TP-Link is a Quality Name in the Internet of Things Community. I have over 50 smart WiFi devices connected to a Google Mesh home network. The 20+ TP-Link smart devices in the network perform without a technical hitch and are reliable. The Kasa/TP-Link (KP200) WiFi two-outlet, in-wall receptacle is no exception. IF it is installed properly (see below), the KP200 works well and is easy to install (neutral white wire required!!).WARNING FOR AMATEUR ELECTRICIANS (like me):I am NOT an electrician, however, I’ve personally replaced most of the wall switches and receptacles in my home without a single issue. I have also replaced ceiling fans, light fixtures and bathroom exhaust fans — also without any issues. So, I was very confident installing he KP200 would be another cakewalk. However, this time I got in a little over my head installing the KP200, and it required an EXPENSIVE visit by a licensed electrician to make things right again.I learned, here in Arizona (and probably other states too), the safety code requires ANY WALL RECEPTACLE (outlet) within 15 feet of running water (such as kitchen sink or bathroom sink/tub/shower) must be a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This is also sometimes called a “GFI outlet.”My “open concept” kitchen area has eight wall receptacles (all with NO “GFCI” markings or the usual GFI test/reset buttons); therefore, I did not know they were GFCI. About 14 feet from my kitchen sink is a “pantry” — which is far enough away from the kitchen sink not to worry about water splashing. The pantry has two above-counter wall receptacles (which I later learned are UNMARKED GFCI receptacles).So, when I replaced one of the UNMARKED GFCI outlets with the KP200, everything went to hell in a handbasket. The KP200 would not work properly, AND the other seven “kitchen” outlets were inoperable as well. In short (pun intended), the electrician said the KP200 is NOT a GFCI unit, and replacing the GFCI with the KP200 — not only violated the state’s electrical code, but it was also created a substantial safety hazard by breaking the chain of protection provided by the eight outlets connected to the unmarked GFCI circuit. (Once I went to the outside electrical panel, it was visually obvious some of the breakers were GFCI, but inside the home, nothing indicates their GFCI status).Although the electrician has an excellent reputation for quality work, he is “VERY OLD SCHOOL.” As such, there are TWO THINGS he absolutely HATES:(1) ALL home automation smart devices (don’t even mention the word – “Alexa” to him);(2) ANY “weekend-warrior” homeowner who is not a licensed electrician and does his own electrical work.That said, I not only received a very stern verbal admonishment regarding electrical safety, I also received an invoice for $150. (I think some of the $150 was punitive.)Expensive lesson learn. So, BEFORE you swap-out your old electrical outlet for a TP-LINK KP200, be CERTAIN it is NOT an UNMARKED CFCI receptacle.By the way, the next day, I installed the KP200 in a bedroom, and it works as expected! It is an excellent and reliable name-brand product!ONE LAST CAVEAT: I only purchase smart devices made by large, well-established technology companies, such as TP-Link. Why? Most “Internet of Things” (IOT) smart devices COMMUNICATE to the world outside your home in order to function. That means IOT devices are potentially the WEAKEST LINK in your home Internet/network security.In other words, you need to purchase IOT devices from companies that have the financial resources and technical expertise to update BOTH the firmware and software of their products — as the product ages. This updating helps defend your home network against hackers who exploit “cheap,” no-name IOT device to gain access to the rest of your home network, computers, smartphones, tablets, and etc.I hope this helps.
For parental screen time control. The media could not be loaded. My kid has found just about every workaround to steal screen time. This Kasa fit perfectly into the new locking outdoor outlet cover. This prevents him from removing the plug and just plugging in elsewhere.INSTALL: unusual situationMy outlet was set for a 3way, meaning it’s an outlet that turns off and on with a wall switch. I capped the red (connects to switch) and then clamped both white under the neutral screw and both black to the live screw, ground under ground screw. So far this works and the switch is obsolete.INSTALL: normalOther than that, install was easy. I am a woman and quite handy, this isn’t my first electrical project but it’s easy if your outlet has the correct wires and you can follow the instructions. You have to power off the outlet, which in my case is the same power as the wifi, so I had to plug my wifi into another live outlet.APP:So far the app works well. Love the scheduling features.App Kid proofing: I have an iPhone, so I used shortcuts to add a new shortcut to the Kasa app and named it “spectrum outlet”, changed the icon, then hid my real kasa app in a folder. I changed my profile pic to spectrum and my username to spectrum. I’ve installed it while my teen was at school. I will be telling him it’s a new feature from spectrum. Hoping to avoid him figuring out what is controlling his outlet, or he might be able to get Alexa to connect and bypass the kasa app timers/controls entirely. There are no labels on the outlet for him to identify it. Fingers crossed.If your kid uses an Ethernet cable to game online, wifi parental controls wont work. Especially if they use a VPN app and it shows up as a new device with each connection. You can get an Ethernet kill switch, but I have yet to find one with a timer, or remote capability. This means my kid will just flip the switch and feign innocence. It also makes my job of remembering when and how and how long, so much harder. Did my husband allow this? Did I? Working opposite schedules allows our kid lots of opportunity to confuse and deny.Now with the push of a button on my phone, I can power his PC outlet on or off. I can also have multiple schedules, multiple timeframes in a day, different than the weekend, breaks in between. Total control.I wish it didn’t have to be this way. My other two kids are not like this. This guy is leveling up my parenting skills and I need a nap.UPDATE:A year and a half later and this system still works like a charm. I finally won.

