TREATLIFE Smart Ceiling Fan Control and Dimmer Light Switch, 2.4GHz WiFi Only, Neutral Wire Required, Single Pole Fan & Light Switch Combo, Works with Alexa, Google Home & SmartThings, Remote Control

I am again pleased to have bought and installed another Treatlife smart device. I have most of their other products and this ceiling fan smart switch is a welcome addition to their product line. I have a child that likes to have a ceiling fan on at bed time, but turned off after a while. Since I frequently forget to turn it off, this is a great way for me to have the fan turn off automatically each night. Also I had never gotten around to installing a separate light and fan switch. We had one switch control power to the fan/light and then used the pull cords to turn on the lights or fan. So, this helps make life better in being able to turn either the light or fan from the switch and no longer need to rely on the pull chains. You need to make sure you have proper house wiring to support this switch. First, you need to have a neutral wire. That shouldn't be a problem unless your home is older. Second, you need to have separate wires from your switch box to your ceiling fan--one for fan and one for light. Most modern installs should have the standard black, white, copper wiring along with a red wire running from your switch box to the fan mounting box. Without that red wire, you won't be able to control the fan and light separately. Previously, I only had a single switch to control my ceiling fan. When I connected the light unit in the fan, it was wired together with the fan. So, we had to use the pull chain to turn the light on and off. So, I had to change the light unit's wire to my red supply wire before installing the switch. Luckly I have a newer ceiling fan unit and didn't have to remove it in order to re-wire. Aside from having to re-connect my light fixture wire, the install was straightforward. Obviously you should be skilled enough to be careful working with electrical connections. But, if you can handle turning off the right breaker and removing your existing switch, you should be able to handle this in just a few minutes. You simply connect the wires properly. The only difference from a "normal" switch connection is having separate wires for the fan and light. Treatlife includes wire labels to help make this a little easier. You don't need any sort of hub or device controller. You do, however need to make sure you have a 2.4 Ghz wifi network (not 5 Ghz). Connecting to the "app" was quick and easy. I am using the older Smart Life app and not their newer Treatlife app. As of now the Treatlife app doesn't include Siri shortcuts. So, I'm sticking with the Smart Life app for now. Otherwise, there's no difference between the apps. Their app makes it very straighforward to add timers (say automatically turn the fan off an hour after someone turns it on) or schedules (turn fan on at 8 PM or at dusk). You can also also create Siri shortcuts for actions. For me, that was shortcuts to turn lights on full, dim, or off and ceiling fan high, low, and off. I also set the fan to lower at 11 PM and turn off at midnight. The programming is very functional and easy to do. Their instructions were good and easy to understand. The manual control is easy to do. You can easily turn on/off the fan or lights with a push of a button. In order to control the light brightness, just double-tap the light button and use the +/- buttons to increase/decrease the brightness. Similarly, double-tapping the fan button allows the +/- buttons to speed/slow the fan. The only complaint my child had was that the LED on the switch when the fan runs was "too bright" for him. I don't think the LED is all that bright, honestly. I contacted the manufacturer and they are checking to see if it can be disabled. As of now, there's no solution. I put a thick post-it note on there for now, and that's solving the problem low-tech. Overall, I am very pleased as I have been with all my Treatlife purchases. This ceiling light/fan switch has met all my expectations.

