Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220P3, Single Pole, Needs Neutral Wire, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Light Switch Works with Alexa and Google Home, UL Certified,, No Hub Required, 3-Pack

Im a big fan of Kasa devices, all of them have been so easy to install, setup, and use, these are no different!Installed on a few lights, those work great, and even wanted to try controlling a celling fan. I know this technically isnt made for a fan I figured in theory it could work. While it did work and controlled the speed (pull the cord to high setting first) the fan motor made strange electronic noises that I didint like. I know Kasa has a fan/light in one controller but I wanted to keep two individual switches. With all that said yes technically it can control a celling fan, the sounds coming from the motor suggest it could cause issues. For now i will only use the switch for on/off on my fan.

Moved into an older house that had some silly light situations. There are no lights in the ceiling, and everything has to be controlled by lamps. Cool, except it is from one specific outlet in each room. Naturally, they were the ones that made zero sense and annoying.So, instead of rewiring the whole stuff, I went the Kasa route to pair the smart switches and mini smart plugs/power strips from where I wanted. Just created some if/then scenarios to operate the switches and we were in business.Everything works great, has really good build quality, simple; really just great products.I even got a few of the outdoor ones to control my holiday lights this year. Highly recommend Kasa products.

Interesting installation: Two of the wires (ground, neutral) are fastened to existing wires in the switch box with wire nuts. But line and load wires need to be attached to the switch with screw terminals..Since my old switch had the wires attached to the switch with push-wire installation, I had to remove the wires from the old switch, then bend the wires into a little “C” shape to install them onto the TP Link’s screw terminals, then fasten those down. This made the installation a bit more tedious, but it does save a bit of room in the switch box (as the wire nuts can be bulky and take up a bit of room).After some effort was able to fit the switch into the switch box, but it was quite a tight fit. This is a thick switch. Screwed it in (it’s in a 2-gang switch box with another decora/decorator-type switch that controls the bathroom fan) and tried to put on the Legrand 2-gang decorator switch plate, but the bottom of the plate would not cover the TP Links switch fully. There was a little annoying gap at the bottom, even with the switch plate fully fastened.I bought another 2-gang switch plate (by Leviton) and this was a midway switch which was a bit deeper.. thankfully this fit perfectly! So keep that in mind.. if you don’t use the included switch plate cover by TP Link, you’ll need a deeper, thicker switch plate cover to accommodate this thick switch. Leviton’s midway plate worked well for this.Now that the switch is installed it works great. Installed via the TP Link Kasa app, connected to Alexa and added to Home Assistant. The dimmer functionality works well and the switch looks nice. I am not sure how I like the switch feel when using the switch manually, though. It feels a little odd (not like a “real” click from a mechanical switch). Most of the time I use sensors and timers to turn the switch on/off, so not a big deal, but the physical switch itself doesn’t feel 100% like a real manual/mechanical switch.Overall I like it. It’s a great value for the price (less than $20) and it is UL listed, which was an important requirement for me.

Never any issues with installation, it sets up quickly and without issue on the Alexa app, and it works with any light! Kasa is the best in terms of quality and price.

Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary person with a boring old light switch. But then, I discovered the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220 and my life changed forever. This switch is truly a game-changer and I can confidently give it a 5 out of 5-star rating.First off, let's talk about the installation process. I was a bit nervous about this at first, as I'm not exactly a handy person. But much to my surprise, the installation was a breeze. All you need is a neutral wire, which my house had, and you're good to go. No hub required, no complicated wiring diagrams, just a simple and straightforward process.Once I got the switch installed, it was time to put it to the test. And let me tell you, this thing is incredible. The Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220 allows you to control your lights with your voice, through Alexa or Google Home, or through the Kasa app on your phone. It's so easy to use and the dimming feature is truly a game-changer.But the real standout feature for me is the scheduling option. You can set your lights to turn on and off at certain times, which is incredibly useful for when you're away from home. It gives you peace of mind knowing that your home appears occupied, even when you're not there. Plus, it's just fun to mess with your friends by having your lights turn on and off at random times.I have to say, the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220 has truly revolutionized the way I use my lights at home. I love that I can control the brightness and color temperature of my lights with just a few taps on my phone, or by asking Alexa to do it for me. It's also really handy when I'm settling in to watch a movie or read a book, as I can dim the lights to the perfect level of brightness without even getting up from my seat.But what really sets this switch apart is the fact that it's so easy to use. Even my technologically challenged grandparents were able to figure out how to use it with no problem. And if they can do it, anyone can! The app is really intuitive and user-friendly, and the instructions that come with the switch are clear and easy to follow.Another great thing about the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220 is that it's incredibly reliable. I've never had any issues with it disconnecting from my Wi-Fi or failing to respond to voice commands. And on the rare occasion when I did have a question or problem, the customer service team at Kasa was quick to respond and really helpful.One of my favorite features of the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220 is the ability to create scenes. With scenes, you can set up multiple switches to control different lights at the same time. For example, I have a scene called "Movie Night" where I dim the lights in the living room, turn off the overhead lights, and turn on my table lamps to create the perfect atmosphere for watching a movie. It's so convenient to be able to control multiple lights with just one command!I also appreciate the safety features of this switch. It's UL certified, which means it meets rigorous safety standards, and it has a built-in safety shut-off feature that prevents the switch from overheating. This gives me peace of mind knowing that I don't have to worry about any safety issues.Finally, I have to mention how great the Kasa app is. It's so easy to use and has a ton of features that allow you to customize your smart home experience. You can set schedules, create scenes, and even monitor your energy usage to see how much money you're saving on your electricity bill.Overall, I would highly recommend the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220 to anyone looking to upgrade their home. It's easy to install, fun to use, and adds a touch of convenience to your daily life. Plus, it's just plain cool to be able to control your lights with your voice. So go ahead and buy it, you won't regret it!
