VAVOFO Dimmable Alexa Smart Dimmer Switch for Brightech Outdoor String Lights Indoor, 350W Dimmer Timer for Led or Incandescent Bulbs, Waterproof, UL Listed

I purchased this dimmer along with two Brightech outdoors LED stringlights about a month and a half ago, after my previous stringlights setup (same setup, different brands) stopped working.So far it works almost as expected - Alexa/Google Home integration seems solid, The lights are BRIGHT, so definitely good to be able to dim them. However soon after the first use, especially after being "cold" for a while, the lights FLICKER BADLY when they don't receive 100% power. These are supposed to be dimmable LED lights (In fact I used the same type of lights with a different dimmer without similar issues).That said, the problem isn't consistent. Sometimes (I think after it "warms up") the flickering goes away even at a very low brightness setting...Haven't tried contacting support for this issue yet. Will report if I get anything cleared up.

The dimmer worked perfectly with my outdoor LED lights. I connected to my network and operate it with Google voice assistant. No issues with connections. Aside from Google Home, the Smart Life app that you use to initially set up the device with is wonderful. I have multiple smart lights/switches that utilizes Smart Life and it's a great app that never stops working.Edit: The dimmer no longer works when a 2nd string of lights were connected. Now it only turns lights on and off. No more dimming functionality. The strings of lights dim individually, but when they are connected neither of the 2 strings of lights dim.Edit: Rearranged the extension cord and dimmer solved the problem. Outlet --> Extension Cord --> Dimmer --> Lights. This order worked for me.

This dimmer didn’t dim my dimmable LED string lights. I hooked it up to an incandescent lamp and it worked perfectly. I hooked an analog “dimmer” that I use to reduce power to a wood burning stove fan, to the LED string lights, and they dimmed.Here’s the link to the lights: Sterno Home 48-Ft Vintage-Style Waterproof Outdoor LED String Lights – Hanging Edison Bulbs on Black Rubberized Cord – For Backyard, Weddings, Patio, Porch, and more. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DLQRY7T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0NB4EbFJG5AYDDoes anyone have suggestions/input? Thank you.

Everything works as described. My only two caveats are that the dimmer range is not that great with my led's and the round portion surrounding the plug really limits what can plug into it. I had to buy an adapter to plug my lights into it.

I tried multiple configuration but could only get this to work with 1 strand of lights which required 25 watts (I have a meter and verified as well). When I chained 2 strands together (50 watts total), it would only turn on after a couple of tries with random success. Dimmer completely stopped working with 2 strands. Works perfect with only 1 though. Decided to keep it because I rerouted the lights so I would only need 1 strand.

We got this dimmer to control outdoor lights. It’s control entirely through Alexa as there is no separate remote. It works well but I would have been willing to pay more for it to come with HomeKit support as well.

The dimmer function worked with 30 watts of lights for a week and then it quit dimming.Poked around for a while on the web looking for help and ultimately removing 1 led light and replacing it with a appliance size incandescent 25 watt bulb fixed the problem. 30 watts was not enough for the dimmer to control.App is greatSiri Alexa and google Integration perfectWorks on 2.4 ghz WiFi... no 5 g support.Would buy again... would have been nice if the instructions mentioned a minimum watt load to be able to dim reliably.

Dimmer is non-functional, all other features work flawlessly. However, our situation calls for dimming to work. This device does not work for us. We have three strings of Britech LED lights with a total of 75 x 2 watt LED bulbs (150 Watt). This should be well below the maximum capability (350 Watt) of this device.
