Kasa Apple HomeKit Smart Dimmer Switch KS220P3, Single Pole, Neutral Wire Required,2.4GHz Wi-Fi Light Works with Siri, Alexa and Google Home,UL Certified, No Hub Required,White, 3 Count (Pack of 1)

Good price and good quality. Easy to install and set up with Homekit. Has not glitched at all. You don't need to pay the exorbitant price for those Lutron or Leviton dimmers. I have both brands and now switched over to these completely.

East ti install. The line screw is for the black power wire. The load screw is what is going to turn on/use power such as a light fixture. This uses a common (white) wire but some houses have different wiring. Use an electrician if you do not feel comfortable installing this by yourself. A couple of points: The switch has two choices in the Kasa app. One is Matter, one is not. However, read the instructions. It says to use an entirely different choice so if you do not use what the instructions say, you can't install it. There is a small postage sized code to scan to install the switch in Homekit if that is what you want-but you cannot simply add the device as an accessory then scan the code. That won't work. Some say your phone must be on the same 2.4 ghz network but that is not true either. How you add the device to homekit is to install the device first in the Kasa app...then after a successful install, check the device's settings in Kasa app and choose "add to homekit" and THEN scan the barcode/stamp. It will install into Homekit in about 30 seconds. You can use the exact same thing of the device in Kasa as in Homekit. Fior exampe, Bob's Fan <--can be used in the Kasa app and the Homekit app. Once installed in Homekit, you can slide up and down on the icon to dim or increase lighting. Of course your light/lamp/whatever has to be dimmable. OR use the KASA app. Or use Alexa or Google Home to dim or increase lighting or whatever it is you have attached to this dimmer switch. No you do not have to be on the 2.4 ghz network to install or operate. Yes you can only install any Kasa switch/plug/etc. only on a 2.4 ghz network but your phone can be on a 5.4 ghz network in your home. I have a 2.4 netowrk for Kasa and appliances, and for all else it goes onto the 5.4 ghz network.

I’ve been around the block when it comes to smart switches. My main house is all Lutron caseta, other house is Meross from Amazon, and I ordered these for my cabin in the mountains. Compared to the Meross, the design of this one is far superior. The Meross works great (as do all of the other ones) but I hate how it feels so cheap with 2 small buttons for the simmer. Plus I don’t like that the Meross is matte white, not gloss like the wall plates I use. My favorite part of the design on this one is the small light on the switch when it’s off. It makes it easier to find the switch when the lights are off and you just walk into the house. Compared to the Lutron this thing still wins. I mean, the Lutron is the best smart switch I own but when you can get 4 of these for the price of one Lutron, I don’t think I’ll ever be getting a Lutron again. The only parts that the Lutron still wins at is how thin it is (makes it much easier to fit into your electric box). Putting 2 of these in a 2 gang box is a pain because they’re huge (like the Meross) but Lutron’s are just like a regular light switch. The other part where the Lutron trumps all of them is the remote control. I love having the remote control on the stand that it comes with by the tv remote, so you don’t need to bust out the phone. So overall, this one is the winner in light switches. Don’t get me wrong is you can afford Lutron all around, I’d still do that but for this price range, nothing even comes close.

I recently added recessed LED lights in my room and was looking for a dimmer switch (not necessarily looking for a smart one at the time), so I went to Lowe's and was shocked that the cheapest most basic dimmer switch they had was freaking $30, and their smart switches push anywhere from $80+ !! Nope! Not gonna work for me chief. So then the good ole' Amazon search came in and I found this TPLink Kasa dimmer for only $20 AND ITS A SMART DIMMER?? Say no more, I bought it. Ease of installation is extremely straight forward (even for those who are afraid of DIY, the directions are extremely easy to follow and have photos and videos online if needed), I got this bad boy plugged in and working within 5 minutes, synced up to their smart app on my iPhone and linked to the Home(homekit) app. I tell ya what, I didn't think I would like having a smart switch, but it's awesome to be able to set a schedule for a light. Like for my situation, I had it set to SLOWLY fade INTO light at 5:00AM when I get ready for work. It's a huge relief slowly waking up to light rather than just flick on the light and BOOM BRIGHTNESS BLINDNESS. It's also pretty neat when I'm across the room away from the switch I can talk to my iPhone and say "Hey siri, dim my lights by 30%" and it happens immediately without delay. I freaking love this thing and absolutely recommend for others to try it! Now the ONE problem that I ran into in the two weeks that I've had this switch is, at ONE point in time the switch "lagged out" or disconnected itself from my phone and was unresponsive. I removed the faceplate from the switch and for whatever reason it immediately linked to my phone and was working perfectly again. All in all, I give this bad boy a 9/10 as it's extremely budget friendly, especially when looking for a smart switch that has this amount of features!

I initially passed over these lights because I'm not an Apple product user and have no intention of using Apple Home Kit. I had wired another brand of smart switches throughout my entire house that were maybe 15% cheaper but I could also find them at Home Depot. The switches I installed were not compatible with my local network and home automation software. They also dropped network connection everyday, the app was cheap and barely worked, and the dimming stuttered. So I bought these Kasa switches and other 3-Way switches, and just finished installing all of them. It is anmight and day difference. Kasa app is extremely easy to use, the options for customization are amazing, the operation of the dimmer is so smooth it's easy on the eyes. Better yet, they are all working with a third party home automation program I was hoping to use. If you are in the market and hoping to add Kasa products to your home just buy these. Save yourself the hassle of buying, installing, uninstalling, and returning cheaper alternatives.

Fantastic product. Integration with Alexa is seamless. Only issue is installing multiples in shallow boxes. They can crowd the box and wires very quickly.

Got this single one and a 3 pack to install 4 dimmer switches. 3 of them worked totally fine and hooked up to wifi no problem. This one didn't. Tried tons of things, reseting it, putting error internet temporarily on only 2.4 gHz, switching it with another switch would never connect to the internet only connected to my blue tooth and setup always failed. The switch still worked but not the smart capabilities. I had registered with manufacturer and tried to do their warranty. They made me jump through lots of hoops to get them to send me a replacement device, but then wanted me to pay money first to send them the defective one. I no longer had the old switch this was on which would mean I would have to go buy a switch to use temporarily until I got a new smart switch. I opted to do the return through Amazon which is free drop off at locations after I ordered and received a replacement. Customer service with manufacturer was not very responsive and seemed to be trying to over complicate the troubleshooting directions in hopes you wouldn't follow one step and they could get out of replacing. Was disappointed that they wanted me to pay for having to send them back their defective product.

Updated - 3/1/23 - My issue was escalated with TP-Link (the parent company for Kasa, I believe) and the technical support team was amazing. Ultimately, it turned out to be a new issue with these newer switches. The team built a firmware update the next day and checked in with me via phone and email over the weekend to make sure it resolved my issue. The customer-focused support was incredible. They also said that they’ve gone back and coached the customer support team on how this case evolved to hopefully prevent recurrences in the future. With the new firmware update, my switches are 100% compatible with Apple HomeKit and I’m very happy. Original 3-star review: Beware — Switches work fine with Kasa app, but flicker on/off when turned on with HomeKit at 100% brightness. 95% and lower work fine with HomeKit. I have 3 of these switches controlling different lights in 3 different rooms, all with the same “feature”. I called Apple and they said to call Kasa. I called Kasa and they told me to contact Apple. What to do?
