TREATLIFE Smart Ceiling Fan Control and Dimmer Light Switch, Neutral Wire Needed, 2.4GHz Single Pole Wi-Fi Fan and Light Switch Combo, Works with Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, Remote Control

Works great to control both a Ceiling Fan and Light in ONE dual switch.
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.

During our renovations we bought a cheap Harbor Breeze ceiling fan from Lowes. It was wired by the contractor with pull chains on a single switch (yuck). I was skeptical this switch would be able to work with it — especially the ability to dim the light/fan speed. However, I read a couple other reviews and I had neutral wires running into the switch box, so thought I would give it a go.It works like a charm. The instructions were well laid out, and the wire labels were really helpful while I was trying to figure out how to rewire the fan (to avoid the pull chains). I hooked it up to our google home (there is a smart speaker in that room) and now we can control light dimmer and fan speed with our voice. Pretty cool party trick!The google home setup was a little awkward (it shows up as two separate devices, and the name of the light switch defaulted to some Chinese characters) – but once I noticed the two new devices, I was able to control everything easily.Go for it.

My existing Fan/light combo unit had wall mount remote controller with single (14/2) L/N/G wire from wall switch to fan. There was a remote control unit in the fan canopy controlled by the wall switch to separately control fan/light. I removed the canopy remote unit and ran a second 14/2 cable from switch location to fan canopy. I then used this Smart Switch to separately control the Fan/Lights. The original 14/2: L (Black) carried Fan Load, N (White) was Fan Neutral. The new 14/2: L (Black) carried Lighting Load, N was unused.I set up the Smart Fan/Light Dimmer using Smart Life App and then configured in the Alexa App on my phone. I can now voice control separately via Alexa the Light On/Off and Light 10-100% and also Fan On/Off and Speed 1-4. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase and the unit works excellently and reliably.My light is LED bulb and has no flicker with this dimmer and excellent dimming range. I did go on to add 4 x LED Pot Lights connected to the same lighting load L (Black) wire in the canopy. So now the 4 x Pot Lights plus the Fan LED light all turn on/off & dim together. Original canopy bulb was one of those 75mm long halogen tube bulbs – I replaced it with an LED replacement bulb.As noted, I had a wall mount remote switch with canopy mounted remote unit. The above procedure would also work if you had a standard wall switch and a hand held remote controlling a canopy mounted unit. In both cases you definitely need a neutral present at the switch location as the feed side of the Smart Fan/Dimmer needs to receive L (Black) and N (White). Original canopy unit goes in the garbage when you’re done.

I installed this a few days ago to control an older-model ceiling fan and light at my cottage. The installation went well and the switch connected to my wifi without any significant problems.I needed this wifi-controlled switch because I plan to turn on my electric fan heaters remotely to warm the cottage up before I arrive, which usually takes at least a few hours or even longer if it’s cold. The fan is perched high in the vaulted ceiling and is necessary to mix the warm and cold air. The wifi thermostat for the forced air fan heaters (Sinope TH11124WF, reviewed separately on Amazon) also works quite well.I really like the app (called Treatlife). It’s pretty slick; as good as I’ve used with my many wifi devices. In fact, I liked the app enough that when I went to replace another light switch, I bought a Treatlife product so I can use the same app. I now have over a dozen proprietary wifi apps, which can get to be cumbersome, so I’m starting to buy products from manufacturers that I know and like for both their products and their apps.It seemed a little expensive for what it is, but it works well so I’m satisfied.Regards, Mark
