I had an electrician come over and tell me that necessary neutral wires arent standard for switches, so these gadgets arent useful for many people. Two switches of mine dont have a neutral wire each, only one hot wire each. This is more of a general Amazon gripe, but if something is to be sold like everyone can use this or set it up, then some kind of warning should be stated besides, Neutral wire (A term you may not know) needed. I was thinking neutral wires were standard in every place after the 80s at least. Three stars for now as a neutral rating.

I have 2 smart dimmers since November 2022, one of them for some reason, got disconnected from the network, after troubleshooting myself, I was not able to get it back online, Chatting with customer service representative solve my issue. Jonaire guide me through all the steps and my dimmer is back online. Great customer service. Great product.

They work great, but sometimes theyre a bit glitchy and wont turn on/off when pressed. All in all theyre great to have, the KASA app works mostly ok, their latest redesign was odd and made all my devices disappear but after a few reboots they came back.... It still needs work but works mostly ok

I have installed five Kasa switches in my house and have a few more to do. No problems with any of the switches and they hook up and integrate well with Alexa. You have to download the Kasa application follow the prompts and set up the switch and once that is done go to your alexa application and find and enable the kasa skill, tell alexa to search for new devices and it will find your new switch. It work so well I plan to do all my switches. Get yourself an electricity tester pen before you start and know your wire colors. Trust me you will need it for the three way version which is a little tricky to install. Basic switch is easy if you have the white neutral wire which is required. The only thing I absolutely do not like is how they dont sit well under a standard faceplate. It doesnt sit flat under the faceplate and leaves a gap around the edge. If you only have one switch on the wall then the faceplate you get in the box will work fine but many of my switches have two or three switches side by side. Kasa needs to make their switch lay flat against the wall so a standard cover will hide it better without that gap between the wall and the faceplate.

Using app it took about 8 min to setup wifi and alex

I was planning on replacing a dimmer switch in our master bathroom, but decided to get one of these Kasa smart dimmers since it was about the same price as a dumb dimmer switch. We already have Philips Hue bulbs in our master bedroom, as thats the only place we really want smart bulbs. We have no real need for a smart switch in our master bathroom, but figured Id give it a go due to the pricing. We would probably just use the actual switch for the bathroom lights, but maybe wed grow to appreciate some of its smart functions. Pros: - Cheap, especially when on sale or when a coupon is available. - Installation is easy. Configuration via app is also easy. - Lights can be controlled by a physical switch, by smart speaker, or by app. - Works with dimmable LED bulbs, which are much cheaper than smart bulbs. - Some functions can be customized in the Kasa app. For example, you can set it up so a long press will slowly dim the lights over 10 seconds until its off. Or double tap to turn on light instantly. Cons: - The switch takes a good second or so to respond which can be annoying. Press it to turn on, and you might start to walk away before realizing you didnt actually press the button all the way. - The dim/brighten buttons click loudly. - There are only seven preset brightness settings on the switch. This is where an analog dimmer wins. However, to be fair, you can adjust in 1% increments using the app, but I prefer not to have to use my phone for this. - Adjusting the brightness using the switch is slow if you need to dim or brighten significantly. A traditional analog dimmer wins here because the slider can be moved quickly. - If the dimmer setting is set too low before turning off the lights (below 25% in our case), the lights will not turn on. The lights do work at these dimmer settings, but only after setting them on at a higher brightness setting first. This is super annoying. We like to keep the dimmer setting set very low before going to bed so when we turn it on to go pee in the middle of the night, we are not blinded. Cant do it with this dimmer, as 25% is brighter than we like for this purpose. We have this dimmer set up to control two vanity sconces, each with two bulbs (four bulbs total). The bulbs we are using are the Philips LED Dimmable Warm Glow Effect. These bulbs are fantastic as they get warmer at dimmer settings, similar to incandescent bulbs. Plus they work great with a traditional analog dimmer. I may try to swap them out with different bulbs just to see if it addresses any of my Cons above. I also might take out the Kasa switch in favor of an analog one and return the Kasa if these issues continue to bother us. Update: The switch has lost the wi-fi connection several times in the last few months. Its not that hard to reconnect it to wi-fi, but its annoying. I am going to go back to an analog dimmer switch.

It connected great to my Kasa app and Alexa, but disconnected after about a week. I reconnected it and its been fine for a couple weeks now. Just hoping it doesnt disconnect again. I love that its an outlet instead of a plug-in. It was easy to install and looks great on my wall. Thinking of buying more. I love having the option to turn things on/off when Im not home. Connected to Alexa app easily too

Easy to program on my Pixel 7. Wait to see if it is durable.

Happy I saved a couple of $ purchasing a used one all good. The box was damages as described, but the screws and wire nuts were missing. Not a big deal because I just re used the screws from the existing switch and the existing wires already were nutted. I like saving a little dough :) I just was not expecting to have missing parts so 4 star instead of 5.

First of all, let me say how much I like the Kasa light switches over the Wemo brand. I had Wemo for a number of years, but lately, they have been very flaky when it came to automatic turning on and off; apparently there were issues with connectivity to their corporate servers. That has not been the case with the new Kasa switches. Im almost in love with the Kasa switches, but not quite. With the Dimmer switch, I am noticing a second or two delay from when the switch is turned on and when the light bulb actually turns on. This is not a function of the light bulb, as the same bulb turned on instantly when using regular (non-dimmer) switches from Kasa (HS103 and HS200). I have not found a solution for this issue. Due to this issue, I knocked off a star from my review. I also found a slight issue with the installation compared to the HS200 Smart Switch. Unlike the HS200 Smart Switch, the HS220 Smart Dimmer Switch does require the need to identify the source and load sides of the switched line (both will be black inside the wall). The first time I installed one of these HS220 switches, I did not realize that, and the switch would not operate; when I reversed the connections, everything worked as expected. I did not have to worry about source vs load with the HS200; I am not sure why Kasa would not have the same circuitry in both to make it simpler to install the HS220. Also, I am not a fan of the status LED being off when the lights are on, and on when the lights are off. In the bedroom, I need total darkness; the status LED is bright enough to keep me awake. I have subsequently turned off the status LED, so it is no longer illuminating at any time. However, this is problematic for hidden lights, such as outdoor or closet lights. For these, I would love to see the ability to set the status LED to on when the light is on, as it would be nice to see the status LED indicate the actual status of those lights, without having to apply reverse logic (i.e., on is off, off is on). In this, Wemo got it right (LED on when light is on, LED off when light is off). Kasa got it partially right in having the ability to disable the LED. Overall, these are very good switches, and I would highly recommend them over the Wemo brand at this point in time. I now have a mix of HS103 (Smart Plugs), HS200 (Smart Switches - Single Pole), and now HS220 (Smart Dimmer Switches - Single Pole). They are very reliable! The Kasa app works very well. I also like how the switches can be controlled using Google Home (I do not use Alexa or Siri), as my Android phone has Google Home installed on it. Simply put, it just works. That is the reason I bought these switches.
