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

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.

We built a new home (3100 sq ft) and every switch in the house is Kasa and we have absolutely no regrets. In our previous home we used a few z-wave switches and paired them to a wink hub. This overall was pretty good but it wasnt good enough that I wanted to do the whole new house in them so I went looking for another solution/path. I ordered a few different switches. paired them up with our google home and ultimately ended up with Kasa as our choice and ordered 70+ switches (this included some dimmers, some not, as well as their 3 way kits). We got them all installed, paired up and just like in my previous test, every last one of them worked flawless. Below are a list of positives: -- DIMMER SETTING - The dimmers have a awesome feature where you can set the lowest level of dimming so that if your bulbs pulsate or anything you can get rid of that. -- Operation speed - no matter if controlling via the actuall switch or throug google home the speed is instantaneous. This is one things that blew my mind as our previous z-wave/wink hub combo would often take a few trys and/or take a second to actually turn on. -- The Kasa App - There are a few other products in our home that are not TP-Link brand and while they work fine, the applications that you have to configure the device in and/or the application that you pair up with Google Home seem like an afterthought. The Kasa app is a solid piece of software that literally has worked flawlessly as we paired all of our switches. The Negatives (dont let these sway you to not buy but...) -- the size of the switch. If you have a ton of wires and or a super shallow box in the wall it may not work or you may have problems pushing it in. I noted the size of the switches to the builder but it unfortunately didnt make it to our electrician and they used standard sized boxes. The switches all ultimately fit but some of them took some work. (BTW.. this is a universal problem amongst all smart switches. -- REALLY NIT PICKY --the switches come with a beautiful screwless plate however if you have a multi gang box (multiple switches in the same box) then you will need to find another plate. We tried a few screwless designs and ultimately stuck with these plates but the switches dont fit perfectly flush with these plates. This is especially true if you have dimmer/non dimmer/3 way switches in the same box as all of those switches seem to have different thickness backing plates on the switch. Overall, these are awesome, work great and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

The kasa smart switch is great buy for me, easy to install and connect to WiFi. Kasa mobile app has step by step instructions to connect with wiring color codes. Customer support 24x7 and able to talk to real human ( Mharvic) for troubleshooting issues .

3 nice things about this dimmer: 1. Allows for local control, meaning that you can control it with Home Assistant. 2. You can turn off the backlight (in case you are using it in a bedroom and dont want the wall switch lighting up the room. 3. If you need to reboot the light for some reason, you can push the bottom right small button One SUPER annoying thing about KASA devices: They now FORCE you to create a cloud account just to connect these to your wifi. I absolutely detest this practice. Once I connected the light, I blocked all internet access to these (and every smart IOT device in my house) using my OpenWRT router. Overall recommended. I have many of these devices for the reasons listed above.

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.

