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

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!!!

***Updated Review*** This is advertised as a dimmable WiFi controller. It does dim, but only 18%? Seriously? 18%? Dont get me wrong, I know most LED lights and controllers struggle with dimming, but even the worst one I have in my house can go to at least 10%. Alexa integration was a pain, but Im tech savvy and figured it out soon enough. The key is, that despite having an app for this dimmer called Treat Life, when you do the integration with Alexa, you have to search for Smart Life. If you already have the Smart Life skill added to Alexa, you have to disable it, and then add it back and sign in with your Treat Life account you used when you setup the app. Not exactly a friendly approach to enabling the smart skill, especially if you use Smart Life for other things (I dont). After that comes the interaction with Alexa...She cant dim the lights (or at least she cant dim MY lights). Turn them on and off, yup, no problem. Alexa, Dim the lights to (eh hem) 18%? - nothing. Ok, pull the app out, dim the lights to 18%...yup, that works.... OK, Alexa integration is a slight issue...move on. Hey, its waterproof...so far. ***Update*** After I wrote my review a representative reached out and offered a replacement device. Im hopeful this new device works better and has more dimming range.

Dimming of outdoor string lights is essential to control the outdoor vibe, especially with multiple strings that can be bright and harsh. I was using a tabletop lamp dimmer duct-taped into a baggie and tucked under an eve. Definitely not optimal and potentially dangerous. It was time to find an outdoor-rated dimmer. I didnt think I needed any smart home functionality, I mean, its just a dimmer, right? But man is this thing fun! Alexa integration works great. Name the plug anything you want eg terrace, patio, pool, etc.) and say Alexa, turn on patio. Alexa, set patio to 55 percent. And the like. But really, the app is even better! After all, youll be outside with your phone while youre enjoying the lighting. The apps home page is simple, just an on/off button and a dim level slider that will dim in real time (lights dim as you move the slider, not after you stop moving it) in increments of 1%. Within the app you also have the option to set upper and lower dim range limits in case you have dimmable LEDs that tend to flicker when too dim. When you turn off the lights the dimmer does a soft off quick fade. Awesome addition to our outdoor hangout area. IMPORTANT TIP: When pairing and setting up the dimmer, follow the PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS that come in the box, NOT the steps in the app. The app is more generic to all of Treatlifes products and does not contain critical steps specific to this plug. Setup is very easy but you will not get it on the network without the printed steps.

This was very easy to connect and set up. I downloaded the app and connected it to Alexa with ease. I was able to schedule it in the app and love it!

We have multiple of these and they are great.

When the TreatLife app upgrades, it often loses the user credentials. When trying to re-input username/email and password, it fails. The reset password fails. It has required me to make whole new accounts just to be able to use the app again. Overall decent hardware, and the app is fine when the credentials are working, but I wouldnt recommend this due to the pain of it losing accounts all the time.

I thought the item wasnt working and they sent me a free replacement and then I discovered I wasnt using it correctly. Originally I thought it was just a on and off but it (as I found out) is variables speed and if you slow down low enough the item I was using it on wouldnt operate acting like it wasnt working. My apologies to the company selling this and am willing to pay for the 2nd one. Thanks

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.

Was satisfied with product until it stopped working after two months. I called customer service and was told I could not return it to Amazon (outside return window), but the dimmer had a one year warranty and Treatlife would contact me about getting a replacement. I never heard from them again. Very disappointed. Treatlife contacted me and sent a replacement. Works fine.

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.
