Smart Ceiling Fan Control and Dimmer Light Switch, Neutral Wire Needed, TREATLIFE 2.4Ghz Single Pole Wi-Fi Fan and Light Switch Combo, Works with Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, Remote Control

This is by far the best design on the market for a smart fan/light dimmer switch. I have compared countless manufacturers including Lutron, Leviton, Modern Forms, WeMo/Belkin and others. This dimmer has independent fan AND light controls in a single gang format that is affordable and stands alone against other dimmers in the "smart switch" market. TL;DR: Best combo fan/light smart dimmer available. Responsive customer support. No hidden "gotcha" issues. Installed 2-Jan-2020. Experiences thus far ... Strengths: 👍 Easy Install – Safety first. Always cut the power breaker off before you start! Also, as noted, this dimmer requires a neutral connection. Check that you have a "white" wire in your box before you order. Most have it but check. Even if your original switch isn't connected to the neutral wire (not typically required of standard dimmers) you can tap into what's in the box so long as it's there (likely found as a bundle of white wires). The Treatlife dimmer has standard color coded wires with convenient labels for reconnecting or installing the switch. I was able to remove the original manual slider controls box (Lutron) and replace with the the Treatlife dimmer within 20 minutes. 👍 Great/easy integration with Amazon Alexa – Once connected Alexa discovered the fan and light as separate devices with accurate device types ("fan" and "light"). I was able to easily add these to Alexa groups (rooms) and routines with just a few clicks. As a "light" device the the Treatlife is automatically included when you say "turn on/off the lights in here" for group control from an Alexa device. Documentation says it supports Google Home also but we don't use that and I haven't tested it. 👍 Easy WiFi connection – Connecting to the 2.4Ghz wifi was quick and easy. My mobile was likely on the 5Ghz network but I use the same SSID for 2.4 and 5. Pairing to the 2.4Ghz was easy for me. 👍 Consolidated App – As a Tuya compatible device I was able to add this switch to my existing Smart Life app without having to install a new app or create a new ID. The Treatlife app appears to offer all the same features, including firmware updates. Using either looks to work just fine which is great! 👍 Intuitive controls – Controlling two devices with only four buttons might be a challenge. Treatlife has solved it! If both devices (fan & light) are on, a simple double tap on the fan or light button allows you to make adjustments (bright/dim or faster/slower) easily. Dim LED indicators give you a visual reference to how the current brightness/speed depending on which device is being controlled. This is a great feature! 👍 Quick support response – I had no issue with the dimmer but did have a question about a promotional insert. [email protected] responded with a personal message within 20 minutes on a Saturday evening. Wow! Weaknesses: Haven't found any. I'll update this section over the coming weeks/months if I see anything. Considerations: These points are only worth considering as you look at what works for your situation. None are weaknesses as they're all clearly mentioned in the dimmer specs. • Supports 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi only. Common requirement for most devices. Most home WiFi supports this and is actually best for devices in rooms beyond where you have an access point. Don't worry about it, just be aware. • Doesn't support Apple HomeKit. Really hope to see a future bridge or hub that can add this support but for now... 😕. • Good mix of other switches and devices. When you start down the smart switch path you're investing in an "eco-system" of devices. Treatlife has several great solutions beyond the dimmer. They also integrate with other Tuya/Smart Life based products which brings a vast array of device options into a single app solution. Happy to answer questions. Just post a comment.