As many others seem to say, "I have been looking for a smart switch that controls both the fan and light". Till now I had to buy separate smart switches to control both. This switch works great in fact I purchased a second one with in a month of installing the first. Install was very easy as the wires on the back of the switch are identified as to their function so you won't mistake which to connect to your home wires. To install this switch to control both fan and light, first turn the breaker off for your switch. You can tag all the wires with the included stickers showing what they control. You need a hot/Line/power wire usually black to feed the electric to both the light and fan through the switch and you need a Neutral Wire usually white. They will attach to the black and white wires from the switch with the wire nuts provided. You will also need a ground wire usually green or bare copper which attaches to the green wire from switch. You then need load wires which are the wires coming from the light and fan. The fan power wire will connect to the yellow wire from switch and the light load wire will connect to the red wire from the switch. Now your switch is wired. The neutral wire and ground wire from the light and fan get attached to the ones from the switch and line/power wires. All neutral wires are connected together and all ground wires are connected together. I usually connect the wires together with wire caps like the ones provided and I then usually use electrical tape to wrap around the wires and the cap holding them together. Electrical tape comes in colors so I use the color that matches the wire for easy identification. Keep in mind this double switch is probably bigger then one you may be replacing in wall, so the switch and wires will all need to fit in the electric box in your wall. I could not find what the warranty on the switch was and so I contacted Treatlife via email as it is the only way to contact them. I got contacted by their tech, Frank Chire, who told me the warranty on the switches was 1 year. He was very helpful with other questions I had and made me feel that if anything went wrong with the switches or I had any other questions or concerns he would take care of them. The switches integrate with Alexa as well as other switches I have installed. You need to download the Smart Life app to your phone and if you want the switch to work with Alexa then you need to enable the Smart life skill in the Alexa app. The switch was detected by the app without any issues. Once installed on the app you can change the switches name and don't forget to name the individual light and fan switches to something that makes sense to what they control and where they are located. The switch has a light built in which works opposite of most in the sense that if the light or fan is on the internal light is lit. If the fan or switch is off the internal light for that switch is off. I like a lighted switch so I can see it in the dark to turn it on, this defeats that purpose. If you are using it with Alexa then you can just tell Alexa to turn it on. It is a bit bright. This can hopefully be fixed with a software/firmware update that will allow the app to set when the internal light goes on based on the switches state on or off and it should also allow the option to have it off all the time. The other issue I have is the dimmer at the top is shared between both switches which is a bit cumbersome. It may be a nice design change to have you hold the individual switch down on the bottom of that switch to lower it and the top of the switch, (it would be like a rocker switch), to raise. Overall the best switch on the market for controlling both the fan and light of a ceiling fan and at a very good price. The Treatlife DS03 Fan and Light combined switch Pros and Cons: Pros: Easy Install with the wires marked as to their function. Two switches in one. Works well with Alexa for making a smart home. Low price for a smart switch. Tech support from my interaction seems to care about customer satisfaction. Everything but screw drivers are included, Switch, Cover Plate, Wire nuts, and labels for your wires. 1 year warranty. Cons are all just my personal feelings and do not affect the switches operation: The internal light on the switches is not controllable as to when or if it is on and works opposite of what I am used to. The single dimmer portion of the switch is a bit cumbersome to use. Treatlife can only be contacted via email no phone number. I will revisit this review if the switches give me any issues. For now 5 stars. Great value.

I have been looking for a smart switch that could do both my fan and its attached light for quite some time now, but have been unable to find one until now. I don't know why this would be that difficult. The switch was easy to install and just as easy to integrate with Google Home. Couldn't be happier. --- Update: Well, it didn't take long for me to take a star away. When I initially installed the light using the TreatLife app, it was really painless and worked without an issue. I was then able to get it linked to my Google Assistant by linking the Smart Life service and using my TreatLife account. That added three new items to my Google Assistant which were the Light, the Fan and a combined Light/Fan item. That worked great and I was able to turn the light on/off and dim light as well. I was also able to turn the fan on/off and control the speed. Well after my initial install two weeks ago and using it with my Google Assistant, I lost the ability to control the switch for both the fan & light. Whenever I asked my Google Home to turn on/off the light or fan, my Google Assistant would respond with "Actually, that device doesn't support that functionality." I figured it would resolve itself the next day, but it didn't so I told my Google Assistant to re-sync my devices. When the sync was complete, the Light and Fan control disappeared only showing the combined Light/Fan. Then the fun started. I must have added/removed it a dozen times over the last few days without success. Google Assistant would respond with the same message. It got to be crazy because at times, it would leave an orphaned device in Google Assistant which was real difficult to resolve. I wasn't able to get this going using the Smart Life integration at all so I finally gave up, but did manage to work around it. In order to get it going, it occurred to me that the instructions said it also works with SmartThings. The trick is to download the SmartThings app and create an account using the same Google account you are using for you assistant. After I did that, I went to link the TreatLife service by searching for TreatLife as described in their documentation. Well, guess what? It doesn't exist. Since TreatLife uses Tuya, I decided to use that instead since I didn't have anything to loose and what do you know, it linked to my TreatLife account. Before I linked my SmartThings account with Google Assistant, I changed the Combined Light/Fan Switch name to "TreatLife Switch", the fan to "Ceiling Fan" and the light to "Ceiling Light". It's important that the combined switch name be renamed. If you don't, it will always turn on the light and fan when you tell it to turn on the bedroom lights which was really annoying. I then added SmartThings to my Google Assistant and the three items showed up and I can now control via Google Assistant again. I did loose the ability to control the fan speed via any voice command unfortunately. If someone figures out how to fix that, it would be awesome.

