TREATLIFE Alexa Smart Plug 4 Pack, 7 Day Heavy Duty Programmable Timer, Works with Alexa and Google Home, 1800W 15A WiFi Smart Outlet, Child Lock, Vacation Mode, Reliable WiFi Connection

Great product

We were using several mechanical timers that were not very accurate and would make buzzing noises. These smart plugs are smaller, quiet and have accurate timers. The app uses Bluetooth initially to identify the plug. You then connect it to your wi-fi (make sure to have your wi-fi password ready). Setting a schedule was a bit confusing, the on/off indicator is strange. You set the time first, touch on/off, change it (to on or off), then confirm (the app says Confrim) and then touch Save. Once Id programmed the first plug, the other three were easy. I have not tried grouping the plugs. You just need the app on your phone to set/control these smart plugs. You do not need Alexa.

I have been using Treatlife Smart products for several years. I believe that between switches, plugs, dimmers and lights I now have seven of their products. The Smartplug four pack was a no brainer to purchase. Most of my house is run on Alexa usable products and these Smart plugs were found immediately by my Alexa app and are currently running four different devices. I used these Smart plugs for dusk to dawn security lighting. The one thing I am most happy with is that they did not lose their settings during a short power outage we had last week. Some of my other plugs required me to reinstall them. The installation process was very easy and all worked on the first try. I have not had occasion to use the Child Lock feature but will report back on it if I do. As with most products, you get what you pay for. The price of these Smart Plugs was extremely reasonable and if they are like the other Treatlife products that I have, they will last for a very long time. I am very pleased with this purchase and do recommend them to anyone looking to set up a smart home, especially using Alexa.

We have all the lights in our house connected to Alexa in one form or another. being able to tell Alexa to turn off all the lights as we leave the house or go to bed has great value. There are a couple of lamps that plug into the wall and cant use smart bulbs, these smart plugs allow us to control those lamps along with all the other lights in the house. The small downside is the actual switches on the lamps are not useable, the lamps must be turned on with Alexa. but she has proven to be reliable and having them bundled with all the lights in the house works well.

I only used these with the app, not the voice assistant option. Everything works well enough, and my only complaint with these is that they sometimes will randomly turn off. It happens with heavy draw and light draw equipment, and in different physical locations. It seemed to happen regardless if I swapped out the plugs. I have never used this kind of Internet of Things device before, so I dont know if that is just a feature of this type of tech. There is a setting in the app to tell the plug to resume the last state, and it will do that - its just a little disconcerting to be sitting there and the light goes out, comes back, goes out again and then comes back and stays on. We dont have any power or wi-fi issues that I am otherwise aware of, so not sure whats going on. I also did try resetting the power plugs per the instructions. The concept seems like a good one, and the equipment seems otherwise well made, so I am assuming I got a bad batch or I am doing it wrong, which is why I am only dinging it one star.

COMPRE ESTA MARCA PORQUE TENGO LUCES QUE ME FUNCIONAN MUY BIEN Y HASTA AHORA TAMBIEN FUNCIONAN A LA PERFECCION

These were very simple to install and use with Alexa. I was initially annoyed that I needed to download yet another app, but that’s the price of not buying the Amazon plugs. Fortunately, it works great with Alexa so the savings are definitely worth the extra effort.

Some people stated that it was super easy to install and some stated it was a pain. Im siding with it being a pain. Yes I know that it only runs on 2G, but my Alexa couldnt locate the plugs, and I had to contact customer service at Amazon, which was very helpful. I had to download the Smartlife app in order for Alexa to recognize them. So, no, this was not easy to set up. It took my over 2 hours to set them up. Once they were up and running, they seemed to work well. Im decent with technology, but this was kind of stupid since I had to download a completely different app for the plugs.

Since I had treat life switches and app, it’s easy to setup the plug. Just remember it works with 2.4ghz only so make sure you use 2.4ghz when adding the plug. Afterward, the app can work from your phone through 2.4 or 5ghz or any Wi-Fi the phone connected to.

We bought these for our Christmas Lights throughout the interior of the house so that we could ask Alexa to turn them on/off for us. Setup was slightly tedious in having to download the proprietary app, and then add each plug individually (Admittedly though, this may be user error). Once added, theyve worked flawlessly with Alexa to manually turn on/off (we havent tried a schedule yet since the kids are having joy asking Alexa to turn them on/off). One last note: Since their placement varies in distance form the WiFi Router, they dont always turn all on/off at the exact same moment, but do switch their state as asked.
