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

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.

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 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.

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.

Please read my updates at the bottom. This review starts with my initial impressions and then you will see how the device performed over time. In a nutshell, it stinks. I have been a home automation person for decades and have been waiting forever for an integrated ceiling fan light and fan speed Smart control. This device works great, even adding an extra speed for the fan than is typical. I like how it remembers your last fan speed and light dimmer setting and when toggling often on mechanically or by voice through Alexa it will return to that setting. I gave it four stars instead of five for several reasons. The first is the sheer physical mass of the device. I had to install this in a triple work box with two other switches that are also smart switches and bulky. This one is the juggernaut of the bunch and requires a lot of space. Wiring the device, with my skill set which is advanced, was quite simple and forward however rearranging all the wires in the workbox to make space for this behemoth took me a complete hour. Secondly, using the TreatLife app, it took me the better part of 45 minutes to get the app to successfully integrate the switch onto my Wi-Fi. I had to constantly put it back into pairing mode, force stop the app, wipe out the cache, and restart again to get it to work but it finally did. After integrating it with alexa, you will see it show up as two different devices, the fan and the fan light. You should rename them so that you're not just saying "ceiling fan" when sometimes you mean the fan itself and sometimes you mean the light. The default names are fan and light. If you care to, you can integrate the fan and light into its own Alexa group so therefore when you say ceiling fan off you're turning off the light and the fan itself and when you say ceiling fan on you're turning on the light and the fan together. Of course you will need to give this group its own name and not the same name as the one you used for the fan alone or the light alone. I just called mine "ceiling fan group". Thirdly, getting this thing to work with Alexa was a bit difficult because the directions are incorrect and incomplete as stated above and continued below. TreatLife allows 4 fan speeds, one more than is typically found. Nice. I like the way that your last fan speed and light dimmer settings are remembered. When toggling off and on, either manually or by voice, it returns to that remembered setting. I gave it four stars instead of five for several reasons. The first is the sheer physical mass of the device. I had to install this in a triple work box with two other switches that are also smart switches and bulky. This one is the juggernaut of the bunch and requires a lot of space. Wiring the device, with my skill set which is advanced, was quite simple and forward however rearranging all the wires in the workbox to make space for this behemoth took me a complete hour. Secondly, using the TreatLife app, it took me the better part of 45 minutes to get the app to successfully integrate the switch onto my Wi-Fi. I had to constantly put it back into pairing mode, force stop the app, wipe out the cache, and restart again to get it to work but it finally did. Thirdly, getting this thing to work with Alexa was a bit difficult because the directions are incorrect and incomplete. The printed directions say to use the Smart Life app, which is a dead end of following the steps given in the directions because you will never get to the point where it asks for your account settings. I may have had more trouble than others as I already had the Smart Life app, and it was not a new install. Anyway, the Smart Life app is completely unnecessary because the Treatlight app has a direct integration through it's own Amazon Alexa skill. Skip the Smart Life app and go to the TreatLife skill on Alexa to integrate it. Considering all the difficulties of actually getting it into the box and setting it up, if you were paying an electrician by the hour that might add up. Fortunately I was able to do that all by myself and save those bucks. Update: I bought a second one and had the same device registration issues. It took me 7 tries to get the device registered and on my network. Why? I did the same thing each time. Update 8/2023 the switch has developed a persistent problem where the LED light bulbs flicker on the (bright) side. Yes, LEDs frequently have this problem but that is related to dimming and you can trim the minimum dim setting to get rid of the flicker. This is on the high side and they will flicker or pulse and I CAN'T EVEN TURN THE LIGHT OFF either with the switch or with the app. I have to physically turn off the light by using the fixture pull chain and then after a while it will reset. My review now has to be to a "don't buy this" . I cannot justify the purchase of a light switch that makes it impossible for you to turn off your light and pulses light in the dark. I'm even afraid it may be hazardous. Update December 2025. In addition to all the other problems listed above, I have discovered another problem with the software of this device. Unfortunately, where I live, there are frequent power outages. My entire home is smart home powered so I have legions of devices controlling everything. After a power outage, they nearly all come back and go online except for my treat life switches. I have to set them up again nearly every time. This is completely unacceptable. Now downgrading to one star.

