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

I purchased this dimmer for my outdoor string lights. I was able to utilize the app to set the dimmer level and a schedule for it to turn on and off. It worked great for a few months but then it wouldnt dim anymore. It ran at 100% brightness. There customer service was fantastic. They had me try a few things to correct the issue but when that didnt work, they immediately sent me a knew dimmer, free of charge. The new one has been working as expected.

I havent used all the features just the manual buttons. My biggest concern is whether the LEDs flicker and they dont seem to. Seems to work fine.

The product was being used to control a patio light string and a short surfaced in the power cord resulting in the unit disconnecting the power for the lights and disconnecting the wifi link. TREATLIFE customer service promptly sent a replacement which is now working fine. Their customer service was great!!!

So good that I ordered a second for another set of lights, and may order a third! For those of you wondering, this does have a physical switch / dimmer you can use without your phone. Theres a single button that you tap to turn the lights on and off, or hold down to dim/brighten (it starts going one direction until it maxes out then goes the other direction). Wifi setup was very simple, and, while I havent looked into the fancier settings yet, the basic controls on the app more than meet my needs of manual on/off and a brightness slider. Ive made use of the timer feature as well to make sure we dont forget to turn the lights off after a night of partying. The construction seems solid and pretty rugged. I expect it will last a long time, even outside. I also like that it provides a slot to hook onto a screw or nail for easy wall mounting. My one suggested update is to have a longer power cord. Unless you have an outlet within about a foot of where you want this switch to be, youll need an extension. In my particular scenario, we had to run an extension along the side of the house. That extension goes to a triple outlet staked into the ground because I need at least 2 switches at this location and want to keep the connections off the ground to avoid potential issues with puddles. However, if I connect this switch directly to that staked outlet it will only be about 1.5 feet off the ground, which is pretty inconvenient for using the physical button. This means that I need to either live with that; buy and install another 3-6 ft outdoor extension, causing a setup of extension -> landscape outlet -> extension -> switch -> extension -> lights; mount the switch and leave the outlet hanging (ghetto and probably not 100% weather safe); or, hopefully, find a different cheap outdoor splitter that can be mounted to the wall right beneath the switch. I feel like the power cord should be 3-4 ft, which is long enough to go from the floor, where most extension cords reside, to a normal & convenient height to use the button.

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.

Worked great right out of the box, was easy to setup and has dimming function for outside patio lights

I have now purchased two of these since I liked the first one. I use them to control outside café lights from my phone and using voice with Google Home. Having the dimming option is great (I typically keep the café lights at only 10% as theyre around a fire pit and I like to enjoy the fire light). Update: I recently had one of the dimmers fail but when I reached out to customer support they promptly replaced it for me. Very happy all around with this product/company.

Product works well and is easy to install. More impressive is the customer service. The initial item I received got water in it during a heavy rainstorm due to the angle it was sitting (definitely have the outlet opening facing down!). One quick email and a new one was sent out to replace it (which has now survived successive rainstorms suggesting it might have been more user error than product error).

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.

No way to manually turn on or off from inside the house without a cell phone or Alexa great product but would not work for me
