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

Great switch, needs more smart actions. I installed 25 tp-link switches (combination of dimmer, switch, and 3 way switch) in my home, and one wemo dimmer.Installation: The tp-link dimmers and switches have different attachment hardware (where you screw the switch to attach it to the electric box in the wall). This is annoying because the switches have a thick plastic, while the dimmers are metal but have a piece of plastic that screws onto the top of the front which has to be removed. I personally prefer the dimmer metal hardware. When you install a dimmer next to a switch you have to really fiddle with them to make the two different sizes look the same after the cover is on.What I like:I really like the fact that I can control these from the switch, my phone, or the from google assistant.I also have a in wall wemo dimmer. When I tell google to turn off or on the lights the wemo is significantly slower to respond then the tp-link. For tp-link the lights start to turn on//off in probably .5 sec while the wemo dimmer may take 2-8 seconds to start to respond.Look – the switches and the covers have a bright shiny finish. In most cases I was not able to use the included cover as they are installed in double or triple switch settings, but I like them where I was able to use them.Light compatibility – I’ve installed these with multiple kinds of dimmable LED lights and they have all functioned well.Light range – I replaced my living room light which originally had the wemo dimmer switch and I noticed that the tp-link uses a greater range of the light bulb – i.e. it dims more and 100% brightness is brigher which I like.These also pretty quickly reconnect to wifi after I flip the breaker off or power outage (unlike some of my other smart devices that I have to setup over an over again with every power blip)Enhancements I would really like:Enabling third party triggers. I use IFTTT to integrate multiple smart things together. While these dimmers are compatible with IFTTT – they are only able to be used as THAT devices (in the “if this than that”(ifttt) recipes). So for example, with my wemo switch, if I wanted to turn on/off some other smart device when I clicked the wemo dimmer switch, I could use the wemo click as a THIS action or trigger. But these switches I can only use to respond to other actions, for example, when my door sensor senses that the door opened I can turn on the entry way light.True Instant on/off: The dimmer switches have a setting where you can change how fast they dim on and off when you click the switch. One option is “Instant”. When I have it set to instant, it really just dims on/off fast. I have a non dimmer switch right next to a dimmer switch and when I click both at the same time the dimmer light takes longer, probably a second to turn on, while the non-dimmable switch is instant. This would also probably help with non-dimmable lights. I had non-dimmable lights attached to some of my dimmers and these acted very poorly even when set to instant on. They really buzzed and some even continued to buzz loudly while on.Always on circle light in switch – In places where I have three dimmers together, when I turn one light on, that switches circle on the switch turns off. When I go to turn the light off I instantly think that the switches with the light on are the ones that are on, so I click those two only to find that neither of those lights were on and end up cycling through all three switches.In the kasa app when you select a dimmer or a switch the UI is completely different, it would be nice for them to be more similar.What I don’t like -The click. About 1 out of every 4 times that I click the switch it doesn’t turn on/off. Probably similar to learning to double click on a computer mouse for the first time (for those that can remember that). This could also probably be resolved with the instant on/off I mentioned before. Because it takes about a second even on instant on for the light to come to full power, when you click on and didn’t click hard enough you end up walking past the switch thinking it is just takings its second to dim on, but then you have to walk back to the switch once it actually doesn’t work. Some of my switches also have a bit of a squeaky click, which is also annoying.Note about 3-way switches – Even though my house was built fairly recently, for every set of three way switches, only one of the two wall wirings has the white wire. Luckily these can be paired with an old dumb three way switch and work quite well (i.e. you can use a single 2 pack of 3-way switches for two separate sets of 3-way sockets)Note about wifi – I have mesh wifi in a smallish house so my wifi coverage is good throughout and wifi connectivity has not been an issue for switches.Update Feb 2020:Smart actions – Auto off action. I really like this feature. I have my bathroom vent fans set to auto off after 15 minutes, and I think it has always worked except for one time my WiFi was down. The problem, your only allowed 3 smart actions. I’d love to be able to set more. My son uses the bathroom at the far end of my house and leaves the light on every time. A 15 minute auto off would be perfect. It would also work for closet and hallway lights. TP-link please add more smart actions.

