So far it works good.

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019

I really like to automatically turn off all the lights in the morning.
My wife and kids always leave the lights on and I'm tired of throwing money at the electric company.
I leave for work before wife and kids leave for work/school, and if I come home for lunch, no one is home and all the lights are on. I believe this feature to automatically turn OFF all the lights WILL SAVE ME MONEY in the long run, especially since electric rates are going up. I set all the switches to turn off at 7:15 AM everyday.
Issue I had with initial set up was connecting smartphone to switch, I to take my phones protective cover off and placed phone right next to switch. After that, connecting wirelessly works great even when I'm away from home. I set random on and off times for the various switches, outside lights, inside lights, wall outlets that radio is plugged into in addition to the all switches off at 7:15 AM (except for the radio). I have purchased 23 switches, dimmers, and 3-way switches.

Regret purchasing - lights flicker, poor quality in general and questionable marketing

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020

These dimming switches are inexpensive but I'm afraid you get what you pay for. I immediately had one light at the end of the circuit flicker if full power was applied at the dimming switch. Since it was only one of many lights and the flickering stopped when less than full-power was applied, decided I could live with these switches.

In the meantime I figured I'd take advantage of the seller's offer, which was placed in the packaging of this item, for a free dimming switch or 3-way switch. Since I purchased several of these units I had multiple offers for free switches. Typically sellers don't honor multiple free giveaways to the same customer, so I inquired with the seller. I explained that I had no 3-way switches in my house that needed to be replaced, so would it be okay to get 2 of the dimming switches instead? If not, no big deal, but don't even bother to send the 3-way switch to me as I have absolutely no use for it whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the seller is a non-native English speaker because after multiple emails back and forth I don't believe the seller ever understood what I was asking for. The seller kept coming back and telling me they weren't willing to send 2 free products to me, which I understood and was perfectly fine with. The problem was that they kept trying to get me to buy their 3-way switch, which as I explained multiple times to the seller, I have absolutely no use for. Bottom line in terms of the offer: I never got ANYTHING for free from them, not even a single dimmable switch. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now that a few weeks have gone by I have more issues. For one, multiple lights now flicker and I have to turn the power down to about 50% to stop the flickering. It's so dark I can't see now, so I have to replace these switches.

Furthermore, there are tiny LEDs on the switch itself that indicate the amount of power being applied. No power = no LEDs on, full power = all LEDs on (there are 7 LEDs that show power level). I purchased these units on September 27, 2019. It's now December 31, 2019 and several of the LEDs are now burnt out and not working. See attached pictures.

Bottom line: Spent a couple of extra bucks and get quality switches. These switches are low quality. And don't bother with seller's offer for free additoinal products from them.

My Favorite Smart Switch.

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

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.

My first smart switch dimmer

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2019

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

Received, connected all wires (neutral line needed), connected to 2.4G wi fi easily, organized the box switch, and put the plate on (come with screwless wall plates). I can adjust brightness on the switch directly (like touch pad) or use app to adjust it. I can add multiple schedule thru "Smart Life" app. It has been working well since it was installed on 10/5/19. I will update the review if it stop working

Great dimmer switch! Very easy to install. Many different settings for compatibility.

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

These switches were very easy to install and look great in a multi-gang box, or as a single! The box only comes with plates for single installation. There are some good youtube videos online on how to install switches. The only difference between these switch and traditional switches is that these switches have a white wire that needs to be attached to the other white wires as well. If the switch/lights don't turn on when the power is resumed, you probably need to swap your black wires.

They have a touch-slide interface for manually adjusting the brightness of bulbs. They also have an increasing turn on and decreasing turn off, as not to startle or blind you as they turn on.

The software has a great easy-to-use interface for changing the brightness of the lights, or you can simply ask your digital assistant to do it for you! Additionally, you can set up daily schedules to turn on and off the lights, or set up smart events that are related to other devices in the house. (If you turn on this switch, turn on other smart lights or smart bulbs in the house)

You can set a minimum brightness, to avoid low-voltage flickering on some bulbs. There is also 3-different dimming modes. I can't really explain them, but playing around with it, I found that some modes offered a smoother dimming then other modes, depending on the type of bulbs it's used with.

Make sure your bulbs are dimmable, and don't use these on any other device besides lights. Don't dim smart bulbs with a smart switch.

Reliable, easy-to-use, Alexa enabled smart dimmer switch

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I recently installed 4 smart dimmer switches from TreatLife in my home this past weekend. The one that will get the most use is the one in my dining room that I can now turn on and off and set brightness levels with my voice via the Alexa integration. It's no touch which is no joke in these pandemic times!

Installation for these switches is generally pretty simple. What can make it complicated is the existing wiring and/or limited space you may have after removing the existing switch. Remember, these wifi switches do require more room that "dumb" switches. That may make it a little challenging to install. Despite the challenges, I've never had an issue getting these done.

I've also included a video to demonstrate the installed product in use!

Excellent Smart Dimmer Switch

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

I received this four-pack of Treatlife smart dimmer switches and was immediately itching to try them out. I replaced an existing dimmer switch that controlled three dimmable fixtures in my bathroom. The installation was fairly straightforward. This switch requires a neutral cable, which I had to fish out from the back of the gang box. (Always turn off the power at the breaker to any device you're working on. You getting shocked is very painful.) All the connections are made with the provided wire plugs. The unit installs in half an hour (with trips to and from the breaker box) with a screw driver and maybe a pair of pliers. Integration with Alexa was almost immediately. I had already had the app and Skill installed, and Alexa actually notified me of the new device before I even knew it was functional. The switch just controls electricity at the one location where its installed, so I can't address each of the three light fixtures individually. The switch has a physical toggle on the bottom side, and a touch-based slider to manually control the dim. Of course you can also just tell Alexa to control it too.