I am again pleased to have bought and installed another Treatlife smart device. I have most of their other products and this ceiling fan smart switch is a welcome addition to their product line. I have a child that likes to have a ceiling fan on at bed time, but turned off after a while. Since I frequently forget to turn it off, this is a great way for me to have the fan turn off automatically each night. Also I had never gotten around to installing a separate light and fan switch. We had one switch control power to the fan/light and then used the pull cords to turn on the lights or fan. So, this helps make life better in being able to turn either the light or fan from the switch and no longer need to rely on the pull chains. You need to make sure you have proper house wiring to support this switch. First, you need to have a neutral wire. That shouldn't be a problem unless your home is older. Second, you need to have separate wires from your switch box to your ceiling fan--one for fan and one for light. Most modern installs should have the standard black, white, copper wiring along with a red wire running from your switch box to the fan mounting box. Without that red wire, you won't be able to control the fan and light separately. Previously, I only had a single switch to control my ceiling fan. When I connected the light unit in the fan, it was wired together with the fan. So, we had to use the pull chain to turn the light on and off. So, I had to change the light unit's wire to my red supply wire before installing the switch. Luckly I have a newer ceiling fan unit and didn't have to remove it in order to re-wire. Aside from having to re-connect my light fixture wire, the install was straightforward. Obviously you should be skilled enough to be careful working with electrical connections. But, if you can handle turning off the right breaker and removing your existing switch, you should be able to handle this in just a few minutes. You simply connect the wires properly. The only difference from a "normal" switch connection is having separate wires for the fan and light. Treatlife includes wire labels to help make this a little easier. You don't need any sort of hub or device controller. You do, however need to make sure you have a 2.4 Ghz wifi network (not 5 Ghz). Connecting to the "app" was quick and easy. I am using the older Smart Life app and not their newer Treatlife app. As of now the Treatlife app doesn't include Siri shortcuts. So, I'm sticking with the Smart Life app for now. Otherwise, there's no difference between the apps. Their app makes it very straighforward to add timers (say automatically turn the fan off an hour after someone turns it on) or schedules (turn fan on at 8 PM or at dusk). You can also also create Siri shortcuts for actions. For me, that was shortcuts to turn lights on full, dim, or off and ceiling fan high, low, and off. I also set the fan to lower at 11 PM and turn off at midnight. The programming is very functional and easy to do. Their instructions were good and easy to understand. The manual control is easy to do. You can easily turn on/off the fan or lights with a push of a button. In order to control the light brightness, just double-tap the light button and use the +/- buttons to increase/decrease the brightness. Similarly, double-tapping the fan button allows the +/- buttons to speed/slow the fan. The only complaint my child had was that the LED on the switch when the fan runs was "too bright" for him. I don't think the LED is all that bright, honestly. I contacted the manufacturer and they are checking to see if it can be disabled. As of now, there's no solution. I put a thick post-it note on there for now, and that's solving the problem low-tech. Overall, I am very pleased as I have been with all my Treatlife purchases. This ceiling light/fan switch has met all my expectations.

I have been looking for a smart switch that could do both my fan and its attached light for quite some time now, but have been unable to find one until now. I don't know why this would be that difficult. The switch was easy to install and just as easy to integrate with Google Home. Couldn't be happier. --- Update: Well, it didn't take long for me to take a star away. When I initially installed the light using the TreatLife app, it was really painless and worked without an issue. I was then able to get it linked to my Google Assistant by linking the Smart Life service and using my TreatLife account. That added three new items to my Google Assistant which were the Light, the Fan and a combined Light/Fan item. That worked great and I was able to turn the light on/off and dim light as well. I was also able to turn the fan on/off and control the speed. Well after my initial install two weeks ago and using it with my Google Assistant, I lost the ability to control the switch for both the fan & light. Whenever I asked my Google Home to turn on/off the light or fan, my Google Assistant would respond with "Actually, that device doesn't support that functionality." I figured it would resolve itself the next day, but it didn't so I told my Google Assistant to re-sync my devices. When the sync was complete, the Light and Fan control disappeared only showing the combined Light/Fan. Then the fun started. I must have added/removed it a dozen times over the last few days without success. Google Assistant would respond with the same message. It got to be crazy because at times, it would leave an orphaned device in Google Assistant which was real difficult to resolve. I wasn't able to get this going using the Smart Life integration at all so I finally gave up, but did manage to work around it. In order to get it going, it occurred to me that the instructions said it also works with SmartThings. The trick is to download the SmartThings app and create an account using the same Google account you are using for you assistant. After I did that, I went to link the TreatLife service by searching for TreatLife as described in their documentation. Well, guess what? It doesn't exist. Since TreatLife uses Tuya, I decided to use that instead since I didn't have anything to loose and what do you know, it linked to my TreatLife account. Before I linked my SmartThings account with Google Assistant, I changed the Combined Light/Fan Switch name to "TreatLife Switch", the fan to "Ceiling Fan" and the light to "Ceiling Light". It's important that the combined switch name be renamed. If you don't, it will always turn on the light and fan when you tell it to turn on the bedroom lights which was really annoying. I then added SmartThings to my Google Assistant and the three items showed up and I can now control via Google Assistant again. I did loose the ability to control the fan speed via any voice command unfortunately. If someone figures out how to fix that, it would be awesome.