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

I have dozens of TP-Link KASA products installed in my home, including a dozen smart plugs (majority only get seasonal use), nine on/off switches, one 3 way dimmer, and five of these dimmer switches. They are well made, an unbeatable value when on sale, and straightforward to install (note that all TP-Links Kasa switches require a neutral wire - depending on when your house was built and how the switch boxes were wired, you may or may not have a neutral available in your wall switch boxes). These connect to the 2.4Ghz band of WiFi - note that these switches can end up out of range of your WiFi if you have your access point or router poorly positioned in your house and/or you have a substandard access point or router - I have no connectivity issues with an access point located on the ceiling of my first floor in the center of my 2 story home - be prepared to up your WiFi coverage if youre serious about having a smart home - I have a separate IoT VLAN defined on my router and provisioned to the 2.4 GHz band of my multiband AP to keep my IoT devices off of my home network. A single AP covers my 2700 SF house, for both the 2.4 GHz band IoT devices, and the 5 Ghz band human facing devices on my home network. These switches are large, as are most smart switches - Ive found they install easily in the modern plastic switch boxes in my renovated kitchen and family room addition, but can be a tight fit in the original steel switch boxes in the remainder of my 1963 vintage home - I have taken to replacing the original steel boxes with new old work plastic boxes, and will spec the extra deep old work boxes if the stud cavity allows for it - this solves the space issue, and again if serious about a smart home are some of the things you need to do to be on board. These switches are Decora style and are activated by pushing the bottom of the plastic paddle for both on and off functions - while the ergonomics are a bit different than a standard dumb Decora switch, I like them, and honestly I use voice or routines to control the switches to the point where the physical switch interface is a non-issue. In multi-gang box situations, I have taken to replacing any dumb toggle switches with corresponding dumb Decora paddle switches for those switches I dont need smart functionality in, in order to keep the look consistent. I have had no issues with the yoke depth of these TP-Link Kasa switches in terms of being able to install standard wallplates - I have replaced my old steel Mulberry plates with screwless plastic Claro branded Lutron wall plates for a nice clean consistent modern look - see photo. Steel plates are a no-no BTW with smart switches - they obstruct radio signals no matter what tech you are using - WiFi, Zigbee, Lutron ClearConnect etc. I also use Wago lever style wire nuts for the end point connections for the wire leads coming off of these Kasa switches - they save some space and can also save some wear and tear on the house wiring rather than have to untwist pretwisted and wire nutted connections to make changes and/or additions in the future. I have dozens of Alexa routines set up using these switches - the switches can be used to initiate an integration, unlike my Lutron Caseta switches, which can only be acted on by a routine, they themselves cant initiate a routine. These also integrate with Home Assistant. These have been dead reliable for me in terms of connectivity and responsiveness. Most of the negative reviews are unwarranted IMO.

Make sure you use LED bulbs if you have multiple bulbs connected to this switch as this switch only allows 350 watts. Bought this to regulate the time my front porch fixtures come on in the eve and turn off in the morning. I have three fixtures with a total of 14 bulbs, with 60watt regular bulbs my wattage was 840, the switch kept clicking off due to over heating. Switched the bulbs to LED, 6 watts per bulb and reduced to 84 watts, the Kasa Smart dimmer switch works great. I set my schedule and my lights come on at the time I set every eve and go off at the time I set in the morning. Easy to install, a bit tricky to program but go step by step as listed and you will get it done. Im a 59 year old that has a technical interest.

Look, I have a TON of Kasa stuff in my house. Switches, dimmers, three-way dimmers, strip lights, smart power strips. Seriously, maybe everything except cameras, because I have an entire hardwired CCTV system in the house. I like Kasa, and I really want to like these. They were easy to install (as long as you understand electrical, dont hurt yourself people!) And I know the trick to connect them even if the app doesnt detect them. They are a little bulky, but it you can handle working them up you can make them fit in the box just fine, Im sure. ...BUT... I use HA, and thats one of the reasons I chose Kasa. AND when I bought these outlets, I was under the impression that they did power monitoring. Now theyre installed and configured in all the systems, and I learn that they actually do not have energy monitoring capability. Disappointing. And I dont understand why that feature wouldnt be included on these. Seems like a basic feature, especially since its included in all the wall wart style smart plugs I have, most of which are also from Kasa? TPLink, if this can be added by software update, that would be great, as it really just seems like a basic feature that should have been provided.

I rejected this TP-Link dimmer to begin with because it was too cheap and I didnt recognize the name. Of course it cant work as well as the $100 name-brand Lutron dimmer! Well, the Lutron dimmer couldnt do a stupid simple task, remembering the last used brightness setting and restoring that setting the next time you hit the switch to On. (With the Lutron dimmer their Pico handheld remote (included in that $100 kit) did have a favorite setting/button, but, who walks around with yet another separate remote (or hauls out their phone) to turn on a light when walking into a room? I just want to hit the wall switch like I have done for nearly 70 years! (God, did I just write that? How did I get that old???) I ordered this TP-Link dimmer (for less than 1/5th the cost of the Lutron), received it the next day, yanked out the Lutron dimmer, replaced it with this dimmer, adjusted the brightness, buttoned everything back up, tapped the switch to off, waited a couple of seconds, tapped the switch on, and, voila, the lights went back to the previously set brightness setting. Thank you, TP-Link. Great product! (Oh, and the TP-Link app is easier to use and their product line is far more extensive (and, again, far less expensive!))
