Stars – Simple, Affordable, and Reliable Smart Switch

I’ve installed multiple Kasa HS200 smart switches throughout my home, and they’ve quickly become one of my favorite smart home upgrades.🧠 Works with Alexa and Google Assistant — No Hub NeededWhat I love most is the simplicity—this switch connects directly to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi without needing a hub (highlighted in the title and comparison chart on page 4). Once installed, it syncs seamlessly with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice commands like “turn off the kitchen lights.”🔧 Straightforward Installation (If You Have a Neutral Wire)The product clearly states it requires a neutral wire (see "About this item" on page 1 and install guide on page 3), and that’s the only catch. Once you’ve got that, setup takes about 15–30 minutes with just basic tools. The Kasa app walks you through each step.📱 Reliable App Control and Smart FeaturesThe Kasa app gives me full control over lighting from anywhere. Features like “Away Mode,” grouping, and scheduled routines (shown clearly in visuals on page 3) add a lot of convenience and security.✅ Pros:No hub required, works over 2.4GHz Wi-FiAlexa/Google Assistant compatibilityIntuitive app with scene, timer, and away mode featuresResponsive and consistent operation❌ Cons:Requires a neutral wireSlight learning curve if you’ve never installed a switch beforeOverall:This is a fantastic entry-level smart switch. It's dependable, integrates well with other Kasa devices, and is priced affordably. Highly recommended for anyone modernizing their home’s lighting without the hassle of a hub.

An Easy way to control multiple devices on a single circuit.