As many others seem to say, "I have been looking for a smart switch that controls both the fan and light". Till now I had to buy separate smart switches to control both. This switch works great in fact I purchased a second one with in a month of installing the first. Install was very easy as the wires on the back of the switch are identified as to their function so you won't mistake which to connect to your home wires. To install this switch to control both fan and light, first turn the breaker off for your switch. You can tag all the wires with the included stickers showing what they control. You need a hot/Line/power wire usually black to feed the electric to both the light and fan through the switch and you need a Neutral Wire usually white. They will attach to the black and white wires from the switch with the wire nuts provided. You will also need a ground wire usually green or bare copper which attaches to the green wire from switch. You then need load wires which are the wires coming from the light and fan. The fan power wire will connect to the yellow wire from switch and the light load wire will connect to the red wire from the switch. Now your switch is wired. The neutral wire and ground wire from the light and fan get attached to the ones from the switch and line/power wires. All neutral wires are connected together and all ground wires are connected together. I usually connect the wires together with wire caps like the ones provided and I then usually use electrical tape to wrap around the wires and the cap holding them together. Electrical tape comes in colors so I use the color that matches the wire for easy identification. Keep in mind this double switch is probably bigger then one you may be replacing in wall, so the switch and wires will all need to fit in the electric box in your wall. I could not find what the warranty on the switch was and so I contacted Treatlife via email as it is the only way to contact them. I got contacted by their tech, Frank Chire, who told me the warranty on the switches was 1 year. He was very helpful with other questions I had and made me feel that if anything went wrong with the switches or I had any other questions or concerns he would take care of them. The switches integrate with Alexa as well as other switches I have installed. You need to download the Smart Life app to your phone and if you want the switch to work with Alexa then you need to enable the Smart life skill in the Alexa app. The switch was detected by the app without any issues. Once installed on the app you can change the switches name and don't forget to name the individual light and fan switches to something that makes sense to what they control and where they are located. The switch has a light built in which works opposite of most in the sense that if the light or fan is on the internal light is lit. If the fan or switch is off the internal light for that switch is off. I like a lighted switch so I can see it in the dark to turn it on, this defeats that purpose. If you are using it with Alexa then you can just tell Alexa to turn it on. It is a bit bright. This can hopefully be fixed with a software/firmware update that will allow the app to set when the internal light goes on based on the switches state on or off and it should also allow the option to have it off all the time. The other issue I have is the dimmer at the top is shared between both switches which is a bit cumbersome. It may be a nice design change to have you hold the individual switch down on the bottom of that switch to lower it and the top of the switch, (it would be like a rocker switch), to raise. Overall the best switch on the market for controlling both the fan and light of a ceiling fan and at a very good price. The Treatlife DS03 Fan and Light combined switch Pros and Cons: Pros: Easy Install with the wires marked as to their function. Two switches in one. Works well with Alexa for making a smart home. Low price for a smart switch. Tech support from my interaction seems to care about customer satisfaction. Everything but screw drivers are included, Switch, Cover Plate, Wire nuts, and labels for your wires. 1 year warranty. Cons are all just my personal feelings and do not affect the switches operation: The internal light on the switches is not controllable as to when or if it is on and works opposite of what I am used to. The single dimmer portion of the switch is a bit cumbersome to use. Treatlife can only be contacted via email no phone number. I will revisit this review if the switches give me any issues. For now 5 stars. Great value.

