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

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.

Update: Customer service is very quick and already have a replacement on the way! I absolutely loved this box! For 29 days! Until a few days ago it started acting strange and now it’s 1 day past the return window and I can’t return it for a replacement. I’ve reached out to the company so we will see. Will update if the company replaces it!

Paired this with bright tech outdoor lights. The app also n this thing is super user friendly and I couldn’t imagine having anything else. This thing is tough and has been in our enclosed back porch for a year with absolutely no issues. It had a lot of use over the summer months and can’t wait to use it again!

who ever thought dimmers were so different? this one has smooth linear dimming, from barely lit to full brightness as you would expect. the Kasa was not linear in its dimming and strangely only reached about 80% of full brightness. weatherproofing seems similar but I didn’t test. both connected easily to my network and respective apps. TreatLife has great customer service, can’t comment on Kasa.

I had this dimmer on my patio. It worked well for about 9 months then the dimmer feature quit working . Treat life accepted responsibility and sent me a new one that works great . I was very happy with their quick response

Ok, lets start with the good. It definitely works with SmartThings It definitely works with Google Assistant Now that I have it installed and have my patio covered in string lights, I love it. Now the bad: Last night when I was trying to get it working with SmartThings, I was not loving it... at all. It you have SmartThings and want to use this Treatlife outdoor dimmer, read this first. Setup an account with Smart Life first, download the app. It looks like a little house with a blue background and two waves on the roof. This is the first hurdle, it is in the app store from Volcano Technology. I kept looking for it under Tuya, thats who used to make the app. Add the device as a dimmer switch wifi. The picture wont match the device, plug in the adapter to an a/c outlet, the light should blink. Now let the app search for it, now it will add a device that looks like what you are trying to use. Now go into SmartThings and add the device, search by brand for Smart Life (two words), then choose outlet. Youll see a message compatible but not certified in United States click on the Smart Life icon, select your location and room. It will all you for your account info, this is why you set up the account earlier, you cant do it here. If everything goes ok, it should say successfully connected to Smart Life. Now the device can be configured in SmartThings, and used like any other device. If you have SmartThings linked to Google, have Google update devices and it should show up in the Google home app. I hope this saves you the hours I spent putting these pieces together.

Everything works great, app on cell phone easily controls dimming, time setting but I would like to set the dusk to dawn but cant figure out how to make it work. Havent taken the time to contact the manufacturer/seller. Im sure its probably a simple setting under scenes but cant figure out how to save the setting. If you are tech savy this is a good device for you.

I love this product so much Ive even bought some for my friends. The app is simple and easy to use, youve got a ton of options with it, and I can preset everything so that I dont have to worry about it. Schedules, routines, brightness, theres nothing this thing cant do. I would highly recommend getting this for your lighting needs!

I have two of these and enjoy them. One stopped connecting to the app. I appreciate the customer service I received to resolve the issue.

I love the functionality of the smart switch. I had an issue with one of the units I bought and contacted customer service and they addressed my issue quickly and efficiently. I would definitely buy more of these smart switches.
