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

Great, easy to install dimmer for home automation
I needed to update the lighting in my home office and while I was buying a new fixture and LED bulbs, I saw this switch and thought having a dimmer would be a great replacement for the smart switch I already had in my office. This was a great upgrade to my home office.Installation is done fast with only a screwdriver, and the included wire nuts (and some electrical tape if you’re like me and wrap all connections). The switch came to life, obtained an IP address and was ready to go in minutes.Setup is equally fast. I already had the Smart Life app installed because I have some smart plugs already that used this app, so setup was about as quick as clicking the Add Device button, selecting “Dimmer” from the device options and following a couple prompts. And since I already had some Smart Life devices connected to Alexa, this new dimmer switch appeared instantaneously so all I had to do for Alexa was modify my routines to use the new switch instead of the old.Usage works great. Physically it’s like other smart switches, press to turn lights on, press again to turn lights off. The dimmer slider is touch, not physical, and is very quick and responsive. The dimmer levels are good, going from almost off to full bright smoothly, and if you do experience problems, there are three different dimmer modes to try that may help. Additionally, you can lock the dimmer controls via the app so that the dimmer function is disabled and the lights always stay at the same intensity you set before locking.Working with Alexa is like any other smart device, you can tell Alexa to set it to 50% and the lights dim to 50%. You can turn them on and off and include them in any routines you need light control in.So all in all, this switch works wonderfully and I will likely install more of them in other rooms throughout my home.

Exactly what I wanted
I’ve had a bit of time to use this dimmer, and I’ve really been happy with it. If you’ve replaced a switch — and if your switch box has a neutral line! — then physical installation is as easy as you hope. Software installation was just a couple of taps in my phone, and I was done. The dimmer uses the Samsung SmartThings system, so it’s a pretty mature ecosystem and no compatibility worry.The dimmer worked great with the LED bulbs I have, and dimmed smoothly to a very low level. The touch strip was very responsive, and the effect was immediate. The standby LED on the dimmer face isn’t too bright, and has a nice “breathing” brightness pattern that’s very pleasing.Now for the really good news! At least if you’re adventurous! 🙂 It’s pretty easy to get Tasmota on this dimmer! It’s based on a Tuya chip, and I used the OTA (over the air) firmware update software called Tuya-Convert (instructions are on the GitHub page). Once installed, Tasmota worked great! (find the Tuya Dimmer page on the Tasmota site, the bottom of that page has a picture of the module configure information) (also note, it wouldn’t be too hard to flash physically through a USB-to-serial connection as it’s easy to pop apart and get to the Tuya module – but does require some fine-pitch soldering to get access to the correct GPIO pins — OTA turned out to be much easier for me)This dimmer is great, whether you’re looking for something “that just works” or if you’re a smart home DIY fanatic. Now that my test has gone so well, I’m planning on getting lots more for the rest of my house.

I bought this for my home office that I’ve been automating with Google Assistant. I’m very happy with it. Wiring it was straightforward, since my existing dimmer switch was already wired with neutral, load and line. I had to work around one small issue related to my home wifi to set it up. I use Google Wifi and the repeater in my office is in Bridge mode. The switch doesn’t appear to be able to get an IP address through DHCP on a Bridge mode repeater, so I had to unplug it to for it to connect to the main wifi device in NAT mode. After that it was an automated configuration, and I easily added it to my Google Assistant. It works perfectly, and I think the range of dim-to-bright that this switch allows with my LED light bulb than what I could achieve with my old ordinary dimmer switch. 5/5 would buy again.

This Smart Dimmer is great! Easy to install, comes with labels for your neutral, ground, line, and load wires. Works great! The app lets you adjust the minimum brightness level so it works for many different types of light fixtures. I used it for 6 LED pot lights and it works wonderfully – goes from near total darkness to full blast brightness, adjustable by Google voice controls, the Treatlife app, or the wall switch touch panel. Has a memory setting too, so it remembers what brightness you had your lights on last when you turn it back on. 10/10!
