Its unfortunate they put works only with 2.4GHz Wifi. That is a gross oversimplification. 2.4GHz is only required during the INITIAL SETUP phase. After that you can use 5GHz. Im using a TP-Link Deco mesh network and the router app allows enabling/disabling of either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Simply disable the 5GHz during setup of the plug and the install should proceed without a hitch. Then once the smart dimmer plug is successfully added and working, you can re-enable the 5GHz on the router. If you dont have an app, theres usually a waly to log into your router to enable/disable the two bands. BTW, I suspect that the reason you often see that these wont work with a mesh network is that they only communicate with the specific node that you set up the smart plug for, and wont work node-to-node. I havent tested this yet, but thats probably right due to the different MAC addresses in each node. If youre lucky that all of you dimmers can be located within range of the node where you do the setup, you should be in business. Hope this helps!

Ive used a small handful of IoT products from this company- light switches, outlet plugs, timer plugs... so I felt like I knew what to expect when I got these. The outcome was better than I expected, though. While not altogether a super simple process, the Wi-fi pairing process was easier- at least it seemed so to me. The quality of the product itself was, to my surprise, quite superb. The plastic is hard and durable, and the cord is thick and also seemingly durable, allowing some pretty rugged outdoor use where needed. Of course, the switch is grounded, too, allowing for more safety in all scenarios. In my case, I have both being used indoors, but its nice, all the same. The controls are actually really nice, too. I particularly like the feature which allows the user to set a dimming limit. In other words, if you have it connected to dimmable LED lights, and those lights (as most do) have a tolerance limit at which they stop dimming, you can set the app to not be able to dim lower than that level. Honestly, the biggest downside on these things is that if you want to mount it, there is only one mounting hole for a screw... which is really not that bad, at all. One other thing to keep in mind is that the plug is a right angle. In other words, the cord goes immediately straight down. Its a VERY nice feature for looking discrete and saving space immediately in front of the outlet, but not hand if you have another plug on the same outlet that also is right-angled. Honestly, these are well worth the buck if you are looking for an outlet dimmer switch- whether you use it indoors, or out.

This seems like a quality product; it works as advertised and is easy to set up. It gets my vote.

I have spent over 2 hours trying to get these devices to connect to my phone to be able to remotely use them, and I still have not been able to connect. They do not seem to be too smart, as their name would imply.

I recently bought the Treatlife outdoor dimmer plugs so I didnt have to manually turn off the string lights I have on my patio, and this has made life so much easier. I was able to set-up a schedule with the dimmer plug so that the lights turn on/off automatically, and now I dont have to do it manually. Ive forgotten to turn them off so many times and they stayed on all night long, so now Im not wasting electricity anymore. I also connected it with Alexa, which was incredibly easy to do. It works seamlessly, and Im amazed at how responsive it is when you give Alexa commands to control the dimmer plug, almost instantaneous. These have worked out so well that Im ordering more plugs to use for my Christmas tree lights, as well as my outdoor decorations and lights this year.

Used to signal around house when help was needed after breast cancer surgery. Love it! Exactly what was needed and we use it every day

Started using Treatlife products like Smart single pole switches, 2 point switches, smart plugs, bulbs and now this. Have to say I have not been disappointed. Clear instructions for installation and set-up and it works perfectly. I am a very satisfied customer and have started recommending their products to friends and family. I recently installed one at my cousins house for her to try and she is also sold on this. :)

I have bought many of these products for different things - 1 way, 3 way, outdoor plug, etc. They are really good products and I control all of them in the same app so its very easy. These outdoor plugs are great as usual for Treatlife products. It dims too, even though I wasnt looking for that function, its nice to have. This is a plug and go. Nothing else to do, other than downloading the app if you dont already have it or adding it in the app if you already have the app. I highly recommend it.

I have been looking for an outside dimmer switch for the past three years around Christmas to no avail. Granted, there are other switches for the inside and Philips Hue has a product line, albeit expensive. However, I have been wanting a simple weather-rated outside smart plug so I could dim my outside Christmas spotlights. TreatLife came to the rescue and has worked perfectly. The set up was easy and I was up and running in no time. In addition, I was able to dim the lights to the perfect setting for my lights. Could not be happier.

Setting these up via the app was very simple. I have used them about 9 months now. Starting with string lights in my backyard patio (turning on and off on a schedule every night) and now my Christmas lights. I have had 0 problems with them. I loved them so much I even purchased them for my indoor Christmas trees. I plugged them directly into the outlet under the house overhang so while they occasionally get a little rain or snow, I don’t know what their limit is. I also love the dimmer function! My wife (and me a little) hate the look of LED Christmas lights on full brightness and this make it easy to get the perfect warm white look of them.