Well thought out switch, but with a few quirks. I recently installed a few WeMo switches so I could test them out, but found they weren’t well designed and I wasn’t particularly happy with them. So I started searching around for a new smart switch (Dimmer), and ran across the Kasa switches. I went ahead and purchased one to test it out.Installation: 5 stars, super easy and much better in my opinion than the WeMo switches. Main wires screw onto to the switch plate, and a couple of wires run off to attach with nuts. WeMo had all wires run off to attach with wire nuts which resulted in large amounts of wire and clutter behind the switches making them much harder to work with.Application: 5 stars, switch was immediately recognized and I had no problems with the application. Unlike the WeMo switches where I had several that had significant problems connecting, and they constantly disconnect. The Kasa switch has had a couple of times where the physical switch didn’t work for a short period of time, but the app has always worked even when the switch didn’t, and then the following day the physical switch would again work. Not sure if that is the result of a bad switch or if something else is going on, but ultimately it is a relatively minor issue as I can always use the application to turn the lights on or off if needed.Wireless: again the setup and connection were easy, and I haven’t had any problems with the switch staying connected to my network and always being accessible via the application. I have loads of problems with this on the WeMo switches.Design: The design is much more well thought out from the wiring to even the physical function of the Switch than the WeMo version. WeMo uses a capacitive touch plate that runs the entire length of the switch. This results in the dimmer level constantly being change, turned off, etc… whenever you turn the light switch on or off because almost the entire switch is capacitive touch. Kasa on the other hand has their dimmer buttons at the very top of the switch so they are never in the way but are very easy to access.Quality: Quality seems to be on par with the WeMo, but the design decisions were clearly well thought out. If feels like someone actually tested the Kasa Switch, while it feels like no one actually ever tested the WeMo switch design of they would have easily seen and addressed several of the blatant issues it has.Note: there is one oddity with the Kasa switch, you may consider it a good or bad thing, but when turning the switch on/off there is a slightly delay (maybe 1-2 seconds). It caught me off guard at first and made me think the switch wasn’t working properly. I’m still on the fence on whether this is a good thing or not, I think I prefer the instant switching action, but I can see why some people might prefer the delay and once you realize it is there it is honestly not a major issue.The Kasa Dimmer switch isn’t perfect, there are a few oddities to it, but it generally functions well, it seems to be far more well thought out than the WeMo switches and is significantly more reliable as a “Smart” switch. If you are trying to decide between Kasa and WeMo, don’t wait, go with the Kasa switches, they are significantly better in almost every way than my WeMo Switches have been. At some point I will be replacing the rest of my switches with the Kasa Switches and removing WeMo entirely from my house as they just have way too many problems with them.

This is another great product from TP-Link. I am using their Smart WiFi Plug HS105 for the block heater with zero issues for three seasons already.HS220 comes with everything you need for installation but you absolutely need to check whether you have Neutral wire provided by your builder. If you don’t adding it is pretty much impossible without reaping walls off. Seriously. I know a guy who sued his builder for failing to provide Neutral wire for lighting.First I would suggest to determine which wire is LINE and which is LOAD in your old light switch. I used multimeter for this purpose – you will always have 120ish volts between Line and Ground when the switch is OFF and nothing between LOAD and ground. Use Electric box as ground when you measure.I did have two LINE wires connected to the old mechanical switch – the second LINE was wired elsewhere and HS220 doesn’t have any additional connectors for the second LINE. This is not an issue whatsoever – using pliers carefully make a half-loop for both LINE wires you have, completely unscrew the bolt (black in my case) on HS220 and remove small metal push plate. Lay both LINE wires the way so they wrap around the screw hole, put metal push plate back and tighten the black screw. Provided black screw is more than sufficient to tighten two 14G overlapped copper wires.Think strategically about all the wires you have in electric box since HS220 requires three times the space than you old switch. Locate all the wires in the box the way to allow enough space for the HS220 when you install it. Carefully push it in place applying pressure to the top and bottom flanges only (with Face Plate off, of course). Do NOT apply any pressure to the buttons while installing the switch.Do not panic if you don’t get lights turning on fast enough with physical button or through the app. This is a well known issue which made people complain since December, 2020. This only happens because of double-tap functionality. Switch is making a delay checking whether single- or double-tap is used. Go to the TP-Link community website and download beta-firmware which works way better. Upgraded firmware from my PC and got ALMOST instantaneous switch response. The key word is almost since it doesn’t look like you can get the same on/off performance from this switch as you do from a simple physical switch.Used the switch with cheap Sylvania 60W 2700K LEDs just for test. Will definitely go for brighter bulbs later.The only thing I REALLY don’t like about this switch is annoying squeaking noise when on/off button is pressed. Makes entire unit feel really cheap. As per TP-link response this is working as intended and caused by the spring.UPDATE #1: Got two more switches and installed them the next day in two more rooms. Everything went smooth except of one switch with a somewhat crooked button which sticks and moves whenever the main button is pressed. There is definitely room for improvement in QC. Both switches are Hardware Version 3 and so far don’t have any squeak.UPDATE #2: If you get dimmer switch wired on the same line as exhaust fan (I realized that one of my switches feeds exhaust fan in the nearby bathroom) you will get light blinking every time when the fan is turned off. Seems like this is the way all dimmer switches work. There is a solution suggested online involving the use of MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) 270V (175VAC/225VDC) 6500A Surge Through Hole 20mm Disc. Need to try it and see if it works.UPDATE #3: Bought MOV through “Jameco Electronics” online. Just Google their web site. Ended up getting MOV-20D271K-ND equivalent. Installed it on the bathroom fan switch and IT WORKED!!! Now I do not have any more flickering caused by line noise or RF noise, generated by the switch connected to the induction motor opening (turning off). When bathroom fan wired on the same line with one of my HS220 is turned off I have zero flickering. Highly recommend this solution to those who are interested in fixing this annoyance.

