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

This works just like the GE outlet that came with my Google Mini. Easy to use, just how it should be. The only issue I found is in the installation. In the Treatlife app, the outlet is found right away and pops up in a new window on the bottom. When I installed this way, I was unable to turn it on by the app, only by the physical button. Dont use that new window. You have to back out of that window. Install it manually, like you would any other device (with the + symbol). After installation, I was able to turn it on by the app, and the physical button. If you install like that, youll have no problems

Easy to set up and integrate with Alexa. I started out with a four-pack. Now I have 12. Love them. Tried other brands but returned them because they wouldnt connect. These are the best.

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.

This was a splurge for me this past Christmas - Yeah, I know, $25 isnt that much of a splurge! But honestly, I didnt know if it was going to be worth it! But after reading a bunch of reviews on a bunch of different brands of wi-fi plugs, I decided to go with Treatlife. I dont use, or intend to ever purchase or use, any smart speakers to connect with these plugs, although I considered purchasing ones that worked with Apple Homelink, but they were always more expensive. I bought this 4-pack in time to put one on the Christmas tree, and a couple other lamps around the house. The app was easy to use to get started, and it didnt take too long to figure out how to set up rooms and scenes, with multiple plugs coming on simultaneously. The best part is that with Apple Shortcuts, I can say Hey Siri, turn my light on! And bam! Its on! Thats really handy if you use Hey Siri. Also a factor was the fact that these are 15 amp plugs. I use one of them to power my home studio! (Just a small mixer and two self-powered studio monitors.) Instead of reaching around to find the switch for all three units, I tap my phone or tell Siri to power it up. (One application I recently thought of that will most likely motivate my purchase of another set of these is charging smart devices. I hate the thought of leaving our iPad charging all night, as I know this is bad for the longevity of the battery. So using one of these with a timer set for 3-4 hours would allow me to set it to charge at bed time, and know that it wont over charge the battery for the last 4 or so hours Im asleep.) I highly recommend these if you are looking for a simple product to replace lamp timers, control small electronic devices, etc. They totally exceeded my expectations!

Plugs work as expected. Much easier to program than Wemo plugs.

The product seemed to work alone but having difficulty connecting to my Alexa. Could not get help and Amazon agents did not speak good English, did not understand and tried to pass me to Treatlife, which I could not get a live person and they sent an email which I could not understand.

This is the first smart plug Ive installed and used. Its actually about 100 times better than any analog or legacy device. We had an old timer function unit with the mechanical dial for the aquarium we have and that thing seems like its always getting out of time with the clocks. This would work perfect for cycling a light on and off during the day. I used it through the Alexa app to power an LED overhead light. I love these things as they are ready to go right out of the box. As soon as I plugged it in, it was in pairing mode ready to connect. Installation took about 2 minutes. The box states 1800W max so if thats a limitation for you, consider something a little more heavy duty. The plug does take up a fair amount of space laterally, but theres plenty of space on a dual plug outlet to run this device and a regular plug in device.

NOTE: I received these at no cost to review. I have purchased several Treatlife products (smart switches) in the past and used the SmartLife app to configure. These devices came with instructions to configure using the Treatlife app, and to enable a skill and link to my Amazon account. I had not done this before so I reached out to customer support for clarification and they were helpful and timely. Once configured, I was able to easily recognize and use Alexa for voice control. I tested the timer function and it works great. I tried using the smart plug with a Levoit Air Filter. It would power on then power off immediately (reason for 4 stars). Not sure why. I tested all four plugs with a large fan, small fan, and two desk lamps. These all worked OK. A good deal when buying 4 for under $22.

These have been up for several months. I havent had any signal issues and they are very responsive with Alexa on the app and with my Echo devices. Lots of options on the native app and less but effective options with the Alexa app.
