Worked great right out of the box, was easy to setup and has dimming function for outside patio lights

My outdoor fountain flow rate was strictly a manual and difficult operation. While this dimmer is made for lights, I can tell you that it works great to control the flow rate using my phone, instead of digging in the rocks for the valve.

On the plus side, this was the only dimmer which could handle enough wattage for my application, worked with LEDs, and had some means of remote control. Minus number 1: The ONLY way to control it is through the phone app. It MUST be connected to your WiFi; therefore it has access to the entirety of your LAN, unless you hook it up to a Guest WiFI (recommended for security). The privacy policy notes that it will share whatever data it can glean with law enforcement, which, since the company is in China, means the Chinese Communist Party. It notes specifically that the laws under which it operates are not the same as those of your own country. Minus number 2: Although it claims to connect with Alexa and Google Home (I have neither, so I have not tested it), there is no way to integrate it with other home control devices. I specifically asked their tech support if there was an API, and they said there wasnt. I tried to http to its address on my LAN, but it did not respond (at least on port 80). It does integrate with IFTTT, and I have used this successfully to implement a schedule. But I cant sense its state, or control it with my home control system (Indigo on a Mac). Minus number 3: It looses much of its state if unplugged, in a power failure, or if it is otherwise powered down. It forgets its dim range setting and dim mode (there are 3 of them, which are not explained in the manual; the only way to see if one works is to experiment blindly without advance knowledge of how it will affect the load) and resets them to its default values. Fortunately it remembers your WiFi name and password. Minus number 4: The group settings dont synchronize properly. One can establish, say, a group of 2 dimmers. One then has 3 members in the app user interface; lets call them Dimmer1, Dimmer2, and Group. If one turns both Dinmer1 and Dimmer2 on, Group may still display as OFF. If one turns Group on, then IFTTT turns Group off, Group may still display as ON in the app. There are other examples of this lack of consistency, but I cant remember them and they may not even be reproducible. I havent done extensive testing.

Ive strung a lot of lights on my covered patio and this makes it easy to adjust brightness according to my needs. Fully bright or party time.

After 1 season, my product stopped working. I emailed the seller and asked if it would be allowable to get a replacement. They were very accommodating to my request and sent one out immediately! Let the seller.

Only hay use the button control on 3 strings of dimmable lights, works great. Had to disassemble when it got full of water(from light rain) to dry out it out. Now it is only hooked up when is use, does not stay outside.

I dont know what happen but it only worked twice. It was nice, but since Ive tried again with no luck. Unfortunately, I got busy and missed the return time.

I love this product so much Ive even bought some for my friends. The app is simple and easy to use, youve got a ton of options with it, and I can preset everything so that I dont have to worry about it. Schedules, routines, brightness, theres nothing this thing cant do. I would highly recommend getting this for your lighting needs!

Very happy with the product and the app, and when needed, customer support was excellent. Highly recommend for a quick and easy way to turn on/off and dim your patio lights from your phone or Alexa

The design and function is perfect so far. Using this to control the decorative string lights for our backyard. We needed something remote control because the only suitable plug to use is behind some bushes near the A/C unit. I wish I could have found a good outdoor zigbee or z-wave unit, but wifi is unfortunately becoming all too popular for smart home controls. That being said, my biggest complaint about this unit is that I had to create an account just to setup a plug. This is the only product from Treatlife that I own, but I have a real issue with creating an account just to tell a device my home network SSID and password. Not very secure or private to me. Even my multiple wifi cameras have ability to setup over ethernet or wifi through a web browser and do not require an account even if the app is used. Not sure what the permissions were, but all the info is there such as location, IP address, SSID, password. Seems like a security risk. Without providing any other info to sign up they already know exactly where your house is, your address, and network credentials.
