First off. Packaging is first rate. Intructions are, so far, are the best I have seen for such a product. All the proper steps and warnings are clear so do follow them.
I have installed 2 of the 4 I bought as a package. The only installation hitch for me was that these units are 3/8" deeper than the old dimmers I replaced which made stuffing the units back in the box a real pain (likely due to age of my house which jams more wires in a typical box due to the style of wiring in the late '60's -- neutral wires all there)
Downloaded the treatlife app, tested all the functions . Connection to Alexa was straightforward. Very happy with these dimmers so far. Lots of little details make these better than the other brands I installed earlier:
(In no particular order)
* Indicator led shows the dimming level when power is off mimicking the sliders on the old dimmers.
* The Treatlife appallows you to customize the high and low settings.
* The app also has 3 dimming modes available that let you match the dimmer to the type of dimmer logic in your bulbs.
Very happy so far. Will buy again. (Which, in fact, I did)
*** Edit: November 8 2020
Just installed a couple of the newer version dimmers. Slight interface changes (no idea of inner improvements) are perfect for those who prefer a simple on/off button coupled with easy "+" "-" buttons. I like both styles.
Note: New version uses the Smart Life app rather than the TreatLife app but still offers the same functionality, such as the customizable dimmer range.
Both versions are fabulous, well designed and executed products.

Works as advertised
I installed a 4 pack on 1 Feb 2020. We have a single Google Asus OnHub that services our 3-story house including finished basement. The setup process was simple and worked flawlessly in all four installations. Here are the specifics;1. Living Room – 4xE26(A19) 8.5W bulbs in two (2) lamps, set minimum dimming to 1%, -56dBm2. Family Room – 4xE26(A19) 8.5W bulbs in two (2) lamps + 1 internal LED, set minimum dimming to 1%, -33dBm3. Cat Room - 2xE26(A19) 8.5W bulbs in one (1) ceiling fixture, set minimum dimming to 1%, -58dBm4. LG Kitchen - 2xE26(A19) 8.5W bulbs in one (1) ceiling fixture + 3xGU10 6W bulbs in one (1) ceiling fixture, set minimum dimming to 1%, -48dBmAll Wi-Fi connections are solid, i.e. no drops and of “Good” quality, the furthest distance from the Router is about 30 ft and all bulbs dim without flickering from 100-1%. I use the “Smart Life” and “Google Home” apps on an S9+ running Android 9.0 and on an iPhone X and we currently have two (2) Home Minis to control the switches. All switches function as expected and without incident. The bulbs are also as bright as they were with the original mechanical switches, i.e. no loss of brightnessI purchased these switches for two reasons;1. So that my wife could turn on the lights in several rooms where we have cameras so she could better see her cats while we are on vacation2. To turn lights on and off while we are on vacationIssues;1. It is easy to change the dimming level when turning the switch on and off. There is a different model that would make this less likely.2. I understood from the description that these switches had a random timer, but they do not. When I subsequently reviewed the description, I noted that the wording could be interpreted several ways, one of which is that the user needs to set up multiple schedules to emulate randomness. I have several "EcoPlugs" that have this “random” timer feature which I have typically used while on vacation.Overall, they work well. Cannot comment on the long term reliability yetUpdate: 7 July 2020- Replaced the OnHub with the Google/Nest WiFi Router as I now have ~50 devices on our private network. The new router is physically smaller but actually offers significantly better range.- Now have 8x DS01C (touch sliding dimmer switch), 4x DS02S (2-button dimmer switch) & 4x SS01S (non-dimming switch), all are single pole.- Confirmed with Treatlife technical support that the switches DO NOT currently support a random timer feature- Use 3 dimmers and 1 non-dimming switch to control 7 exterior lights from dusk to dawn- So far so good, no issues to date (~5 months of use)- I plan to add several Treatlife 3-way switches in the coming monthsUpdate: 22 Nov 2020- We've experienced two (2) power failures recently and I noted that most of the dimming switches revert back to the default 15% brightness despite my setting them to 1%.- Reliability after ~11 months of operation for the first group of dimming switches has been 100%. We have experienced no failures of any of the switches to date.- One other issue that I neglected to mention previously relates to the installation. The switch housing is quite large and consumes most of the space inside the electrical box. I had difficulty installing the switches in several ganged boxes, as it seems that the original electrician created some of the ganged box from multiple single boxes rather than using a purpose built ganged box. As a result, there are small flanges inside the box that prevent the switch from seating properly, i.e. the housing will not slide into the box completely. I cannot change the box (obviously) so I had to cut the flange off, which as one might imagine was troublesome. This is not a criticism of the switch, it is just an example of a challenge that one might encounter due to the way the original boxes were made/constructed.- Another challenge with the multi-ganged boxes is the amount of cable, and I didn't want to shorten the switch wires if at all possible, so it is a very tight fit.- The switch covers are larger than standard covers and in my opinion are more aesthetically pleasing since the screws are hidden. However, they only work for single boxes and most of my switches were installed into ganged boxes (see Pic). I ended up purchasing new switch cover plates that are very similar to the OEM plate, and these work well but do add to the cost of the installationLong Term (12 March 2022)I just ordered #17, the previous 16 switches are all performing well. The only other issue I've encountered is that one switch occasionally becomes unsynced from the rest when executing a smart action. I correct the issue by cycling the power to that switch, so I imagine resetting the switch would also work. This happens every 2-3 months. Also, a power outage to the house will correct the issue. Smartlife issues an alert when this event occurs so I am aware of it. BTW, the Smart action just runs these lights/switches from dusk till dawn.

