> 24 hourI thought I would try these out. Glad I made the decision. They were easy to install and connect to the WIFI. The app makes it easy to program for automatic on/off set to specific times. I did have one that was bad and Amazon customer service had a replacement the next day. I guess the only thing left to consider is longevity. We will see.

> 24 hourI am completely impressed by the ease, simplicity, efficiency and cost of these smart plugs! I originally started with TreatLife products with their Outdoor outlet to control my outdoor lights around my firepit. It required me to download the app to install and integrate into my Alexa environment. Fast forward 6+ months, I finally decided to upgrade my 1990s plug-in timers for my Christmas lights. I ultimately decided to go with Treatlifes smart plugs because, as much as I enjoy having 5 different apps and brands, I wanted to minimize the number apps that I required to manage my smart home products. So, I went with TreatLifes smart plugs. They arrived nicely packed and protected with easy to follow instruction sheet contained. Since I already had the app, installation was really easy. Figuring out scheduling, pairing with my other plugs to create groups was as simple as can be. Alexa discovered them immediately and I can turn on and off all my Christmas lights by the schedule or through Alexa. I have not used the child safety feature nor the LED shut off, but I can see how those would be beneficial. Overall, these are exceptionally reasonably priced plugs that provide the same capability as other smart plugs. Ive realized that TreatLife has numerous other products in the smart home line that I will continue to explore. Their user interface is simple and their products are reliable, especially for the price. I recommend this product and this brand.

> 24 hourI ordered these to control Christmas decorations. They work, but are a nightmare to set up. The first one set up easy. The second one I had to reset three times. The last two were a nightmare. After several attempts I finally contacted Amazon for assistance as I figured they were defective. The person on chat had me do all of the same things I had already done several times to no avail, then handed it over to another representative who had me do the same things over again. When that was unsuccessful, she wanted to send me to another department but I was out of time and patience. I tried again later 5 more times and they finally connected. Not sure if I will purchase anymore or try a different brand next time. I will assess how well they work for a couple of months first.

> 24 hourIve bought a few Treatlife light switches already and have been very pleased with them. I am glad to add the 4-pack of smart plugs to my collection of smart-controlled lights. The set up couldnt be any easier. After plugging them in and pressing the power button for 5 seconds, they are ready to pair. I used my existing Smart Home app that has my other devices configured and it recognized the new plug and walked through the set up process which took less than a minute. I easily added On/Off actions for the plugs and added them to Siri, so I can just say Hey Siri, switch 1 on to activate a switch. I didnt test Alexa/Google Home integration as I just let Siri handle things for me. I also added some of them into my on at sunset and off at bedtime automation schedules. These are small enough (2 7/8 wide, 1 7/16 high, 1 3/16 deep) to use just about anywhere. The manual on/off works just fine and is convenient enough to reach, though I mainly plan to use these for home automation. Make sure you have a 2.4 Ghz wifi network (not 5 Ghz) and youll be good to go in no time.

> 24 hourPictures made it look like these were about the same width as the outlet cover plate which would have been fine, but looks are deceiving. I need them to fit inside an electric box which is wider than the cover plate and these are larger than the plate. Its a shame they dont provide dimensions. Ill see if I can use them somewhere else.

> 24 hourI originally purchased the Amazons Smart Plug through a promotion, and later purchased the Treatlife Smart Plug 4 Pack to replace all my old manual timers for our indoor and outdoor Christmas lights. So glad I did!! The Amazon Smart plug works great, easy to set up, but way too expensive. I had some issues setting up the Treatlife smart plugs; however, after I got them online, it was easy to configure my routines or schedules in the Treatlife app. I like the Treatlife app better than the Amazons Alexa app; BUT, in order to use Alexa youre stuck with Amazon. Beyond the initial setup, the Treatlife Smart Plugs are convenient, a great value, a little smaller than Amazon plugs, and they work great with Alexa. Again, the setup could be easier. Ive had some incidents where plugs (lights) turn on beyond routines. (Hey, why is the downstairs light on in the middle of the night!) Also, plugs wont fit inside outside bubble outlet box (I guess its not intended for exterior use). Overall, I highly recommend.

> 24 hourThis was a splurge for me this past Christmas - Yeah, I know, $25 isnt that much of a splurge! But honestly, I didnt know if it was going to be worth it! But after reading a bunch of reviews on a bunch of different brands of wi-fi plugs, I decided to go with Treatlife. I dont use, or intend to ever purchase or use, any smart speakers to connect with these plugs, although I considered purchasing ones that worked with Apple Homelink, but they were always more expensive. I bought this 4-pack in time to put one on the Christmas tree, and a couple other lamps around the house. The app was easy to use to get started, and it didnt take too long to figure out how to set up rooms and scenes, with multiple plugs coming on simultaneously. The best part is that with Apple Shortcuts, I can say Hey Siri, turn my light on! And bam! Its on! Thats really handy if you use Hey Siri. Also a factor was the fact that these are 15 amp plugs. I use one of them to power my home studio! (Just a small mixer and two self-powered studio monitors.) Instead of reaching around to find the switch for all three units, I tap my phone or tell Siri to power it up. (One application I recently thought of that will most likely motivate my purchase of another set of these is charging smart devices. I hate the thought of leaving our iPad charging all night, as I know this is bad for the longevity of the battery. So using one of these with a timer set for 3-4 hours would allow me to set it to charge at bed time, and know that it wont over charge the battery for the last 4 or so hours Im asleep.) I highly recommend these if you are looking for a simple product to replace lamp timers, control small electronic devices, etc. They totally exceeded my expectations!

> 24 hourSince I had treat life switches and app, it’s easy to setup the plug. Just remember it works with 2.4ghz only so make sure you use 2.4ghz when adding the plug. Afterward, the app can work from your phone through 2.4 or 5ghz or any Wi-Fi the phone connected to.
