TREATLIFE Smart Dimmer Plug 2 Pack Outdoor Smart Plug Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, Light Dimmer Remote Control, Max Power 400W, IP44 Waterproof for Dimmable Outdoor Lights, Floor, Table Lamp

I installed one of these outdoor smart plugs to power my outdoor string lights over my patio. It was very easy to set up and the system works flawlessly! It was simple to connect to the app - and the app makes it very easy to control. Whats better is that connecting it to Alexa took no effort at all....saying Alexa turn on the backyard lights and having it work is almost like magic! Plus its great to use the app to brighten or dim the lights. If Im outside without my phone its very simple just to press the conveniently located button on the plug to turn on or off the lights. All and all a very well designed and extremely functional product! I am looking forward to using more of these to power my Christmas lights!

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.

I purchased this product so that I could dim the lights on my back porch and the lights on an adjacent patio (see picture). For that, it works extremely well. Once I connected the plug to the lights and connected the plug to WiFi (a process made easy by following the app instructions), I noted that there were 4 different settings available to allow the plug to work with whatever set of lights you are connecting it to. In my case the preselected setting worked fine. Interestingly, I was able to adjust the range of dimming such that there is a top end and a low end and I could set them at whatever levels I wanted. Again, I used the default, but if you want your lights to be brighter at the lowest dimmer setting, you can adjust for that. Once I got both strings of light setup, I realized that you could program the app to turn both sets of lights on with one button press in the app and I could also preadjust the brightness of the lights so that every time I press the button, they come on at the -readjusted dimming level. There are multiple settings and buttons you can create. All in all, this is a very versatile product that does everything I wanted and more.

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.

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.