I have a number of Hunter fan/light wall controls in our home, which have generally worked well--so when it came time to add another fan as we finished our basement, I tried to get another. Unfortunately for them, they're out of them during COVID--and after waiting months for them to get new stock, I finally gave up and tried this model instead. And I'm very glad I did! My family loves being able to control the fan and light via our Alexa. However, all that praise comes AFTER I got past installation... When I was first ordering this control, I noticed that its Amazon page mentions multiple times (including directly in the item title!) "neutral wire required". Again, on the carton, boldly highlighted in yellow, "Neutral wire required....confirm whether there is a neutral wire inside the switchbox before opening the package." Again multiple times in the instruction manual--"neutral wire required". Am I misunderstanding something, or don't ALL fans and lights--and for that matter, ALL household circuits--use a neutral wire? That's an awful lot of emphasis for something that is standard. What ISN'T mentioned nearly as prominently is the fact that this control requires a SECOND LOAD wire between the control and the fan. MANY fans are wired with only one load wire--typically 14-2 wiring. (That is, one load wire-black, one neutral wire-white, and one ground wire-bare copper.) The light and fan are then controlled by pull chains at the fan. 14-2 wiring won't work with this control--you need 14-3 wiring, which has an additional load wire (typically red). THIS IS THE WARNING WHICH SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED FOR CUSTOMERS, NOT THE NEUTRAL WIRE. The next step is figuring out which wires are which--at both the switch, and at the fan. At the switch, the manual schematic shows that the yellow wire from the switch should be connected to a yellow wire from the wall, the red wire from the control should be connected to the red wire from the wall, and black to black, white to white, and green to green. It further states that "The wire colors indicated in this manual are the usual colors..." NOT TRUE! Most 14-3 wiring has a black wire, a red wire, a white wire, and a bare copper wire leading to the fan. (They don't use yellow because in certain fluorescent lighting, white and yellow can be hard to differentiate.) The power supply wire is typically 14-2--consisting of black, white, and bare. So the correct wiring is: --Black wire on control to the black wire in the 14-2 bundle in the wall --White wire on control to both white wires in the wall --Green wire on control to both bare copper wires in the wall --Red wire on control to the red wire* in the wall --Yellow wire on control to the black wire* in the 14-3 bundle in the wall * These two may need to be switched--it depends on how the wires are connected in your fan TreatLife really should update their wiring schematic to more clearly explain this wiring. Having done a number of fan and control installations, I can say that most other manufacturers explain this much better. Someone with electrical experience will have no problems--but without clearer instructions, many lay people will struggle. Once you get this done, the next fun step was getting the app installed and running. The controller only supports 2.4Ghz networks. My router is dual band--5Ghz/2.4Ghz, so it would seem there would be no problem there. However, my phone automatically chooses which one to be on--there's no way to force it to the other--and it was choosing to be 5Ghz. So I couldn't talk to the controller. Both the manual and the app provide instructions on how to get your router to be only 2.4Ghz, but my router couldn't use those instructions. After some internet research, I ended up walking down the street for about a block until I was far enough away that my phone lost the 5Ghz signal, and thus connected to 2.4Ghz. A hassle--but, hopefully, only a one-time hassle. Once you connect, and then go through the process to connect the controller to your Alexa, the Alexa actually finds TWO devices--one of which is named something like "DS03 Ceiling Fan Controller", and the other whose name is a series of Oriental characters. (I'm not familiar enough with languages of that part of the world to know if they're Mandarin, Japanese, or something else.) The controller actually treats the fan and the light as two separate devices--the device with the non-alpha name is the light. Once you realize that and rename it to what you want, the rest was quite easy. Although I will mention that if you look for assistance on either their website or their app, you do get to some pages which are a little hard to understand, as they were written by someone who clearly isn't a native English speaker. They made a valiant effort--but TechLife may want to invest in better translators and/or tech writers. So, with installation complete--both I and my family love this controller. The manual controls are easy, clear, and logical, and the Alexa controls work consistently well. A couple of the small chiclet buttons on the control feel like they may be a bit flimsy, so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up--but that may just be me adjusting to the latest in modern technology. :) I know I've probably dwelt a bit too much on the negatives in this review, so let me end by saying that it really is an impressive controller. I look forward to installing more of TechLife's products in my home--perhaps even replacing some of my beloved Hunter fan controls!

