TREATLIFE Smart Dimmer Switch, Single-Pole Smart Switch for Dimmable Bulbs, 2.4GHz WiFi Smart Light Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home, APP Remote Control, Neutral Wire Required

Simply does what it should, makes my life easier
Because of the layout of my living room my recliner is in the middle of the room, not close to any plugs or lamps. There is a spotlight over the fireplace that I was able to aim at my chair, so I could have light to read or work. Only problem, the dimmer switch is on the wall I need to get up, go around the back of my chair, turn the light on, and come back. Not exactly a cardio workout, but inconvenient at the least.Enter this little beauty. It just simply does what I need it to do, at a good price, and with a minimum of set-up muss and fuss. The instructions were simple and clear. Only hiccup was that my wiring at the wall plate (housing a dimmer, a light switch, and a three-way light switch) was a bit non-standard, so I needed to do a bit of research, figure-crossing, and a quick prayer. The problem was totally in the wiring, and not the dimmer. Once I had that figured out I hooked up the wiring, reassembled the panel, and was ready to switch power back on. I installed the app on my phone, signed in, and switched power back on. The switch automatically went into pairing mode, and the app acquired it. I forgot to disable the 5Ghz WiFi as the instructions said, but the switch was able to find the concurrently running 2.4 Ghz signal and locked on to that. Enter the password and the app had control. I then loaded the skill to Alexa, had her located the new device, and I was ready to go.I especially appreciate that Alexa and the switch were able to communicate without an extra hub in the middle, like some other devices need. Now I can sit in my chair, call for the lights at the level I need, and turn them off to settle in for a movie, all without the bother of going over to the switch. Additionally, I get the security bonus of setting a timer to turn the light on and off when I am gone, so it looks like someone is home. And the subtle led light on the face of the switch makes it easy to locate in the dark for that midnight kitchen run without having to have a conversation with Alexa and waking my wife. As an older guy who saw the original run of Star Trek in the 60s, I love having all these things at my voice command. This switch is solid gold.

Well worth the money!
Before I tell you my thoughts on this product, let me give you some background on what I am currently using in my house. I have a Hue hub and a Lutron hub, five hue bulbs, four lutron dimmers and fan controls, two Treatlife dimmer switches, and three off brand smart bulbs. I also have everything tied into my Alexa.I am running the off brand bulbs and Treatlife switches on the smart life app. The lutron and hue equipment run through their respective hubs. As far as basic function is concerned, all of my switches work mostly the same. Alexa can control all of them consistently.There are three things that set the Treatlife switches apart from the lutron switches. The manual function of the switch, the aesthetics of the switch, and the ability to function without a hub.First, the treatlife switches have a much more user friendly manual function. They have a touch sensitive brightness adjustment and a simple push on the bottom of the switch turns it on and off manually. The lutron switches have four separate buttons and very little lighting. They can be challenging to operate at night or if you aren’t directly looking at them.Secondly, they just look cleaner than the lutron switches. The treatlife switches are smooth and very minimalist. The LEDs on them are bright enough to be helpful but not so bright that they are annoying.And finally, you don’t need a hub to run them. I have quite a few components running in my home and was looking for switches that don’t require the addition of more. These fool the bill perfectly. They connect to the app very easily and have worked since they were connected.I am very happy with these switches and would recommend them to anybody looking to automate their home.

I’ve been hitting above average when it comes to lesser known brand on Amazon. And these Treatlife switches are definitely a hit.For the record, I’ve been playing with these since the day of x10/Insteon. I’ve had Gosung, Treatlife, Kasa and the Costco brand.BUILT QUALITY :Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the unit, it’s definitely up there with the big boys. It’s been up for about a month or so; I’ve turn power on and off multiple times = ZERO ISSUE, unit just reconnect to the router and off we go.INSTALLATION: *Please* make sure to watch some YT vids if you’re not familiar with basic electricity concepts (hot, ground, neutral, load, 3-way, 4-way, single-pole, switch loop, etc.). — SAFETY 1ST –That being said, you will need a neutral to connect. The negative aspect of almost all these switches (except the TP link Kasa), is that they all come with wired connectors and NO screw-connectors; plus the additional BULK makes for a tight fit. Getting them in a tiny standard electrical box can be fun, and by “fun” I mean torture; because you’ll have to stuff a few extra wire-nuts in there (Use smaller marrets to save space).CONNECTIVITY:For those having difficulties with pairing, please follow these steps, before initiating the connection process;- FORGET all the 5G networks on your device- FORGET all the 2.4g you will NOT be using to connect the switchThese will facilitate the process during initial installation.As far as the App goes, I don’t really care about the app, as long as I can link it back to my Google Assistant. The app is pretty standard and can be used to connect a variety of Smart Devices from similar brands.FEATURES: Overall, solid product for the price. I cannot comment in details about the features aside from “it does what it said it would do”.You can buy this one with confidence.

Me agrado bastante el producto, el único detalle que le veo es la necesidad de contrariar a alguien que lo instale