I have 5 ceiling fans in my house and 4 of them have pull strings. The fifth one doesn’t have pull strings so I’m using a regular ceiling fan/light wall switch. The problem with that switch is it has tiny buttons and it works like a remote. It means that you have to install the wall switch and install the receiver inside the fan’s canopy. I was looking for a better wall switch for other fans for a long time. I finally found this Treatlife smart ceiling fan and light control. My first impression about it is it’s a handsome wall switch with large buttons and it’s a smart device. It converted my 3-speed fan to 4-speed fan and added a dimmable function to my fan light. Installation is easy because you don’t have to install anything on the fan itself. The installation is at the original wall switch which could turn on/off only the fan lights before. The fan speed had been controlled by the pull string. After installation, both fan speed and light can be controlled by Treatlife wall switch or SmartLife app or Alexa voice command. For installation and usage, I followed the direction in the included manual. In the manual, there are 3 QR codes: download ios app, download Google app, and TreatLife tech. If somehow you don’t like the Smart feature, the device can work as a regular fan/light wall switch. If you want the Smart feature, you have to down load SmartLife app, open an account, and add the device to your account thru the app. To add the device to the app, make sure the device can control the fan’s light and speed first. Then with the fan light is on, you press and hold the light button for 5 seconds, you’ll see the led light on the switch blinking fast. You open the app, add a device, select “Switch (wi-fi)”, enter your home wifi SSID and password, and that’s it. I made a mistake that did it while the light is off and it failed to add the device. There is a second method to add the device but the first method works and it’s easier. However, after the device is added, if you press and hold the light button again for 5 seconds, the device will be reset and you have to add it back to the app again. I use Amazon Alexa app to add Smart Life account as a skill so Alexa can control my fan now. To adjust the fan speed or the light level on the wall switch, you may need to double click the fan or light button first. Otherwise, it’ll adjust the last button (fan or light) that was pressed. For the price, it’s reasonable even comparing to other non-smart fan/light wall switches sold on Amazon.

I was looking for a 1 gang light and fan combo smart switch that was compatible with SmartThings. Amazingly this switch fulfilled all of those requirements!! Impressed with the numbers of reviews and YouTube videos this switch had I figured it must be a safe bet. Design wise I thought the switch looks great. Relatively simple to use once you know about double clicking the buttons. I also didn't mind the size. It was a bit large and only offered wires coming from the back instead of terminals, but it was still able to fit in the box. Wiring it was easy and when I went to check my work before installing the ceiling fan.... That's where the problems showed up. First I used a non contact voltage tester and found that both the fan and light load had power even when the switch should have been in an off state. Checked again by clicking both switch buttons and found the same result. Even successfuly set up the switch in the TreatLife app because I wondered if the switch was permanently on until initialized in the app for some reason. This was not the case. I came back with a multimeter to check again. Indeed when the switch was in an off position the multimeter read around 50-80V turning the switch on brought it to 120V. At first I thought I had a defective unit. I started researching if others had the same issue. I found out others indeed have had the same problem. The cause is if you use other smart dimmers on the same circuit (controlled by same breaker). It seems this switch leaks current into the light and fan loads even when the switch is off. People installing this switch are likely going to be installing other dimmers nearby. Others have reported issues with their fan turning off and on depending on their other dimmer's status. I've never seen a switch do this before. Prior to this Ive used Inovelli, Kasa, and GE smart switches. It should also be noted that these other switches are UL Certified while this switch is not. Not saying that UL is the end all be all, but it definitely adds more confidence to the product. If it were UL Certified, there probably would be no current leaking issue. For now I'll either be switching to a 2-Gang and add smart control that way or just stick to a dumb switch for now. I was really hoping this switch would be the excellent solution I needed, and it almost was, but this issue makes the switch useless to me. I'll also note in the fine print of the Amazon listing I did find a sentence stating that this switch can be the only dimmer on the circuit. An issue like this should be bold and upfront for every consumer to understand before purchasing because this is not the norm for other switches. If Treatlife fixes these issues in the future, I would be more than happy to come back and give them another chance. I hope this review reaches and helps someone in a similar situation as me!

