The most cost-effective way to turn your home appliances into smart devices is by using smart switches. They are very cheap but some customers have a difficult time installing them. People often use smart switches to control their lights. You can integrate these switches with home automation systems like Alexa and Google Home.
Treatlife and Gosund are two very famous smart product companies. In this article, we will be discussing different aspects of Treatlife smart switches and Gosund Smart switches. Afterward, you can decide which brand better suits your needs.
Treatlife vs Gosund Smart Switch
Treatlife Smart Switch
There are two major types of switches you can buy from Treatlife. The first type is a simple on and off switch and the second one is a dimmer switch. Overall, the design of these switches is quite classy. Users have mentioned that it is easier to set up as compared to the Gosund switches. So, if you have never installed a smart switch before then Treatlife is the way to go.
There are LED lights on the buttons which help you track the switches in the dark. The good thing is that they’re not too bright which means you don’t have to worry about them weighing on your eyes. There is no way you can turn off these indicators and these will remain on indefinitely.
The dimmer switch has an LED strip in the middle that controls the dimming settings of the smart switch. However, customers have mentioned that it is quite common for them to accidentally change the dimming settings while turning the switch on or off.
This is because the size of the dimmer switch is way larger as compared to the on/off switch. Moreover, the dimmer is touch-sensitive. So, when you proceed to turn the lights on/off your finger can accidentally touch the dimming bar and set the dimming settings to the lowest.
You can connect your smart switches to the Smart Life app and control them remotely. However, there are not a lot of settings you can change. As the only major function of these smart switches is to turn your lights on/off. Another advantage Treatlife switches have over Gosund is the anti-flicker mode that can adjust your lights to minimize the flickering effect. The overall design of the switch is made out of plastic and there is not a lot of metal used.
Gosund Smart Switch
Just like the Treatlife smart switches you can also buy the two variants of switches from Gosund. One has dimmer and the other one does not. The overall response of the customers was not quite satisfied with these switches. Customers that have used both of these brands recommend Treatlife switches almost every time.
The thing that people dislike the most is that the holes on these smart switches are not threaded, meaning that there is no way you can install a traditional faceplate to these switches. However, you can still use the Gosund faceplate but these plates are designed for one smart switch only and you can’t attach two switches to the same faceplate.
When it comes to dimmer switches people prefer to use Gosund Switches over Treatlife. Mainly because the overall size of the on/off switch is larger. This makes it unlikely that you’ll accidentally change the dimmer settings while pressing the on/off button.
As compared to Treatlife there is no anti-flicker mode in the Gosund smart app. The only thing that people like about these switches is the overall design and that satisfying click noise when you press the button. The dimmer switch is also touch-sensitive just like the Treatlife switch. People mention running into pairing issues quite often while using these smart switches.
Overall, both of these switches can be quite reliable depending on where you use them. The majority of users prefer to buy Treatlife smart switches because they’re easy to configure and you also get the anti-flicker mode using the Treatlife smart app. In comparison Gosund smart switches are somewhat bigger and look better than the Treatlife switches. So, if you just want a classy look then the Gosund switch should be your first choice. You can also open a community thread online forum to seek opinions from other users to help you decide on which one you’d like more.
