> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI had several 3 yr old smart plugs from another manufacturer and one of them finally bit the dust - I tried to reset it and it totally refused to find the WiFi. I was concerned it might be an issue with my newish router, although all of my other smart devices didnt have an issue. So I set off to find a replacement with a few specific features - it needed to be heavy duty enough to run my coffee maker, it needed a built-in schedule function, and of course a good price. Voila, I found these Treatlife plugs with these features and a great price! It was so easy and fast to set up, especially compared to days of fighting with my old plug - practically instantaneous. My router was vindicated. The schedule feature works well and turns my coffee maker at on and off at different times, depending on day of the week. It works well with Alexa. Ive only set up one so far, so hopefully the rest go as smoothly. I also had occasion to contact Treatlife, and got a super fast response, which was impressive. Based on my limited experience, I would have no qualms about buying again or giving some as gifts.

> 24 hourI thought I would try these out. Glad I made the decision. They were easy to install and connect to the WIFI. The app makes it easy to program for automatic on/off set to specific times. I did have one that was bad and Amazon customer service had a replacement the next day. I guess the only thing left to consider is longevity. We will see.

> 24 hourSo functionally,. These smart plugs do everything advertised. They have the 15 amp relay , they have timers, they can be in groups, they have an app, and they can connect to google and alexa. But everything is cloud based. When you install the treatlife app, you gotta create a cloud account. No cloud account, noise having them. Once created, you gotta create a home, family, and then rooms. Pairing the device is simple, push the botton, and the app uses bluetooth to find the new device and then you tell it what your wifi password is via the app and it registers to the cloud. All the timer events are in the cloud. In fact, to turn it on, the app contacts the cloud and the device turns on/ in about 5 seconds after the button press. There doesnt seem to be an internal clock for the timer events. So if your internet is down, your timer features are gone. This is why I dont like the cloud only features. We have to assume that treatlife could be gone in a year rendering these smart outlets useless. These outlets look like many other OEM smart plugs. From experience I have also learned that these devices which need a cloud account are disposable in a year, when the cloud policies changes . And do you really want a server in china having control over your appliances. The alexa and google features basically use the local home controller to connect to their cloud to control local devices. Ill keep them, but I am still looking for locally controlled outlets with a timer. These arent them. But they do work, for now.

> 24 hourAs an entry level smart home device, this cant be beat!! Plug your floor lamp into it, you can turn it on-and-off from anywhere. Plug your old coffee maker into it, and its suddenly a smart coffee maker! Hook your crockpot to it, and you can turn it off while running errands! Put a box-fan in your window, and you can have it automatically turn on the fan when the outside temperature reaches a low level, turn it back off when the outside temperature reaches a high level. You can also set an automatic timer, after you turn it on, itll automatically turn off after any amount of time. Or, have it turn on and off at the same time of day. It has a side-button to manually turn on-and-off the device. You can disabled the side button to prevent small fingers from fiddling with it. Lastly, if you have smart switches, you can add rules to turn this on and off with the switch. Its like adding something to the circuit without having to rewire the house! (PS: Dont plug your modem/router into it, especially if you cant reach the plug!)

> 24 hourThis was a splurge for me this past Christmas - Yeah, I know, $25 isnt that much of a splurge! But honestly, I didnt know if it was going to be worth it! But after reading a bunch of reviews on a bunch of different brands of wi-fi plugs, I decided to go with Treatlife. I dont use, or intend to ever purchase or use, any smart speakers to connect with these plugs, although I considered purchasing ones that worked with Apple Homelink, but they were always more expensive. I bought this 4-pack in time to put one on the Christmas tree, and a couple other lamps around the house. The app was easy to use to get started, and it didnt take too long to figure out how to set up rooms and scenes, with multiple plugs coming on simultaneously. The best part is that with Apple Shortcuts, I can say Hey Siri, turn my light on! And bam! Its on! Thats really handy if you use Hey Siri. Also a factor was the fact that these are 15 amp plugs. I use one of them to power my home studio! (Just a small mixer and two self-powered studio monitors.) Instead of reaching around to find the switch for all three units, I tap my phone or tell Siri to power it up. (One application I recently thought of that will most likely motivate my purchase of another set of these is charging smart devices. I hate the thought of leaving our iPad charging all night, as I know this is bad for the longevity of the battery. So using one of these with a timer set for 3-4 hours would allow me to set it to charge at bed time, and know that it wont over charge the battery for the last 4 or so hours Im asleep.) I highly recommend these if you are looking for a simple product to replace lamp timers, control small electronic devices, etc. They totally exceeded my expectations!

> 24 hourI am very happy with the treatlife smart plugs overall. They work great, connected very easily to the smartlife app which gave me access to the timers and control from my phone. Once set up Alexa found it automatically (I already had my smartlife account connected to Alexa). Voice controls work great, so far timers are working great and you can make several on and off events on the schedule based on time of day as well as day of the week in the smartlife app. One feature I really like, you can control the switch with the small button on the side. So if your internet goes down or you dont have your phone/Alexa nearby you can hit the button to turn on your device. My only complaint is it is pretty wide, this makes it tricky to use in some powerstrips, but on the wall it fits fine.

> 24 hourI have two great uses for this product. The first is to power my electric fireplace. I paired a plug and then put it under the fireplace, where the control unit connects to 120v power. Then I turn on the switch that typically turns the fireplace on to start the flames. Because the plug is paired to Alexa, I can. now just tell Alexa to, Turn on the Fireplace and it works. The second place was on one of the lamps in my bedroom. I get up typically around 6:20. And at this time of the year, it is dark out where I am. So the plug automatically turns on at 6:20 AM. This paired with my soft-awake alarm always does the trick. Setting up the plugs was incredibly easy. And because I have already paired the app for other devices, Alexa knew about it as soon as the functions were working.