I was looking for a 1 gang light and fan combo smart switch that was compatible with SmartThings. Amazingly this switch fulfilled all of those requirements!! Impressed with the numbers of reviews and YouTube videos this switch had I figured it must be a safe bet. Design wise I thought the switch looks great. Relatively simple to use once you know about double clicking the buttons. I also didn't mind the size. It was a bit large and only offered wires coming from the back instead of terminals, but it was still able to fit in the box. Wiring it was easy and when I went to check my work before installing the ceiling fan.... That's where the problems showed up. First I used a non contact voltage tester and found that both the fan and light load had power even when the switch should have been in an off state. Checked again by clicking both switch buttons and found the same result. Even successfuly set up the switch in the TreatLife app because I wondered if the switch was permanently on until initialized in the app for some reason. This was not the case. I came back with a multimeter to check again. Indeed when the switch was in an off position the multimeter read around 50-80V turning the switch on brought it to 120V. At first I thought I had a defective unit. I started researching if others had the same issue. I found out others indeed have had the same problem. The cause is if you use other smart dimmers on the same circuit (controlled by same breaker). It seems this switch leaks current into the light and fan loads even when the switch is off. People installing this switch are likely going to be installing other dimmers nearby. Others have reported issues with their fan turning off and on depending on their other dimmer's status. I've never seen a switch do this before. Prior to this Ive used Inovelli, Kasa, and GE smart switches. It should also be noted that these other switches are UL Certified while this switch is not. Not saying that UL is the end all be all, but it definitely adds more confidence to the product. If it were UL Certified, there probably would be no current leaking issue. For now I'll either be switching to a 2-Gang and add smart control that way or just stick to a dumb switch for now. I was really hoping this switch would be the excellent solution I needed, and it almost was, but this issue makes the switch useless to me. I'll also note in the fine print of the Amazon listing I did find a sentence stating that this switch can be the only dimmer on the circuit. An issue like this should be bold and upfront for every consumer to understand before purchasing because this is not the norm for other switches. If Treatlife fixes these issues in the future, I would be more than happy to come back and give them another chance. I hope this review reaches and helps someone in a similar situation as me!

