TREATLIFE Smart Ceiling Fan Control and Dimmer Light Switch, 2.4GHz WiFi Only, Neutral Wire Required, Single Pole Fan & Light Switch Combo, Works with Alexa, Google Home & SmartThings, Remote Control

Works great to control both a Ceiling Fan and Light in ONE dual switch.
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.

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.

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!