This is my second one of these switches in my new home. Although I have seen poor ratings due to the app, I have only had one incident with my first switch when I had to reconnect it to the system, which I think was a power glitch issue. These switches are easy to install, and this second one I added to the TreatLife app and hooked with Alexa in seconds. They are smart devices, so they have their own chip and must have their own power and neutral source in order to operate. If the white wire in the switch box is only the switch leg, there is no neutral in the switch box. If your system puts power in the switch box and then sends to the fan and/or light, you're golden, but the majority of wiring puts the power source in the fixture and then a switch leg to the switch, which is why you must add a neutral wire. That can be tricky. It is not a good idea, as I have seen reported, to grab a neutral from any other circuit (such as a receptacle in the same room) for this purpose, especially if you have a newer house with Arc Fault breakers. All the wiring in that lighting circuit has to be from the same circuit or you can have real problems. With my first switch, I ran a new neutral wire from the light ceiling box to the switch box. In this second, I had wired the light to be controlled by a three-way switch. Since the new setup would use Alexa, I didn't care about the three-way, I wired around one of the switches and used that wiring to supply power and a neutral to the switch from the ceiling box. Worked great. To me, any extra work it takes to run the neutral in there to make the switch work is worth the effort. The system works like a charm.

I purchased this item as it was a great price, looked nice, had an easy install and had Alexa integration features. When I received it, it did indeed look good and the tactile button presses were very nice and well made, and intuitive. Install was also very easy and fit within a deep box without issue. It's nice you don't need a fan module to install in the fan itself (think Insteon). But that's where the joy wore off. I had a terrible time getting it to link to the app. And my router was only about 20 feet away with a direct line of sight to this switch. Eventually I tried all of the options they had for connecting, and I somehow got it to work. Can't even describe it as I had tried everything multiple times. Then I tried Alexa integration. While I did get it integrated fairly easily, I could never get the right words to get it to turn on/off my fan or switch fan speeds. I could get it to do the lights, but that was it. Tried naming the switch different names, etc. No luck with the fan. Finally, I set my fan using the pull chain to it's highest speed of the 3 speeds it has. I have the 52" Kateri 5 - Blade fan made by Beachcrest Home. The highest speed on this switch worked great. However, setting each of the speeds on the switch 1, 2 or 3 resulted in my fan turning VERY slowly on each of those. It was about 1 revolution every 2 seconds on the switch 1 speed. On switch speed 3, it was 1 revolution every second. Then on switch speed 4, it was very fast. So bottom line, speeds 1, 2 and 3 are worthless. I contacted support and there was nothing they could do. They tried to tell me that on this very Amazon webpage mentioned that they did not support 3-speed fans. But no where could I find that. I did find what they didn't support, and it only mentioned older homes without a neutral wire, and fans with an installed remote control setup. To put the icing on the cake, within the box was an offer for a free switch. I contacted them about this, and they replied telling me that offer was over. So I am returning the switch. It looks like the only other available option is Insteon Keypad and Insteon FanLinc (which I already own their products) but it is over $150 for the setup compared to this. But, at least they work! This does not...unless you have a supported 4-speed fan. One more thing. I was offered by this company a partial refund which I thought was very nice. I took the offer, but then they requested that I needed to change my review to 5-stars before they'd give it to me. I wonder how many other reviews for this product have changed their rating to get the refund?? This review is honest as a user of this product, and many other smart home products...