-Ease of Install-
These switches were extremely easy to install. I am saying ten minutes per switch maximum. You must make sure that your home has the neutral (white) wire and have enough room in your electrical box for a dimmer. Always remember to shut off power at the circuit breaker before attempting any work yourself, and if you are uneasy, call an electrician. Hardware is provided, such as screws, wire nuts, and a single gang wall plate. Some of the bigger brands were way harder to wire up and some didn't even give hardware. Also unlike other switches, it works with any decora wallplate (not just the supplied plate).
-Looks and Feels-
I love the style of this dimmer, it is just simply beautiful to look at. Some other dimmers I have tried don't look nearly as nice as this one. I absolutely love the touch dimming slider and the way it glows. On standby, the night light/ indicator light at the bottom will be lit and one led will show the level that the dimmer is set to. When on, the night light will turn off and the dimmer will again show one led indicating its level. When you touch it, it brings a solid bar up to the light level it is set to. The construction definitely feels like some cheap plastic, but that is like every single switch in the market. It's not nearly to the point where I feel like I'm going to break the thing.
-Control-
The main on/off button sounds and clicks like my mouse, and is very likely a similar button mechanism. Not necessarily an awful thing, just something to get used to. The touch panel for the dimmer is the coolest thing ever. I very much prefer it over a traditional button or slider. It adds that little futuristic touch, you know? A double press of the main button sets the light level to minimum, which is a pretty cool built-in shortcut I use a lot.
-Wi-Fi Connectivity-
Setting up the connection and pairing to my smart home accounts was a breeze. It automatically goes into pairing mode upon the initial power-up. Resetting is simple as well, all you need to do is hold down the on/off button for several seconds. You will know it's in pairing mode as the night light/ main indicator will rapidly blink red. Once paired though, it will hardly give issues. I have six of these, four are close to my router, and two are very far. I had mentioned earlier that my WiFi speeds are in the 250 MBPS range, but for the farther switches, it can dip down to about 20 MBPS. There was only one instance where one switch lost connection but overlook it as it has not happened again in over a year. The worst that happens is a slight (5-second max) lag when turning on from a phone, although very uncommon.
-Alexa and Google Home Integration-
Honestly one of the easiest for Alexa and the Google Assistant to pair. Alexa automatically adds it to the app without even having to go into device discovery mode. I will admit I use Alexa way more than Google, so all I can say about the Google Home is that it will turn on and off the device. As for the Alexa control, I know for a fact she can power on/off, dim to any percentage, and integrate routines. My absolute favorite routines that I have made is an alarm that gradually brings up lights and one where if I say "Movie Night" it switches my nightlight led trim downlights (recommend you look those up, they are very cool) and dims all the lights to 10%.
TL;DR: Just buy it. It is a fantastic switch and you will love it as much as I do.
P.s. I know the walls in the pictures attached look ugly with their gaps and uneven surface, that's on the list of fixer-upper projects. I originally was not going to attach a video but I did last minute.

Pros:
- Easy to wire to the house. I did not grow up being very capable with handiwork around the house, but I was able to figure this out.
- Very affordable. Compared to other smart switches, Treatlife blows competitors out of the water on price, without sacrificing general usability.
- It works as intended. I have not had any problems with turning the lights on/off, either manually or with the app/alexa.
- Looks very clean when installed.
- The brightness/dimmer slide in the middle is very sensitive (which is a good thing!)
Cons:
- The main panel is very sensitive, which means that it's very easy to accidentally turn the light off while you're trying to change the brightness. This is my biggest complaint. While I don't mind it so much, since I have learned to be precise when changing the brightness and use the bottom section to turn on/off, it drives my wife absolutely insane. The newer version of this product uses a different mechanism to adjust brightness (buttons instead of a slide), and probably overcomes this obstacle. I personally like the slide, so I would like to see the main panel give more resistance and require more pressure to trigger the on/off.
- As with other Treatlife smart switches, the switch itself is very bulky (the part that is hidden in the wall), so it can be a pain to install since all the wires are squished in the back. This usually means the front is very slightly slanted. You don't really notice it unless you're looking closely. In the attached picture, you can see that the left edge is a little depressed into the wall than the right edge. After installing 8 Treatlife switches, I've found this is pretty difficult to avoid.
- If you have young children who like to turn the light on and off quickly, the switch tends to reset since the normal way to reset it is to hold down the switch for several seconds (which requires you to follow the steps to re-add it to your app). This is not a big deal, and this kind of thing comes with having children, but it's good to know if you are thinking of buying.