I made the jump to a "Smart Home" a little over a month ago after Alexa joined our family. After talking to some friends, doing some research and assesing my needs I settled on TP-Link because of the variety of Smart products they offered, no requirements for a Hub, the lower cost and the ability to control everything from one simple app on my Smart phone and Amazon"s Alexa.I have not been disappointed. After a very short learning curve, I surprisingly found the installation and set-up of all the TP-Link Smart devices extremely easy and intuitive. I have installed several different Smart devices including three different bulbs (LB-100, 120 & 130) depending on the area, as well as, Smart Switches (HB-200) and Smart Plugs. All of it has installed, programed and worked with few problems.The only criticism I have is the Kasa App. I have found it to be a bit bugy at times, but since I use it primarily for programming and setting up new devices and scenes, rather than operationally, it has not been an issue since Alexa handels most of that work. So far, in the six weeks my Smart Home has been in operation I have only had one problem where Alexa and the Kasa app lost communication with most of (but not all) of my TP-Link devices. But after a bit of head scratching I was able to restore communication.So here's a tip to remember: I first tried rebooting the devices by cycling the power breaker, but that didn't work. Probably due to multiple devices signaling simultaneously and overloading Kasa. But, powering each device down for a few seconds then back up, and testing it before moving on ro the next one worked without a problem.I also recommend using a different control application. I only have experience with Amazon Alexa, but it also interfaces with Google Home among others. I have found that controlling scenes from Kasa not to be reluable for some reason, while issuing the scene commands to Alexa works 90% of the time, with repeating the command becoming necessary about 10% of the time. But even with an occasional repeated command being necessary, TP-Link devices respond extremely well through Alexa's control. Plus Alexa is able to easily "group" multiple devices so you can control areas with a single command, or program macro activities that Alexa can perform with a single command. Capabilities Kasa does not have.This is another deficiency of the Kasa app. Without the ability to group devices or run macro routines, it relies on programmed scenes which are very limiting for operational control. So another controlling app like Alexa or Home is essential to the TP-Link Smart Home system.For me, because I have Alexa for operational control, both at home and away, these short comings in the Kasa app are non-issues. But if I didnt have this capability I think I would look to a different Hub controlled platform for my Smart Home lighting and device control.HS-200 Smart Switch:I am a retired electrician, so I found the installation easy. Most DIY homeowners with a basic knowledge of electricity and components should also have few problems with the installation.I found this Smart Switch easy to control and the installation is about the same as replacing a standard light switch. But, a big drawback is not have a dimming capability. To me this should be a no-brainer and i cant understand why this featire is lacking. Because that would makevthis a 5 star product.So before you procede there are a couple of precautions that should be noted.First, you must three wires plus the ground (usually bare or green), and one must be the neutral (usually white) third wire, or the switch simply will not work. This can be an issue in some older homes (and even in some newer ones too).The neutral wire is the "common" wire that runs throughout the house and is common to all circuits. It completes the loop in the circuit from the electrical box to the receptacle. The "hot" (or "line") wire (usually black) carries the electrical load for that circuit only (usually 15-20 amps max). And finally, the "load" wire (usually black, red, or it could even be white) completes the hot side of the circuit between the switch and the receptacle. To save time and money some electricians when wiring homes "old school" would complete the light circuit by running the neutral to the light receptacle and then run a 2 conductor (plus ground) to the switch. So even though you may have a white and black wire at the switch, the white wire is not a neutral, but the load wire that that completes the hot circuit when the switch is turned on (closed). So if you don't have 3 wires, one of them being the white neutral, you are out of luck using a Smart Switch. You can control the light however, by using Smart bulbs and then grouping them in the controling app (like Alexa).Another caution is wire management. Standard light switches don't take up much room, so the original installing electrician had lots of room in the box to stuff extra wire. This is a luxury you don't have since the Smart Switch is much deeper and takes up most of the box. The new switch also uses leads that are wire nutted to the circuit wires and not terminated on the switch itself. Because of this, it may be necessay to shorten the wires to make room in the box for the extra electronics and wire nuts.My advice is to open your intended switch boxes to survey your electrical wiring BEFORE you order the switches, so there are no surprises when it comes time to install.One last safety precaution. Be sure to turn off the circuit at the electrical panel (breaker box). Also don't assume that all switches in a multi-switch box are on the same circuit. It is often the case that multiple circuits are in the box. This is especially true when a switch is controling a plug. So check all wires in the box with a meter to insure nothing is hot.Finally, when wire nutting multiple wires it is VERY EASY to leave a wire loose. This can be very dangerous, as loose wires can work themselves free and cause arking and sparking that can damage connected equipment, and worse, start a fire. This is a common cause of electrical fires, and you might not know there is a problem until it's too late. So to ensure all wire nut connections are tight and secure, tug on each wire at the nut with needle nose pliers. If you can't pull it loose it should be good to go. Also make sure there are no bare wires poking out of the nuts. The switches use stranded wire so it's easy to have some stray strands loose outside the nut.So that's about it. The install is pretty easy most of the time, but if you don't think you're experienced enough to do the job safely, put this phase of the job in the hands of a professional. It should be an easy job for any professional electrician, and should not be terribly expensive. Consider it cheep insurance!

Versatile Smart Switch that Fixed my Problem

Although I own a few smart Kasa devices (smart plugs and light bulbs), this is the first smart switch I have purchased and installed. I specifically purchased this smart switch to control a Kasa smart plug and it worked perfectly for this project. The installation process was simple, although I have previous experience with electrical work (replacing switches and outlets) and the Kasa app/environment. Once wired, I set it up very quickly using the Kasa app, connecting it to my Wi-Fi, and incorporating it in the app. I was then able to setup a Smart Action so that whenever the switch is turned on/off, the corresponding Kasa smart plug is turned on/off. It worked perfectly from the first try!This product is very well made, powerful, and versatile – a great value in the home automation space. I am very happy with it since it fixed my problem quickly and inexpensively.

Easy set up, reliable (stays connected), KASA app adds useful advanced features.

I have tried almost all brands of wireless switches. I like KASA the best. Not only because they set up and stay connected, but because their app has features I don't find in other applications.For instance, I have an outside light that I want on except if someone explicitly turns it off. I am able to use the KASA applicaiton such that if it is turned off, it turns itself back on in one hour. Pretty cool. I also use functinality like thisin my bathrooms where if a light is turned on, the fan automatically turns on and then automatically turns off in 20 minutes because NO ONE remembers to turn off the fan.....
