TREATLIFE Smart Dimmer Switch 4 Pack, Smart Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home, 2.4GHz WiFi Dimmer Light Switch for LED, CFL, Incandescent Bulbs, Neutral Wire Required, Single Pole

The media could not be loaded. I’m so excited about these smart switches — they make any light smart, and I’ve loved them in two houses now! I used the older version with the little + and – buttons for dimmng and was obsessed, so I grabbed these newer ones the second we moved. I was a tiny bit nervous about the sleeker design (would it even register my touch?), but nope — they work flawlessly! Super responsive, super clean-looking, and WAY easier to keep fingerprint-free.I can still press the switch like normal or yell at Google to dim the lights from across the room (yes, I still feel like a wizard every time). They’re crazy reliable and already making my new kitchen feel so much more put together. Plus, they’re going to look 🔥 once the backsplash and counters are done.Real talk, though:👉 You do need a neutral wire, which older houses might not have.👉 It runs on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only (not 5 GHz), so check that your router supports it.👉 There’s a tiny bit of lag sometimes — but seriously, at this price, who cares?Other smart switch setups can cost way more and often need extra hubs or bridges. These don’t — they’re simple, sleek, and just work. Sure, Google might eventually stop playing nice (🙄), but I just bought new ones and I’m not upgrading again anytime soon.Final word: Stylish, solid, budget-friendly, and so fun to use. Don’t overthink it — these are awesome.

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.

In short, I’ve been using this product for a little over a week and I love it, read next to find out why.First of all the packaging. Everything comes well Organized and all of the required the mounting hardware is included, even a screwless white plate that’s pretty neat for this product.The installation can be a bit of a hassle just because of the existing wiring in my house, some of my junction boxes were a bit too crowded so inserting these big switches was a bit of a challenge, but with a bit of patience and a few youtube tutorial videos on how to wire electrical boxes everything is possible. For the simple electrical boxes the wiring was a breeze, under 5min to install. One thing you have to be careful is applying too mich strength to the box because the front plate might break from the circuitry box, if this happens you can use some regular plastic glue and problem solved. I think that if the stripped wire connections were a bit longer, would male the mounting a bit easier on those challenging boxes, but again, this is not a showstopperThe touch, this is one of my favorite things about this product, the feeling of satisfaction when clicking the button, it’s like clicking a computer mouse button, it makes you feel like you accomplished something everything you press that button. The switch is very responsive and turns on the device fairly quickly and it even has an LED indicator showing the status of the switch. The indicator also serves to find the switch at night. I really love plating with the slider making the light go up and downThe app installation, this is definitively something that I didnt love about the product since I’m pairing it with my iphone (not sure if Android has the same issue. The pairing instructions included in the box seem to be a bit outdated compared to the app, I had to pair the device using the alternative mode where you have to manually join the product wireless server, I believe this is called AP mode. It’s a bit tedious because you need to wait 2 minutes for the first pairing mode to fail before you can try the alternative mode which takes almost 2 more minutes to complete.The app, once paired, the app is very straight forward, and pretty much has all the functionality you need, scheduling, grouping different devices per room and it also allows easy google integration.Given the price of the item I would say it’s pretty well worth it. My personal rating is 8/10 just because of the pairing process which you only have to make once, after that it’s all joy and happiness.UPDATE: I bought a second set of this switch cuz I loved the first one so much, it’s been great and it’s also pretty fun making all my parts interact with each other!
