Kasa Apple HomeKit Smart Light Switch KS200, Single Pole, Neutral Wire Required, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Light Switch Works with Siri, Alexa and Google Home, UL Certified, No Hub Required, White

I installed the Kasa Apple HomeKit Smart Light Switch KS200P3 at my shop, and it has been an excellent upgrade. The fast response time is impressive—whether I use Alexa or the Kasa app, the lights turn on and off almost instantly. Now, after locking up, I no longer have to walk all the way up front to shut the lights off—I can do it remotely from my Samsung Galaxy or with voice commands through my Sonos Alexa-enabled speakers. Also, a neat feature is the switches have a little glowing circle when they are off so you can easily see them in the dark. I can also program them via Alexa skill or the Kasa app to turn on and off at a certain time. As an IT professional, the app set up is really nice and well thought out. My mother could set it up once wired in, it's that simple.Pros:✔ Fast and Reliable Response – No noticeable delay when controlling through the app or Alexa.✔ Alexa Compatible – Works flawlessly with my Sonos Alexa-enabled speakers.✔ No Hub Required – Connects directly to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.✔ Well-Built and UL Certified – Feels solid, and I trust the safety rating.✔ 3-Pack Value – Great price for three switches.FYI:⚠ Stranded Wire Leads – Instead of screw terminals like traditional switches, these use pre-attached stranded wires that must be wire-nutted to your solid house wiring. This adds a bit of bulk in the electrical box, especially in tight spaces.⚠ Neutral Wire Required – If you don’t have a neutral wire, these won’t work. Make sure to check your wiring before purchasing.Overall, these switches work flawlessly and are a great addition to my smart shop setup. The only minor downside is the wiring method, but most smart switches are like that and once installed, they function perfectly. If you’re looking for fast, responsive, and reliable smart switches, these are an excellent choice.

I use these switchen on my porch lights outside. Works great! Inside of the app you can set a timer or set them to go on at sunset and off at sunrise. Besides the timer I can also access them remotely and turn them on and off since they are connected over WiFi. They are also compatible with all the smart home devices but have not yet tried that.Installation was super easy and easy to part to your phone. They connected instantly when trying to add them

Finally, a Kasa switch that works natively with HomeKit! Setup was effortless—just scan the HomeKit code in the Apple Home app, and it connected instantly. No extra hubs needed. Super reliable with Siri voice control and automations. The Kasa app is still great for advanced settings, but I love that it syncs perfectly with HomeKit.

At first was frustrated during install, but figured it out. Instructions not totally accurate, we got working after going through Alexa app. Once the first one was done the 2nd and 3rd was super simple. I could do without the light on the switch, produces a lot of light at night so in bedroom it was keeping us up. Had to cover with black tape. Seems light on indicates switch one, ours was a ceiling fan so light was always on. Added to a second fan and just needed to name it different, works fine.

A couple of existing single pole smart switches from another brand and the associated app were becoming a bit flaky. The switches would drop off the app, then come back, and the app would not start, then start. The integration into Apple HomeKit was also poor.The TP Link Kasa switches installed and linked up to the Kasa App flawlessly first time. Integration into my Apple HomeKit and Google Home apps/infrastructure was easy. Voice and app control via Kasa, Apple Home, Google Home all works great. Easy to set up timers. Also purchased a number of Kasa Smart Plugs, and outdoor plugs, for other lighting control indoors and outdoors.Highly recommend the TP Link Kasa products if you are looking to replace any existing hardware or if you are just getting started with home automation.

I had originally been installing Leviton Decora smart switches in my house but the pricing on those has skyrocketed and I found these when looking for a more affordable alternative. I'm glad I did as I absolutely love them and they have been more reliable than my existing Leviton devices which has me wanting to rip and replace all of those as well. Installation is simple though your home does need to be wired with a neutral (mine is). Setup is very straight forward and integration with both Google Home and my local Home Assistant instance was a breeze once the devices were online. If I had to pick anything to be critical of, the paddle of the switch is only activated on the bottom, so unlike the Leviton switches where you push the top of the paddle to turn the switch on and the bottom for off, these you only push the bottom. In reality, I bought smart switches to not have to touch the paddle, and all the difference does for me is increase my desire to remove the Leviton curse from my home to have consistent actuation throughout.If you are looking for a great quality switch for a reasonable price, you found it with these. Also, you are not limited to using the faceplates shown. I removed those as almost all of the switches I installed went into double gang bosses where I used the original double gang plates. They look great!

Installed three switches to control lighting when I am on vacation. Installation was good, and I had only a hiccup or two setting up the controls via the Kasa app. Two of the switches did not complete the internet connection on the first try, but everything went fine after I pressed the reset button and did the connection process the second time. The app seems good, and everything works exactly as expected.