A Game-Changing Addition to Your Smart Home. 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!

Very customizable. I’m obsessed with these things. I was very impressed with the range of customizations available in the app settings. Things I wouldn’t even have thought about as features but seem like they would be really useful for the right use case. Such as dimming the lights (or turning them on) over a 10 min time frame. Just a very well thought out feature set in the App. I have two other types of switches from Kasa (3-way and non-dimmable single pole) and I have been impressed with all of them, although these dimming ones are my favorite.The only downside is that they are quite large and really fill the space in the electrical box, so if you have a small box or an excessive amount of wires this might not be feasible for that application. I did have to skip over one of the switches I planned to swap out because of this problem.

Amazing Dimmers. It took me the longest time to buy the lights for our theater because all I could get was LED and they don’t dim worth crap. But thanks to these dimmers, the lights now can dim at the level of incandescent lights. I love being able to control them from my phone through the Kasa app and I can also group the lights together with the other lights as a group and dim them both at the same time. Incredible dimmers that are cost effective and smart!

Wow! Electronics that work great. I am recently new to kasa wifi products and am loving it! it all started because I installed white lights and colored lights on my Christmas tree and wanted to control them individually, sometimes just the white, sometimes just the colors, sometimes both so I started looking for a power strip that could do it. i found a 6 way power strip that had a separate push button switch for each of the 6 outlets and as a bonus, with the downloaded software I could control it from anywhere! And I mean anywhere!! Not just within my wifi network!! I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but I bought it. It works great. I love that I can set a timer to turn them on and off. ( No “HEY GOOGLE” or ALEXA” for this kid) the app works great! I have since found uses for all of the spaces on the strip for other lights and and even to turn off the aquarium water filter while I feed so it doesn’t suck in the food. Then I found I could get individual light bulbs that you can adjust colors and dim! I can schedule the lights to turn on or off at a certain time, even sunrise and sunset, or up to an hour before or after any of those. So now my living room lights come on by them selves 20 minutes before sunset and I turn them off my self when after I go to bed so I can see well down the stairs before turning them off. And when I go to bed, my headboard light is on and waiting for me, which when I’m ready to go to sleep, I don’t have to reach up and turn the switch, I just pull up the app and turn it off. Oh! Also, the power strip also tells you power usage from each outlet!!! I installed a switch to control my front outside house lights so now they turn on automagically 30 minutes after sunset and turn off 20 minutes before sunrise and they can still be turned on or off manually. Then plug in outlets, I have two of them now and they do great!! Now just waiting for the ceiling fan and dimmer switches which are now supposed to come out after January!! When those finally become available, I’ll be able to control the lights and my ceiling fans from my phone while I watch a movie or whatever!!Sorry this is so long, I’m so excited about these things. Now I have installed these three dimmable switches in my great room to control 3 groups of lights. Now when we want to watch a movie, we don’t have to turn off the lights and maybe stumble over things to get to the seats, or live with the lights being on. Now I can get to my seat, snacks in hand, then sit down and turn the lights on or off or dim any of the three groups from the app (though you can still turn them off and on from the switch if you were to insist on being a knuckle dragging neanderthal).Now a few tips, these things seem pretty large but if you compare, the depth is really about the same.Now when you set them up, power up one item at a time, set it up, then do the next as each one has its own id number. as others have said, if you were to install all 3 switches and they were all powered at the same time, you’d likely have issues. For the switches, make sure you have a neutral (usually white) wire available.

Brings an old house to the 21st century. 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.

We love Kasa. 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.

Easy smart switches. These switches were easy to install. Just make sure you have a neutral at the box. The were easy to set up and connect with the app and then to link to alexa. They function as expected they look good and adjust the brightness manually or using voice with alexa devices with no lag. They are reliable with alexa while you have internet but if your internet goes out you have to use them the old fashion way. Make sure you have dimmable bulbs.

Simple and effective. I bought this switch because my previous dimmer switch caused my dimmable light to flicker when the brightness was turned down to low. This switch, although older, just works! It doesn’t have Matter compatibility but it still integrates into my Google Home ecosystem fine, and that’s good enough for me.When configured using the Kasa app, double tap, triple tap, and long hold can perform different actions such as double tap to slowly dim over the course of 5 minutes.

Once You Have These, There’s No Going Back. I can’t overstate how much I love the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switches (HS220P3). These things are life changers. When we moved into our new home, one of the first things I did was order a pack of these. Our previous house had them installed, and I knew I couldn’t live without them.It might sound dramatic, but once you experience the convenience of smart dimmer switches—especially paired with Alexa—you’ll never want to go back to regular wall switches. Whether I’m watching a movie and want to dim the lights without moving a muscle, or setting the mood for a cozy dinner with one voice command, these switches make it effortless.The dimming is smooth, setup is straightforward, and the Kasa app gives you total control (even when you’re away from home). It’s the kind of upgrade that quietly elevates everyday life—you don’t realize how much it improves things until you’ve used it.If you’re building a smart home or even just looking to make your evenings a little more magical and convenient, start here. Highly, highly recommend.