I have a number of Hunter fan/light wall controls in our home, which have generally worked well--so when it came time to add another fan as we finished our basement, I tried to get another. Unfortunately for them, they're out of them during COVID--and after waiting months for them to get new stock, I finally gave up and tried this model instead. And I'm very glad I did! My family loves being able to control the fan and light via our Alexa. However, all that praise comes AFTER I got past installation... When I was first ordering this control, I noticed that its Amazon page mentions multiple times (including directly in the item title!) "neutral wire required". Again, on the carton, boldly highlighted in yellow, "Neutral wire required....confirm whether there is a neutral wire inside the switchbox before opening the package." Again multiple times in the instruction manual--"neutral wire required". Am I misunderstanding something, or don't ALL fans and lights--and for that matter, ALL household circuits--use a neutral wire? That's an awful lot of emphasis for something that is standard. What ISN'T mentioned nearly as prominently is the fact that this control requires a SECOND LOAD wire between the control and the fan. MANY fans are wired with only one load wire--typically 14-2 wiring. (That is, one load wire-black, one neutral wire-white, and one ground wire-bare copper.) The light and fan are then controlled by pull chains at the fan. 14-2 wiring won't work with this control--you need 14-3 wiring, which has an additional load wire (typically red). THIS IS THE WARNING WHICH SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED FOR CUSTOMERS, NOT THE NEUTRAL WIRE. The next step is figuring out which wires are which--at both the switch, and at the fan. At the switch, the manual schematic shows that the yellow wire from the switch should be connected to a yellow wire from the wall, the red wire from the control should be connected to the red wire from the wall, and black to black, white to white, and green to green. It further states that "The wire colors indicated in this manual are the usual colors..." NOT TRUE! Most 14-3 wiring has a black wire, a red wire, a white wire, and a bare copper wire leading to the fan. (They don't use yellow because in certain fluorescent lighting, white and yellow can be hard to differentiate.) The power supply wire is typically 14-2--consisting of black, white, and bare. So the correct wiring is: --Black wire on control to the black wire in the 14-2 bundle in the wall --White wire on control to both white wires in the wall --Green wire on control to both bare copper wires in the wall --Red wire on control to the red wire* in the wall --Yellow wire on control to the black wire* in the 14-3 bundle in the wall * These two may need to be switched--it depends on how the wires are connected in your fan TreatLife really should update their wiring schematic to more clearly explain this wiring. Having done a number of fan and control installations, I can say that most other manufacturers explain this much better. Someone with electrical experience will have no problems--but without clearer instructions, many lay people will struggle. Once you get this done, the next fun step was getting the app installed and running. The controller only supports 2.4Ghz networks. My router is dual band--5Ghz/2.4Ghz, so it would seem there would be no problem there. However, my phone automatically chooses which one to be on--there's no way to force it to the other--and it was choosing to be 5Ghz. So I couldn't talk to the controller. Both the manual and the app provide instructions on how to get your router to be only 2.4Ghz, but my router couldn't use those instructions. After some internet research, I ended up walking down the street for about a block until I was far enough away that my phone lost the 5Ghz signal, and thus connected to 2.4Ghz. A hassle--but, hopefully, only a one-time hassle. Once you connect, and then go through the process to connect the controller to your Alexa, the Alexa actually finds TWO devices--one of which is named something like "DS03 Ceiling Fan Controller", and the other whose name is a series of Oriental characters. (I'm not familiar enough with languages of that part of the world to know if they're Mandarin, Japanese, or something else.) The controller actually treats the fan and the light as two separate devices--the device with the non-alpha name is the light. Once you realize that and rename it to what you want, the rest was quite easy. Although I will mention that if you look for assistance on either their website or their app, you do get to some pages which are a little hard to understand, as they were written by someone who clearly isn't a native English speaker. They made a valiant effort--but TechLife may want to invest in better translators and/or tech writers. So, with installation complete--both I and my family love this controller. The manual controls are easy, clear, and logical, and the Alexa controls work consistently well. A couple of the small chiclet buttons on the control feel like they may be a bit flimsy, so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up--but that may just be me adjusting to the latest in modern technology. :) I know I've probably dwelt a bit too much on the negatives in this review, so let me end by saying that it really is an impressive controller. I look forward to installing more of TechLife's products in my home--perhaps even replacing some of my beloved Hunter fan controls!

Recommendation: For anyone looking to upgrade their basic ceiling fan to a smart, convenient solution without spending on a new fan with built-in features, the TREATLIFE Smart Ceiling Fan Control is a fantastic choice.

I have these on all of my ceiling fans throughout my house, 6 in total. Overall I love these switches for both the way the look and the way they work to control the fan and lights separately.. with that said I've had mixed success with their longevity. Since installing the 6 switches when I bought this house 5 years ago, I have had to replace 4. Two which would no longer connect to my network, the other two just stopped working all together. I did notice that they appear very sensitive to power outages, as the two that completely stopped working both stopped after a brief power outage. Overall I'm happy with my purchase, I just wish they held up a little longer, especially for their price.

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

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.

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.

Bought this for my daughter's room to replace the existing ceiling fan/light combo switch I had. Installation was easy enough and initial setup through the Smart Life app was very easy. I have two main issues with the switch though. The first one is that sometimes the light will stay on even though it is "turned off". There appears to be no rhyme or reason for it. It will do this when you use the app to turn the light off or the physical switch. Eventually, after playing with both the switch and the app the light will work correctly and turn off when it is supposted to. This appears to be completely random. The second issue is the Google Home integration does not work. It will show up in my "home" but it only shows up as a "light" and even then the light from google home controls the fan. Turning off the light in Google Home turns off the fan. There is no ability to dim the light or control the fan independently. This is unfortunate as the Google Home integration was the primary reason I purchased this. All my other products registered in the Smart Life app work correctly and integrate into Google Home with the exception of this one product

I like this switch. It was easy to install. Instructions were clear. Works as expected. Also works with the SmartLife app for mobile phones.
