TREATLIFE Single Pole Smart Light Switch, Neutral Wire Required, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Light Switch, Smart Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home, Schedule, Remote Control

Beautiful switches and dimmers
These TreatLife switches and dimmers are awesome. There is no reason to spend more money on Lutron to do the same thing these can do and do very well.. simple set up and control as well as perfect performance when using the automation programming to automate all your lighting… I haven’t had a single issue with these to do what I need or to add more down the road. I’ll be buying more

Great product.
Can’t go wrong with TreatLife. Product is easy to connect, includes clear instructions, and results meet expectations. Will definitely purchase other TreatLife products to add to my collection. Bonus, you can add different products to the same TreatLife app.

Works great!
DesignModern design that fits a standard switch plate. It also comes with a single switch plate that is designed without visible screws for a clean modern look. There is a small light at the bottom of the switch that goes on when the switch is off, this makes it easy to locate the switch in a dark room. The little light is not bright enough to be a nuisance in a bedroom at night.InstallThis switch is as easy to install as any wifi switch. All wifi switches require attachment to four wires, Line, Load, Neutral and Ground, so it is a little more work than just a standard switch which uses just two wires, Line and Load. However, the directions are clear and easy to follow. Wifi/Alexa setup are as easy as any switch: set up a Smart Things account and follow the prompts. If you already have a Smart Things account (most common) it only takes a minute to setup because all your info (wifi and password, etc.) are already there.UseClicking the bottom of the switch turns it on, click it again and it turns off. It is not a rocker switch, and frankly, I like this better because you are always touching it in the same spot. Not sure why people complain about this, it is easy to get used to. The switch makes a tiny “click” when used, which makes it easy to tell you touched hard enough. This switch operates LED lights without causing them to blink.Alexa IntegrationIntegrates flawlessly with Alexa and responds quickly to voice commands.SummaryWorks great so far, very happy and will likely buy again from this company. I have had some wifi switches that died in a few months and I will update this review if the switch fails. This switch is replacing a wifi switch that only lasted 10 months: the seller of that switch no longer has products on Amazon, so not all of this new tech is reliable.

I’m in the process of automating my “new” home that has been out of date since about 1965, as far as light switches, lighting fixtures and wall outlets. I’ve had a Google Home and Nest Hub since earlier this year but this is my first attempt at integrating home automation with Google Assistant as they call it. The price is right for the TreatLife light switches so I’m hoping to convert the dozen or so upstairs light switches using TreatLife.INSTALLATION:The packaging for the light looks very stylish. Likewise the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The four wires you need to connect to make this work are very clearly marked, and it’s also well explained how to identify the four wires in your electrical box and mark them using the kindly included stickers. The main technical point for most people will be identifying the line wire versus the load wire. You could use a simple electrical tester as recommended in the instructions, but I didn’t have one. Instead I ended up using a multi-meter and touching the red probe to one of the black wires, then the black probe to the white neutral wire. The wire that registered 118V ended up being my line wire (the load wire measured ~500mV).According to Canadian electrical standards, my house uses an electrical box that is about 2 x 3 inches and about 2.25 inches deep. Additionally, the electrical box was attached to the stud with nails which leaves about 1.75 inches of open space (front of electrical box back to the nails). You need to insert the TreatLife wall switch in that box, along with four wire nuts and a mess of wires (see attached picture). This can be a little tricky, so you need to fold them in very carefully into every square inch of space in there. It took me about 15 minutes to reasonably accomplish that and then I relied on tightening the screws to fold them the rest of the way. I flipped the circuit breaker on and it began working immediately!One other thing I appreciated is that the switch plate is slightly larger than a standard plate. This meant that it covered up any old paint marks and I didn’t have to do any repainting around the edges of the new switch.APP:The software is trivial to install onto a smart phone. It’s also really easy to connect the light switch to your WiFi router, taking no longer than 2 minutes to discover a network and enter the router password. One thing to note here is that if your phone is connected to your 5 GHz router, you’ll need to momentarily disconnect and reconnect your phone to the 2.4 GHz network of your router. Then, after the light switch is connected to the 2.4 GHz network and verified working, you can reconnect your phone back to your 5 GHz network and everything will continue to function as usual. The phone to switch control is nearly instantaneous, with an audible click from the light switch the second you hit that button on your phone. Well done!GOOGLE ASSISTANT:My main reason for setting up these switches is to obtain voice control, so the next step was to get Google Assistant working. This consisted of tapping the light switch device in the Smart Life app, tapping the pencil icon at the top, and then tapping the Google Assistant icon. The Smart Life app then relinquishes control to the Google Home app, which asks you for the proper permissions. After this I was a bit confused when the Google Home app threw control back to the Smart Life app because the screen just showed the Google Home icon image and nothing was happening. I waited a few minutes before concluding it was dead, so I exited the Smart Life app and reloaded it, and it said Google Assistant was linked. Not sure if this was a bug or something with my phone. I said the words, “Hey Google, turn on lights” and sure enough it worked! There is the usual slight delay as Google deciphers what you are asking it, but it definitely happens in well under a second. I ended up using the Smart Life app to change the device name from “Smart Light Switch” to “Hallway Light” so that I could identify to Google which light to control.FINAL THOUGHTS:Overall I am impressed with the stylish, simple look of the switch, the ease of installation, and its responsiveness. In the future I will try to program certain behaviors, such as timers and multiple light phrases. I was hoping that once it was installed I would be able to see and control the switch itself in the Google Home app, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. There is also a gang light switch with three switches in my living room that I’m curious how that will go, as far as hardware and the light switch cover. I’m only in the first 24 hours of using it though and will update this review as I learn more.

I bought this switch a few month ago, and it works just fine. I added it to my google home and have no problems switching it, viewing it’s status either by looking at the Treatlife app, google home, or asking google assistant about the status of the switch. I can schedule and create themes and groupings no problem, in the treatlife app and google home. Note: make sure your WIFI router has both network types enabled (2.4GHz needs to be active). I have not integrated it with Alexa yet, but I assume it would just be as easy as google home integration.

Using smart switch is much better than using smart light bulb cause for light bulb you have to always keep the switch on (i.e. you can only turn light off using google home/ alexa) and pricier in the long run when the bulbs burned out. This product does what it promises to do and enhances my smart home system nicely! Plus the installation is super easy, except that I don’t have ground wire in my light socket (I saw a bare copper wire at the back attached to the wall tho, so I assumed it’s ground wire?) so I just left it hanging. It works wonderfully, but don’t quote me on this.
