So for those who don't know, Treatlife is a company that mostly re-brands white-label devices from Tuya Smart Life - this is a not meant as an insult, I like Tuya devices.
So I previously purchased a 1st generation Tuya dimmer switch (branded as Globe Electric), but found it had several deal-breaking problems and returned it. This switch my second attempt, and it's WAY better. Mostly it just works as you'd want it to. Connected right up with the Tuya app, dims my LED light correctly... no complaints.
The only thing I did like better about the 1st gen was the overall desgisn. The implementation was flawed, but I liked the idea of it: it had a touch-sensitive strip for adjust the dimming of the light, that was kinda cool. It was too sensitive and too easy to trigger accidentally, but it would have been nice to see Tuya refine that design instead of binning it and go with the the safe, but boring design of this switch.
Honestly, this is so minor, it's not a complaint, and I'm still giving this switch 5 stars, but it's just something I wish were different.

This was actually the first legitimate smart fan control switch that I had discovered so I jumped at the opportunity (other smart dimmers claim to control fans as well but I've read that while you can you shouldn't).
Hookup was simple like any other smart switch. The switch is really no bigger than any other single pole smart switch and as seen in my picture I was able to fit it in a 2 gang box next to another Treatlife smart switch.
It has 4 speed settings which is nice and the Alexa integration was seamless.
That was the good...my only complaint is that at least a couple of times a day it displays as non responsive in Alexa and is flashing red indicating it has no wireless connection.
If that gets fixed this is a 5 star device but for now it's still a very pleasant 4 star.

Bryan_ATL: Purchased based upon looks, price and interoperability with my existing devices (Smart Life app). I was not disappointed. Received as promised and took about an hour to do the full install and connect to the app plus Alexa integration. I use it to control my back porch string LED lights. The switch is located inside the house by the rear door and replaces the existing standard toggle switch. Here's my advice on the install; Read the product details, you do need a neutral line (white wire) for this to operate. I've read reviews that state the unit is too deep in the installation box - i did not find this to be the case here. The depth of the unit is no different than any similar smart unit device (and i have many in the house from different brands). Instructions and clear and surprisingly in full English with color diagrams to match if you are unsure (i am an Electronics Engineer and come across many poorly translated user/install guides - this one is precise). The unit (dimmer switch) comes with a standard single gang wall plate attached - my installation was into a double gang and so i simply purchased a new wall plate and detached the unit from the provided...

Dexter Lindsay: Installs easily for the second one. Learning to do first one takes a little time getting correct app. Works very well. I have 5 of them and my only issue is crosstalk from time to time resulting in two lights effected for one action. Have not resolved.

Essential Enthusiast:
This was easy to install (I have no electrical experience). Hardest part was finding the right breaker for the circuit. If you're organized and label your breaker panel like responsible adults do, it's a no-brainer to install the switch.
The manual has clear and easy to follow instructions. It paired right away using the Smart Life app. Integrated with Google Home just by linking to Smart Life.
All functions work as advertised.
It will dim from 10-100%. Any lower and nothing happens.
The only thing I will say is that the housing is cheap plastic, so be careful if you have to apply any pressure to get it into the wall box.
The buttons' "clickiness" feels kinda cheap, but I'm using it mostly on automation and voice commands, so I've only pressed the button to test that I'd wired it correctly.
I'd buy it again.

Jan: I bought this dimmer switch for my new chandelier light in my master bedroom. I use smart plugs with my Alexa throughout my home, but have never used a smart dimmer switch. After reading many reviews, I decided I liked the simplicity and styling of this dimmer switch. It appeared to have a more subdued operating/indicator light on it than brands, which was important for me so I could minimize the ambient light in my room for sleep. It was easy to install and pair with Alexa through the Smart Life app. It works great. So, I placed another order to get a second dimmer for my guest bedroom. This is a quality product.

Lisa: We installed this in our future baby’s nursery. One thing I was concerned about which won’t be an issue is the glow being too bright when it is off but it’s only a slight glow and won’t light up the room. Followed the instructions to pair (with the Smart Life app I already had for other smart devices) and then it automatically connected to my Alexa. Like all smart switches/devices does not use 5g WiFi which is expected. It actually makes the light fixture brighter (on brightest setting) than the original toggle switch we had which is great. The default dimness is 10% but you can change that to 1% in the app (and also limit brightness as well). When using manually: I also like how it has a default brightness setting you can set up (super easy) where you click the on button twice and it goes to that setting (such as 50% or whatever you pick), and you can change the brightness BEFORE you turn it on (say you turned it off at 90% but want to turn it back on at 20%, you can turn it down before you turn it back on).

Marc Meklir:
We just built a screened-in porch and have been thinking about upgrading some lights (especially those inside the house that cast unintended light onto the porch) into smart switches. Basically, when we're on the porch in the dark listening to the frogs, we don't want ambient light from the house ruining the mood. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Installation takes about 25 minutes for the first one, especially if you're not sure how to determine which black wire is live and which black wires are load. Acquiring that knowledge is a Google search away. Thereafter, each installation takes about 10 minutes, including connecting to your WiFi network through the Smart Life app. Alexa integration is flawless. The Smart Life app allows you to write automations and enable them with Siri if you have an iPhone. The only minor issue that you should know going in is that these do not connect to Apple Home. (The Smart Life workaround with Siri is good, but if you're looking for out-of-box Apple integration, keep looking.) I wasn't looking for Apple integration specifically, so I'm not going to knock this product which never claims to have it.
If your original...

Merri D. Scott: We used this for our Christmas lights. It was very easy to install and the app gives lots of options - like running our Christmas lights on a dimmer switch - we run ours at 30% and they look as bright as everyone else's lights. I know that will be a savings! And the scheduling was so much easier than the old fashioned timer outside. Great purchase!
