Kasa Smart Plug KP200, In-Wall Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control, ETL Certified , White, 1 Pack

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.

Installing the wires and switch was easy but the app and apple homekit made setup a bit flaky. you MUST be sure to select the correct type of smart dinner device from the list in the app, further down is the apple homekit version of smart dimmer thst i didnt see at 1st. had to call Kasa support where Nelsie helped me locate the right wifi setup screen and use homekit to add the device using a special barcode which is not on the device but Is Found on the inside of the top lid on the product box. Once we identified the right switch model and found the homekit code it finally went together. tech support was very patient while we sorted things out. once we got it running the device responds to alexa and homekit for dimming and Off and On as we hoped it would.

I have purchased several Kasa mini smart plugs, so I thought I would try the duplex smart wall receptacle. I started with two 3-1/2 inch deep metal Raco boxes, to hang together for the Kasa duplex smart receptacle plus one other device. I properly cut-in the box and wired both devices. Problem:. The Kasa smart duplex fit very snugly at the side of the box, but was too tall to fit. I had to file flat the 1/16th inch screws that protruded into the box. Only then could I force the box into place. But, the receptacle set up quickly and worked fine. For three months. If I mess with it, it will work for an hour or so. Then it goes offline. It no longer works with Alexa. I purchased it in October 2022 and didnt install it until December 2022. Its way past the return window. I replaced it with a Top Greener smart receptacle.

I have multiple standard Kasa smart switches in my home and decided to give the dimmer switch a try. Based on the other installs I figured this would be easy. However, the switch box is much larger than the standard switch to the point where it’s difficult to install in a crowded electrical box. I had a very difficult time cramming this into the electrical box because of the size. I’m not sure why it needs to be so much bulkier compared to the other switch. Besides from that, once I was able to complete the install, the switch works great. Unless you’re specifically looking for dimming capabilities, I would just stick to the standard Kasa smart switch.

I just started re-adding new smart items to my home and began with KASA because of the reviews. I had 2 of their color smart bulbs already and I enjoyed using my phone or Google Assistant and a timer schedule to turn them on off, dim, and change colors. But then, I wanted more... so I bought a few of these smart dimmer switches. (smart outlets, motions sensors, and cameras are next) These dimmer switches dont seem to mix well with the smart bulbs in my opinion, because they both register in the app separately with their own controls - so if the smart dimmer switch is off, you cant turn the bulb on through the app without turning the switch on first. Or... if you dim the smart bulb through the app then the smart dimmer switch gets out of sync. Its kind of weird. Im sure theres a way to make it happy, but with Google Home, I had to have both items separate if I wanted to use the dimmer switch and change the bulbs color. Anyway, I used regular dimmable LED bulbs with the KASA smart dimmer switches and they work awesome with the app or voice. And I like the little glowing light on the switch when the lights are out. Plus the time schedule feature and the ability to slowly dim and brighten the lights when you turn them on and off... really cool. And you can double-tap or hold the switch to fade out/fade in. I know smart stuff like this isnt anything new and exciting, I had all X10 smart outlets and switches with remote controls back in the 2000s, but that company was sketchy and disappeared after I spent several hundred dollars on smart things... It took me a long time to decide to start over again. I sure hope this company doesnt disappear after I spend a lot of money getting everything in my house automated with their products. :P

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

Does not see any tuya devices or use smart life app. Gave my wifi network credentials to another cloud server to get this to work. Fits in single gang box. Strange extra cover parts. Terminal screws short and must be removed with washer to wire up, a bit of extra work to put in Little clearance on the sides, but ok in the rear. Ground screw long enough. Only duplex smart outlet I found that has independent smart control on upper and lower sockets. Using to control a couple of items for a pond day and night. App knows sunset and sunrise, but not any other weather conditions, like rain, when I dont need the fountain pump on. Wanted a tuya devices like this because I have a bunch of those lights and sensors that are reliable iot with other apps

This is the 3rd or 4th one Ive bought and this brand was the easiest and best one. I will be replacing all others with this brand.