Overall I'm very happy with this product and can't wait to install my next switch in the kitchen (after I get rid of those awful fluorescents.)

Nice looking, easy setup, good value switches

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2021

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

These switches are really nice. I like the touch sensor dimmer control and the way it displays the current intensity setting, even when off.

I've installed a couple from other brands, and while the wiring itself is pretty much the same, getting them up and running seemed much easier than the others. I haven't measured, but the switch body seems a little bit smaller than the others, which is important while trying to cram the wires and the switch back into the box. That's the hardest part.

I did find that at least one of the other smart device apps recognized these and will control then, too. Just in case you don't want to many apps just to control your different devices.

I had already added the skill to Alexa, so when a switch was added to the app, it auto-magically showed up for Alexa.

I'm installing these on all the dimmable LED lights in the house.

Easy to set up and install

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

So I am in the middle of replacing most of my lights with treatlife switches because they are reasonably priced and are easy to set up and the support is really good. Some notes
Pros:
Easy installation. their instructions are step by step and completely relevant. A lot of times I get half done instructions where I have to guess parts of it. On this, the wires are all well marked and color coded. the connections are properly tinned to make wire nut install easy. they are tinned so well that you can even use the pushin type wire connectors and even get them back out if needed, with a bit of work. It comes with the wire nuts and screws and faceplate, but any standard faceplate will work as well. As a note, before you buy this though, you have to make sure the power is in the switch box, not the light fixture. Open the box, pull out the switch and look for 2 white wires connected together, but not to the switch. you should see the black wire from one of the incoming wires connect to one part of the switch and the other black wire to the other part. If instead you see only a single pair of wires in the box and each connected to the switch, this WILL NOT WORK.
Programmability. It can be programmed! You can add a number of schedules, to turn on and off at specific time. It works like google clock set up, real simple. You can also turn this into a timed switch, so it will auto turn off after any programable time, say 2 min after turning on, or 20 or whatever.
Dims low without any flickering. If you have flickering, try another of the three modes and it will stop, as long as you have dimmable bulbs. This is the primary reason I bought these, to dim further.
The faceplate is screwless, it just pops right on. If you put it on and there is a gap, then push a bit harder until it clicks on. the cutout on one side tells you which side is the bottom. Very easy and fast and looks better than my old plates. the plate edges are squared and sticks out about 1/4", so it looks sleek.
Connecting it to google Home. first download the treatlife app and follow the instructions to set up. then in google home, connect a devise that works with google, find treatlife, log in. The light will not work properly in google home until you move it to a room, so don’t freak-out if it says it is not responding before you put it in a room. You can run the lights independent of the internet or the app, in case you loose internet
Support. They are very active in promoting their stuff, but I wanted to see what would happen if I had a problem. When setting up one of these, I did not realize they had to be in a room in Google home to work correctly, so I fired off a sternly worded email. They replied professionally with specific questions they needed to help me diagnose the problem…within 2 hrs! I was impressed. I have no doubt they would have sent me a replacement right away if it was defective. But I have purchased 12 items from treatlife with 0 defects.
Negative: the switch makes an audible sound when turning on or off, but it is not too loud. there is also a bit of a delay between telling google what to do and it doing it, but still not too bad.
it is easy to accidently dim the lights when turning it on, as the switch dims by sliding your finger up or down the center. Not a big deal, but a little annoying

User friendly and great functionality!

At first I can't the bills quality want so great, but after using them I like the clickablity a lot. I bought some gosund ones also that have a more solid feel but those you can't adjust dimness until after it's on and it had to go on to previous setting. These you can adjust the brightness to any level before turning it on.

The app, I use smart life and it's compatible with many smart things, but once in it the UI for the switches are different from this switch and the other. With this switch you can adjust types of dimming and minimum level. Other brand mentioned you can't.

Now I've had mine for over a year both dimmable and regular switches and they work as good as the day I installed them. But be careful to not squish them into the wall boxes or you might have the button not work properly, ran into that before.

So in a nut shell, these are the best on the market, they did get cheaper than when I originally bought them and if you have the time and know where your circuit breaker is, go ahead and have a smart home. Only takes a few minutes to program and your done! Love them!

Also the company does care about getting good reviews and backing their product up. I had originally have them less stars, but have since learned that in my opinion they're better than gosund. And they do last.

Treatlife dimmer has a modern high tech look and operates smoothly.

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021

Number of Items: 4Verified Purchase

Although I haven't installed the Treatlife dimmer into my home yet (under construction), I was able to run a test of the product using an extension cord and light. It may be a few weeks until my electrician runs the romex.
This dimmer was easy to wire up, nothing complicated,
and the enclosed instructions are comprehensive, showing the different wiring circuits that can be used with the dimmer. The touch control is very smooth from 0-100% brightness. The dimmer also can be controlled by your Alexa devices. (does not apply to my situation however)
I was concerned that the dimmer color (white) would look weird next to my other light almond switches & outlets,
but it's hardly noticeable. I light the modern look of the dimmer and the cool faceplate. The faceplate has a premium and durable futuristic design although you can use your own GFIC style rectangle cutout faceplate instead.
The price is reasonable and the quality is very good.