I installed this a few days ago to control an older-model ceiling fan and light at my cottage. The installation went well and the switch connected to my wifi without any significant problems. I needed this wifi-controlled switch because I plan to turn on my electric fan heaters remotely to warm the cottage up before I arrive, which usually takes at least a few hours or even longer if it's cold. The fan is perched high in the vaulted ceiling and is necessary to mix the warm and cold air. The wifi thermostat for the forced air fan heaters (Sinope TH11124WF, reviewed separately on Amazon) also works quite well. I really like the app (called Treatlife). It's pretty slick; as good as I've used with my many wifi devices. In fact, I liked the app enough that when I went to replace another light switch, I bought a Treatlife product so I can use the same app. I now have over a dozen proprietary wifi apps, which can get to be cumbersome, so I'm starting to buy products from manufacturers that I know and like for both their products and their apps. It seemed a little expensive for what it is, but it works well so I'm satisfied. Regards, Mark

Overall, this switch works well. Easy to sync up and easy to use. My biggest gripe is how large it is. I had a lot of troubles getting it into the electrical box and screw down tight enough. I installed a new fan in a room that had a switched outlet. I ran new 14/3 wire to the box and rewired it so that the switched outlet was no longer switched and instead I controlled the fan/light in the ceiling with this dimmer. The wiring itself wasn't very difficult but getting things into a standard 12.5 cubic inch box was tricky. I had to constantly rearrange the wires and got everything to JUST fit. I even had to install a different box because mine was installed "incorrectly" by today's standards and didn't have the amout of room needed. There is still a minor gap but its good enough for me. I would suggest that if you have a standard single outlet box and have 3 wires coming into it, look into getting a deeper box (3" deep instead of 2.5") installed to save yourself some headaches or even install a larger 2 gang box and have a blank plate beside it. I was originally going to do a 2 gang box and have separate controls. I kind of wish I had to save me A LOT of troubles. The other option would be if they had screw terminals or push in connectors on the switch itself instead of having to wire nut everything together. I may have been able to save some space inside the box.

Installation was same difficulty as all of these smart switches. Automated control is pretty straight forward but the manual control is very different than the old "analogue" switch that was there. This requires button combinations (you have to remember to double tap the mode) to set the switch to which mode your dimming/speed adjustments are going to affect (fan vs light). The old switch was just two simple sliders, one labelled "light" the other "fan". Not a big deal, but different.

Electric connection was easy, the network was discovered easily (even if my network has 2G and 5G manage automatically) which is not always the case with wifi/smart bulb switches I tried. Seems to work better with the Smart Life app than the TreatLife apps when integrating with google home. Both android apps are working perfect, only difficulty is integration with google home apps/assistant. I had to work hard to make it work good enough. I can control the fan and light with google voice assistant, but with the google home app, I can control only on/off (for both, the fan and the light). I am very happy with the product. I recommend.

I saw this item on a tech review video and thought it was a great idea. I ordered it immediately. Some people might think it's pricey, but because this smart switch controls two things - I think it's a justified price? The original wiring in my house was a little pesky (that's what happens when black wires are used for everything!), so it took a few attempts. After figuring the wiring and snapping everything into place - the light switch didn't work, but the fan switch turned on the fan and the light. I couldn't control them separately via the switch, app or Google Assistant Because it's summer (and I have no air-conditioning) I decided to live with it and use the pull chain for the light, since the fan is always on for the most part. I did like that I was able to control it from the phone, and set schedules/routines. However, hours later I discovered that something in the wiring in my light switch impacted the electricity in the stairwell and another bedroom. Not sure why it was wired like that, but that caused the cons to outweigh the pros. It is a quality product, but since my original wiring wasn't straightforward - I guess it just wasn't meant for me. Maybe if I knew more about how wiring works across multiple rooms and had more free time to troubleshoot it could've worked out. Thanks though!