Great switch. Works exactly as intended. It is awesome to tell Google to turn on the ceiling fan. At this point (as far as I know) Google can only turn the fan on and off and doesn't allow you to change fan speed. This is the case for both voice controls and in the Google Home app itself. Fortunately, the switch remembers the speed you had last, so if you had it set to 50% when you turn off the fan, it will automatically go back to 50% again when you turn it back on via voice command, the Google home app via the analog switch itself. That makes it really useful. You CAN control the fan speed through the app treatlife uses. This means you can set the fan speed from your phone, just not via the Google Home app or voice control. One thing that caused some additional work for us, is that this fan/light controller does not work in a 3 switch configuration. For us, controlling the fan was important and being to turn the light on and off was important, but we didn't care about the dimming function as we have a smart light strip we use for color and dimming controls when we want lower levels of light or touch lamps we have positioned on the sides of our bed. So, I replaced our dumb 3-way light switches with the TreatLife 3-way switch and put this fan/dimmier control switch next to one of the 3 way switches. I then just wired the neutral, line, and ground wires into both switches. This allowed us to use the smart 3-way switch to control the light on and off, and we use this switch to control the fan. That way, we could have the fan on with the light off and vice versa. Since we are not using the dimmer switch to control the light level, I just capped the wire that was supposed to go to the light fixture and only connected the wire to the fan. When I connected it to my WIFI network and Google Home, I noticed it brought in 2 different icons. One for the fan and one for the light. Since we weren't using the light portion of the switch, I decided to co-opt the light to make fan speed adjustable by voice command. The way it works, is you can control the light dimming with Google, just not fan speed. So, I can set the light from 0-100% dimness but it wouldn't actually change anything for my light, since that wire was capped. In the Smart Life app that TreatLife uses, you can set up automation routines. So, I set up a routine that anytime the dimmer light was set to 25% it would automatically set the fan to 25% as well, anytime the dimmer is set to 50% it will set the fan speed to 50% and so on. (The fan has 5 speeds. Off, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) Then I change the name in the Google Home app for the dimmer light switch to be "Ceiling Fan Speed". So, when I say "Hey Google, change ceiling fan speed to 25%" it understands that I am talking about the light dimmer switch and sets the brightness to 25%. Since the light wire isn't connected to anything, no light level is actually changed. Then the automation routine kicks in when it sees the brightness was set to 25% and it automatically sets the fan speed to 25%. You hear a couple of "clicks" in the switch as it makes the adjustmen and the fan speed goes to 25%. So, it is a bit of a workaround, but it works really well for our setup. We get to have our cake and eat it too. If you actually used the light switch, I guess that would be pretty annoying that the brighter the light is the faster the ceiling fan goes.... But, since we use the light strip for dimming and the smart 3-way for lights on and off everything just feels natural.

I purchased this item as it was a great price, looked nice, had an easy install and had Alexa integration features. When I received it, it did indeed look good and the tactile button presses were very nice and well made, and intuitive. Install was also very easy and fit within a deep box without issue. It's nice you don't need a fan module to install in the fan itself (think Insteon). But that's where the joy wore off. I had a terrible time getting it to link to the app. And my router was only about 20 feet away with a direct line of sight to this switch. Eventually I tried all of the options they had for connecting, and I somehow got it to work. Can't even describe it as I had tried everything multiple times. Then I tried Alexa integration. While I did get it integrated fairly easily, I could never get the right words to get it to turn on/off my fan or switch fan speeds. I could get it to do the lights, but that was it. Tried naming the switch different names, etc. No luck with the fan. Finally, I set my fan using the pull chain to it's highest speed of the 3 speeds it has. I have the 52" Kateri 5 - Blade fan made by Beachcrest Home. The highest speed on this switch worked great. However, setting each of the speeds on the switch 1, 2 or 3 resulted in my fan turning VERY slowly on each of those. It was about 1 revolution every 2 seconds on the switch 1 speed. On switch speed 3, it was 1 revolution every second. Then on switch speed 4, it was very fast. So bottom line, speeds 1, 2 and 3 are worthless. I contacted support and there was nothing they could do. They tried to tell me that on this very Amazon webpage mentioned that they did not support 3-speed fans. But no where could I find that. I did find what they didn't support, and it only mentioned older homes without a neutral wire, and fans with an installed remote control setup. To put the icing on the cake, within the box was an offer for a free switch. I contacted them about this, and they replied telling me that offer was over. So I am returning the switch. It looks like the only other available option is Insteon Keypad and Insteon FanLinc (which I already own their products) but it is over $150 for the setup compared to this. But, at least they work! This does not...unless you have a supported 4-speed fan. One more thing. I was offered by this company a partial refund which I thought was very nice. I took the offer, but then they requested that I needed to change my review to 5-stars before they'd give it to me. I wonder how many other reviews for this product have changed their rating to get the refund?? This review is honest as a user of this product, and many other smart home products...
