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 got this for step lights that are too bright for my location. I installed it in minutes and programmed it to turn on and off on a schedule and dim to the perfect level. No flickering, even down to 1% power.

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.

Once installed and app set up you are good to go. Lights can be turned on and off without messing up the timer schedule. Best part, NO NOISY TIMER tick ticking and humming all the time. Worth the investment. We also have the dimmer switch type too.

I have been using the Kasa line of products now for almost 3 years. I needed a controllable power outlet to keep my son from turning on his TV after he is supposed to be in bed asleep. This works perfect. I simply shut the power off, verified the power was off, then took out the old outlet and put this one in its place. The only negative I can say is you have to use the supplied outlet cover as this one does not have a place to screw into. After the install was done I turned the power on, opened the app, and added this to my Kasa devices. From there it was easy to setup and control the outlet so now no more after hours TV watching.

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

This is an affordable way to implement a dimmable light into your smart-house schematic. However, installation comes with some gotchas that I feel are unique to this product. For one, at least for me, line and load were the opposite of what colors the wiring in my wall indicated. Secondly, there is a riser under the screws that the wires need to go UNDER for the switch to work properly. Knowing this beforehand would have saved me some time and trouble, but after a few tries I got things working. Thankfully, setup with the app was very simple. I do wish there was a way to customize the dimming as my light doesnt turn on until the dimmer is set to about 65%. The app seems to allow this, but it never works for me. Im not sure what it actually does.

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

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

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.

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.
