> 3 dayI really love these outdoor dimmer plugs. I plan on using them this Christmas for my lights. With the timer setting, I will be able to set when the lights come on and set them to come on Bright (Full strength) and then later dim, so I do not bother the neighbors. This winter when temperatures get cold (Minnesota), I will be able to connect the engine block heater to come on around 4am and be ready to start my truck for work. It allows me not to have the heater plugged in all night. Thanks for creating a versatile outdoor dimmer plug.

Greater than one weekGreat product. My indoor Christmas lights were too bright, so I added this dimmer. I used one for my outdoor lights too. Now I can tell Alexa to set my outdoor lights to 50%. Or whatever I want. Easy to set up. Be sure to use the TreatLife app and not the Smart Life app as indicated by the Amazon description. Good for outdoor use, as its waterproof. There is a manual button on the unit to turn it off/on and to adjust the brightness. Buy this product. You wont be disappointed.

Greater than one weekOK, some of the problem MAY be my inexperience with stuff like this, but Ive been using computers since the 1960s and I dont usually have such difficulty. The instructions were extremely unclear as to how to get the dimmer plug set up, and the venue was not easy to work within (I set it up where I planned to use it, in a wall outlet between some furniture. I probably spent 5 or 6 hours because it didnt operate the way I had eventually gathered/interpreted it should. Putting into pairing or discovery mode worked sometimes, and other times (if I failed to get it discovered) I had to unplug it and plug it in again (I think I had to. its hard to say.) Once that was done, connecting to Alexa was more of the same, and Alexa couldnt find it. The instructions were completely unclear, repeating things Id already done, etc. I tried chat support on my phone and the chatters instructions were impossible to follow while using my phone at the same time. Eventually it was the next day and they sent me some attachments but by then id gotten it working. But then I was prompted to download yet more software for it and that reversed the whole process. Back to square one, and more hours. Now its working and it works great, except the only way to control it is by phone, I gather. Cant do anything actually AT the device. Maybe this is all par for the course. Actually I hope so because I have not been willing to set up any other device because Im catching up with the things i didnt get done while trying to master this one. I do NOT think it is the device, but what I see as a basic incoherence and/or writing and chat communication ineptitude (yes, partly mine). What a nightmare.

> 3 dayShocked that these things work so great for outdoor festoon LED lighting. They dim very smoothly and can be set up on the schedule reliably. The app is incredibly easy to use. Setup is a breeze. No clue if they will last durability wise, but for the price, very very impressed.

> 3 dayI love that the app Smart Life has so many features to control these wifi devices. I currently own their switches (3-way, and single), outdoor and indoor plugs. I can schedule on/off, use timer and also create smart actions that can control multiple devices with one command. It is perfect for my usage. I have used this particular outdoor plug for Christmas lights and it has worked beautifully under snow, freezing rain and cold winds. I definitely recommend buying from this company.

17-11-2024We liked the idea of being able to control our outdoor market lights from inside, and I remembered that when we purchased them the description said that they were dimmable with Alexa control. I checked the description, and this is the product recommended on the page. We ordered the twin pack, as we had two non-connected light sets to control. Set up was a little tricky. The paper instructions differed a bit from what I was being told to do once I entered the app. It was fairly intuitive, however, and I soon had it working. About an hour later though, we could not control one of the light sets. No matter what we did, it wouldn’t work. I just unplugged both sets and tried again this morning when it all worked perfectly and has been working great every time I’ve tried all day. So maybe it was just a set-up glitch and needed a rest! I love the way it works!! So easy to just speak the lights on or off (or dimmer or brighter) instead of going outside. Also-if I return home after dark, I can remotely turn the lights on before I arrive so I will be welcomed home by a bright yard!! Update on 3/19/21: I had an issue with one of these plugs, but customer service worked with me and totally took care of the problem. My recommendation for this product is even higher (wish I could give it more than 5 stars!) now that I have experienced how excellent this companys customer service is!!

Greater than one weekI used two of these for my Christmas lights on my house. They worked great. Like any other smart products, I did have to re-sync one of them once. Its so much easier than using a timer.

> 3 dayI was tired of forgetting to turn on or off the outdoor Christmas lights so I bought two of these. They are very sturdy and I am sure they will last for years. I can find a use for them after the holidays as well. Turning on patio lights, or remotely turning on a desk lamp. It was a little challenging to add the devices to the iOS iPhone app, auto-scan dis not work for me. But I was able to connect manually. I would recommend this product.

> 3 dayIf you need outdoor WiFi control for your lights, buy this! I have purchased twice and wouldn’t hesitate to buy more if needed. My outdoor patio has multiple zones now and I love it… easy to schedule and control from the app.

16-11-2024This is a great option for my string of vintage deck lights. I no longer have to go plug them in to turn them on and off. I can also dim them to get just the right mood for the evening.
