with law enforcement, which, since the company is in China, means the Chinese Communist Party. It notes specifically that the laws under which it operates are not the same as those of your own country. Minus number 2: Although it claims to connect with Alexa and Google Home (I have neither, so I have not tested it), there is no way to integrate it with other home control devices. I specifically asked their tech support if there was an API, and they said there wasnt. I tried to http to its address on my LAN, but it did not respond (at least on port 80). It does integrate with IFTTT, and I have used this successfully to implement a schedule. But I cant sense its state, or control it with my home control system (Indigo on a Mac). Minus number 3: It looses much of its state if unplugged, in a power failure, or if it is otherwise powered down. It forgets its dim range setting and dim mode (there are 3 of them, which are not explained in the manual; the only way to see if one works is to experiment blindly without advance knowledge of how it will affect the load) and resets them to its default values. Fortunately it remembers your WiFi name and password. Minus number 4: The group settings dont synchronize properly. One can establish, say, a group of 2 dimmers. One then has 3 members in the app user interface; lets call them Dimmer1, Dimmer2, and Group. If one turns both Dinmer1 and Dimmer2 on, Group may still display as OFF. If one turns Group on, then IFTTT turns Group off, Group may still display as ON in the app. There are other examples of this lack of consistency, but I cant remember them and they may not even be reproducible. I havent done extensive testing.

I’m using this to connect my fence string lights to Alexa. Set up was a breeze and now I can use Alexa commands to control it and set routines.

Bought this for my classroom set of string lights after reading a review by another teacher. The app used by the dimmer switch is compatible with Alexa, which is a cool feature. It was a bit tricky to set up as you must use a 3G network to connect to the app... and our school does not have that option. Took it home and was able to switch my phone to our 3G network, then find the dimmer switch through the app and connect it. Once that was done, the switch worked at school just fine wirelessly with my phone no matter which network I used. Initially had some trouble getting it connected to the app and contacted their support team, who was very responsive and helpful. All in all, the steps are fairly easy to follow but for anyone who is relatively unfamiliar with connecting wireless devices that are incompatible with 5G networks, it may end up feeling frustrating. I can just picture my parents losing their minds trying to figure out what in the world to do. The app coincidentally connected with my daughters LED lights so now she can use Alexa to turn them off and on...something Id not really thought to take time to do beforehand.

A little bulky but it works.

Easy to use smart plug with dimming feature. The App found and added the device effortlessly. Just wish it has a slightly longer cord. but still better than having to be plugged into the socket directly and taking up the whole thing.

It is great being able to run this from your phone. The app has a lot of options and is easy to use once you play with it a bit to understand the interface. Be aware though, that if you are going to use this with lights that have their own control box, it may nor work. I tried using it with Philips 70 mini lights - 8 color and motion effects. Even with the dimmer set to 100% these lights would not turn on at all. On Standard and LED Dimmable strands though, they work well.

I was dubious about loading yet another app but it was fairly simple to setup and use. I can still operate manually as well. The ability to set on/off and dim setting schedules is great and will buy more of these for other applications as I think of them. I have a mesh router so connectivity is no problem.

Bought this to control my new outdoor patio hanging lights. Works perfectly! I set it up using the Tuya Smart app (which I already had, that controls many devices in my house). Plugged it in, fired up the Tuya Smart app, and the app immediately recognized it as a new device and allowed me to add it. I am able to remotely turn the lights on/off, dim and schedule them. Works with Alexa via the Tuya Smart skill. No issues picking up the wifi signal in my backyard.

I dont know what happen but it only worked twice. It was nice, but since Ive tried again with no luck. Unfortunately, I got busy and missed the return time.

I thought the item wasnt working and they sent me a free replacement and then I discovered I wasnt using it correctly. Originally I thought it was just a on and off but it (as I found out) is variables speed and if you slow down low enough the item I was using it on wouldnt operate acting like it wasnt working. My apologies to the company selling this and am willing to pay for the 2nd one. Thanks
