TREATLIFE Alexa Smart Plug 4 Pack, 7 Day Heavy Duty Programmable Timer, Works with Alexa and Google Home, 1800W 15A WiFi Smart Outlet, Child Lock, Vacation Mode, Reliable WiFi Connection

This is the second set of TreatLife products Ive purchased. The first was a set of 4 light switches. The value and ease of use of those encouraged me to purchase these smart plugs when I needed some recently. As you can see in the picture, I am using it to control a space heater. That heater is located in my workshop. The other morning (before the smart plugs) I came out to find that heater running. I forgot to turn it off the night before! Bad news. Fortunately, nothing happened, but I immediately searched for a smart plug so I can set up a schedule to turn it off automatically every night just in case I forget again. When the plugs arrived (the next day wit Prime shipping), I opened them up and followed the written instructinos. NOTE: The instructions for the plugs say to download the TreatLife app, which I did, but wondered why I didnt already have it given the prior set up of light switches. Turns out they changed the name (at least) from SmartLife. I tried logging into the new app with my existing credentials, but it didnt recognize them. I pulled out the light switch instructions - how I found out the app name changed - and ran SmartLife. The old app recognized me and also recognized the new plug quickly and set up was just fine. Connected it to my Google Home devices, set up the nightly schedule, and now I dont worry about burning down my shop any more!

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.

Easy to program

I am completely impressed by the ease, simplicity, efficiency and cost of these smart plugs! I originally started with TreatLife products with their Outdoor outlet to control my outdoor lights around my firepit. It required me to download the app to install and integrate into my Alexa environment. Fast forward 6+ months, I finally decided to upgrade my 1990s plug-in timers for my Christmas lights. I ultimately decided to go with Treatlifes smart plugs because, as much as I enjoy having 5 different apps and brands, I wanted to minimize the number apps that I required to manage my smart home products. So, I went with TreatLifes smart plugs. They arrived nicely packed and protected with easy to follow instruction sheet contained. Since I already had the app, installation was really easy. Figuring out scheduling, pairing with my other plugs to create groups was as simple as can be. Alexa discovered them immediately and I can turn on and off all my Christmas lights by the schedule or through Alexa. I have not used the child safety feature nor the LED shut off, but I can see how those would be beneficial. Overall, these are exceptionally reasonably priced plugs that provide the same capability as other smart plugs. Ive realized that TreatLife has numerous other products in the smart home line that I will continue to explore. Their user interface is simple and their products are reliable, especially for the price. I recommend this product and this brand.

I love how convenient these plugs are. I use them for turning on Christmas lights, lamps, TV, entertainment center and curio lights all with a simple voice to Alexa! Another great feature is you can set up a routine by using the timer in the app so that lights turn on and off at a specific time. And, I love that you can control any plugged in device such as lights, TV while you are away from home in case you forgot to set a timer. No more walking in an unlighted room at night!

About 3 weeks into the purchase our Smart plug stopped connecting to the Wifi. When I researched how to fix it and followed all the online instructions it still didnt work. I reached out to the company and they responded very quickly within the week I had a new smart plug. It hasnt had any problems since then. It is always nice to work with a company that so quickly responds to customer needs.

They are easy to install, easy to program and work great.

We have used these Treatlife (TL) outlets, and one other, TL compatible outlet, for about 3 years now. We have them installed at our home and in my sons home. The App is easy to use and you can group devices by location. We can access both homes from ANYwhere there is internet. You can program timers by day, multiple on/off sessions. The outlets have a button for local control. The only application that (eventually) failed was a restaurant espresso machine which probably was too high amperage. However you can get higher power outlets that interface with TL so everything is accessible from the App. Highly recommended.

I 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.

These things are super easy to set up through their app and works flawless with Alexa.
