TREATLIFE Alexa Smart Plug 4 Pack, 7 Day Heavy Duty Programmable Timer, Works with Alexa and Google Home, 1800W 15A WiFi Smart Outlet, Child Lock, Vacation Mode, Reliable WiFi Connection

We bought these for our Christmas Lights throughout the interior of the house so that we could ask Alexa to turn them on/off for us. Setup was slightly tedious in having to download the proprietary app, and then add each plug individually (Admittedly though, this may be user error). Once added, theyve worked flawlessly with Alexa to manually turn on/off (we havent tried a schedule yet since the kids are having joy asking Alexa to turn them on/off). One last note: Since their placement varies in distance form the WiFi Router, they dont always turn all on/off at the exact same moment, but do switch their state as asked.

NOTE: I received these at no cost to review. I have purchased several Treatlife products (smart switches) in the past and used the SmartLife app to configure. These devices came with instructions to configure using the Treatlife app, and to enable a skill and link to my Amazon account. I had not done this before so I reached out to customer support for clarification and they were helpful and timely. Once configured, I was able to easily recognize and use Alexa for voice control. I tested the timer function and it works great. I tried using the smart plug with a Levoit Air Filter. It would power on then power off immediately (reason for 4 stars). Not sure why. I tested all four plugs with a large fan, small fan, and two desk lamps. These all worked OK. A good deal when buying 4 for under $22.

I bought these plugs to run high wattage items. These plugs work extremely well, but I do not recommend them because it is very confusing to set up. The instructions are printed to that you need a magnifying glass to read them. Using our phone to set it to the internet took several attempts. Once you get it set up with Alexa, it works quite well. This is a good product, but setup is a nightmare. Of all our electrical devices we have, this was the most difficult to set up. This would be a lot easier if you could use the computer to set it up.

Updated: After my initial review, customer support was awesome and reached out to send me a free replacement for the one that didnt work with the 4 pack I ordered. Awesome customer support and awesome product. Love it! Three out of four aint bad? Bought these to control lamps and other lights in our new house. Three of the four work consistently via Alexa (both voice and schedule) without any issues. The 4th has a mind of its own and turns off and on at random. Weve tried it in several locations controlling different lamps and lights and got tired of it randomly turning off the light when we needed it so we can no longer use it. Three of the four plugs get 5 stars but the one dud made me give this product a 2 star overall...

Works great. Loved the App. Set up was dummy-proof.

I 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.

Works well

I have been using mechanical lamp timers for years and they never lasted long. Ive tossed a few when they developed an annoying tick. They are not easy to reprogram, bulky. This mini smart plug was the perfect solution if you have a smart phone. Easy to install, easy to program, and instant control no matter where you are. Great purchase. I have 4 of them and a smart switch now. Life is easier.

This is the first smart plug Ive installed and used. Its actually about 100 times better than any analog or legacy device. We had an old timer function unit with the mechanical dial for the aquarium we have and that thing seems like its always getting out of time with the clocks. This would work perfect for cycling a light on and off during the day. I used it through the Alexa app to power an LED overhead light. I love these things as they are ready to go right out of the box. As soon as I plugged it in, it was in pairing mode ready to connect. Installation took about 2 minutes. The box states 1800W max so if thats a limitation for you, consider something a little more heavy duty. The plug does take up a fair amount of space laterally, but theres plenty of space on a dual plug outlet to run this device and a regular plug in device.

I have the light switches and was using WEMO. However, with a mesh system wemo kept losing “connection”. I got some inexpensive outlets and soon found out that they only allow six connections. After my experience with treatlife’s customer service, I bought these. They work amazing. No issue with disconnections, and I added everything to the smartlife app. I love them. The only concern I have (admittedly I don’t know if it’s an app issue) is the 24 hour clock. I would like a 12 clock.
