Greater than one weekIt is great being able to run this from your phone. The app has a lot of options and is easy to use once you play with it a bit to understand the interface. Be aware though, that if you are going to use this with lights that have their own control box, it may nor work. I tried using it with Philips 70 mini lights - 8 color and motion effects. Even with the dimmer set to 100% these lights would not turn on at all. On Standard and LED Dimmable strands though, they work well.

Greater than one weekOkay, here is the deal. I purchased and was expecting a seamless Alexa integration, like my other 3rd party plugs. That was not the case. The directions suck, pure and simple. When you contact Treat Life Customer Service, there is a communication and time zone issue, where as I suspect is in a country that is far away from the USA. Takes days for a response and their response needs interpretation and breakdown. Treat Life or Smart Life, pick on and stick with it. I recommend Smart Life. We got both the Treat Life and Smart Life apps to work with minimal difficulty; the problem came when we tried to connect it to Alexa. After weeks of trying everything, calling Amazon, contacting Treat Life numerous (way too many) times, we gave up. I initiated a return and wrote a scathing review. We loved the dimmer plug and ability to dim our string lights, so we decided to give it one last try. I called Amazon again. The Amazon Tech (Aaron was awesome, by the way) was determined to find out why the Treat Life Dimmer Plug wouldnt connect to Alexa. After close to an hour of a determined Tech - problem was resolved and we now LOVE our Treat Life Dimmer Plug; the Treat Life company, not so much. Here is what happened and I want to point out, this has never happened with any of our other 3rd party plugs. The Echos were purchased under my husbands Amazon account. I have a joint account. I was trying to activate the skill via my Amazon Alexa app. Once I activated the skill via my husbands Amazon Alexa app - it worked. We are now happy. I cancelled the return and deleted the original review. Exterior Dimmer Plug is great and we recommend the product.

> 3 dayUpdate: Customer service is very quick and already have a replacement on the way! I absolutely loved this box! For 29 days! Until a few days ago it started acting strange and now it’s 1 day past the return window and I can’t return it for a replacement. I’ve reached out to the company so we will see. Will update if the company replaces it!

> 3 dayI am a huge fan of Treatlife products! In my opinion they are A+ They are easy to setup and stay hooked up to my home network; even after a power outage! I have had poor experiences with other namebrand Alexa based devices that often need attention after an outage or have remained unused for awhile. Not so with this product, they seem to be self healing, although that is not in the description. Initially, I was skeptical because of the price, but have been very pleasantly surprised at the quality and ease of use and setup of all the Treatlife products I have purchased; from bulbs to dimmers, wall switches to outside plugs. I continue to expand the use of Treatlife devices and have not been dissappointed at all. I have a Comcast router with 6 pods around my 2600 sq ft one level home, every Treatlife product, including the ones I use on the lania, garage and even outside to keep their connection and work perfectly! The best part is I dont have to assign them a network, they automatically join the 2.4 so there are no worries about signal strength. Alexa immediately recognizes the devices and will include them without having to go through discovery once they join the network. Just another convenience of this product. I cant recommend highly enough! Try them and youll be a fan too!

> 3 dayWe installed some string lights on our patio a while back, which we love, but since we also sometimes use the patio for an outdoor movie theater the lights were always a bit too bright. We had searched for a wall switch dimmer but the one that we would have needed for our setup would have been extremely expensive, and would not work for our incandescent lights. The Treatlive Outdoor Dimmer was our solution! It made it extremely easy to use as we didnt have to change out the wall switch inside our home, just plug it into the outlet and the lights into that, and you are ready to go! Since it is weatherproof it makes it nice as it is outside at all times ( as the outlet is near the roofline, it is not easy to remove ). Now we can easily dim the lights for the movies or turn them up to full brightness when we need the area well lit. It is great! The Treatlife app was simple to download and install and had it working in just a few minutes. We connected it to our Alexa devices so we can now just say Turn on the Patio Lights and it works! The dimming feature works really well with these lights as it does dim them very low if needed. We can now enjoy our patio lights...and the movies at the same time! We would highly recommend

> 3 daySo I had this Treatlife Smart Dimmer plug for a few weeks, controlling my outdoor patio lights. Synced very fast with Alexa and life was good. Then one day it stopped working, the light turned on once and then off. So I tried a hailmary and reached out to the seller. Guess what they shipped a replacement two days after I emailed them. Now thats service and just like before quick and easy sync with Alexa and now we have smart lights once again on the patio. Great item and even better seller.

> 3 dayWorked very well in the beginning. Dimmed an outdoor string of bulbs and provided good control through the app and Alexa. Good wifi coverage. Ive had other plugs that wouldnt get wifi in the same location. This one works well. But after 4 months, it just wont turn on. I suspect, after reading other reviews, that its the water issue being IP44. It was under an awning, but somewhat exposed to the elements. Weve had some heavy rain as well. Other plugs Ive had are at least IP64. Ill look for that in the future. But for the price, not a bad little dimmer option.