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!
Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch HS220. I have dozens of TP-Link KASA products installed in my home, including a dozen smart plugs (majority only get seasonal use), nine on/off switches, one 3 way dimmer, and five of these dimmer switches.They are well made, an unbeatable value when on sale, and straightforward to install (note that all TP-Link’s Kasa switches require a neutral wire – depending on when your house was built and how the switch boxes were wired, you may or may not have a neutral available in your wall switch boxes).These connect to the 2.4Ghz band of WiFi – note that these switches can end up out of range of your WiFi if you have your access point or router poorly positioned in your house and/or you have a substandard access point or router – I have no connectivity issues with an access point located on the ceiling of my first floor in the center of my 2 story home – be prepared to up your WiFi coverage if you’re serious about having a smart home – I have a separate IoT VLAN defined on my router and provisioned to the 2.4 GHz band of my multiband AP to keep my IoT devices off of my home network. A single AP covers my 2700 SF house, for both the 2.4 GHz band IoT devices, and the 5 Ghz band human facing devices on my home network.These switches are large, as are most smart switches – I’ve found they install easily in the modern plastic switch boxes in my renovated kitchen and family room addition, but can be a tight fit in the original steel switch boxes in the remainder of my 1963 vintage home – I have taken to replacing the original steel boxes with new “old work” plastic boxes, and will spec the extra deep “old work” boxes if the stud cavity allows for it – this solves the space issue, and again if serious about a smart home are some of the things you need to do to be on board.These switches are “Decora” style and are activated by pushing the bottom of the plastic paddle for both on and off functions – while the ergonomics are a bit different than a standard “dumb” Decora switch, I like them, and honestly I use voice or routines to control the switches to the point where the physical switch interface is a non-issue.In multi-gang box situations, I have taken to replacing any “dumb” toggle switches with corresponding “dumb” Decora paddle switches for those switches I don’t need smart functionality in, in order to keep the look consistent. I have had no issues with the “yoke” depth of these TP-Link Kasa switches in terms of being able to install standard wallplates – I have replaced my old steel “Mulberry” plates with screwless plastic “Claro” branded Lutron wall plates for a nice clean consistent modern look – see photo. Steel plates are a no-no BTW with smart switches – they obstruct radio signals no matter what tech you are using – WiFi, Zigbee, Lutron ClearConnect etc.I also use Wago lever style wire nuts for the end point connections for the wire leads coming off of these Kasa switches – they save some space and can also save some wear and tear on the house wiring rather than have to untwist pretwisted and wire nutted connections to make changes and/or additions in the future.I have dozens of Alexa routines set up using these switches – the switches can be used to initiate an integration, unlike my Lutron Caseta switches, which can only be acted on by a routine, they themselves can’t initiate a routine. These also integrate with Home Assistant.These have been dead reliable for me in terms of connectivity and responsiveness. Most of the negative reviews are unwarranted IMO.
I had problems but only because our original electrical contractors were idiots. About the only problem I had with this was that it comes attached to a wall plate in a manner that will make you *certain* you’re going to break it trying to get it off there, but it does come right off once you get over that worry and pry hard.I installed it with an HS200 right next to it, using a Leviton double-decor plate. Everything fits fine. Be warned that if the electrical contractors who did your wiring ignored codes, you could be in for some exciting fun involving several wire nuts and wego connectors, but that’s not something TP-Link bears responsibility for. I managed to get mine into the panel _including_ all the extra wire nuts, despite the fact that these things take up a bit more space than usual inside the work box. The little row of LEDs across the top representing the current dimmer setting is a nice touch. When the lights are on it’s bright enough to see where it’s at without it acting as an unwanted nightlight.
I’m Totally Switched on this Dimmer. Get ready to brighten your life and dim those lights with the Kasa HS220 smart switch! No longer will you have to get off the couch to turn lights on like a barbarian – now you can control your lighting with your phone and automate your home like the modern tech lord you are.I’m absolutely buzzing about how easy this switch was to install and connect to my WiFi. The step-by-step instructions were clear as a fancy pint of beer. I might not know a neutral wire from a load wire, but hooking this switch up was smoother than Barry White’s voice. And the Kasa app lets me dim and control my lights from anywhere – I can set the mood whether I’m on the couch or on the can!
Su ap funciona mejor que la mayoria y es completamente compatible con alexa.esta ap si me gusta, no estan lenta y erratica como Tuya.
Vamos a empezar diciendo lo que no viene en la publicación, el contacto aguanta hasta 15A de salida por contacto, y menciono esto para que consideres antes de comprarlo.Respecto a la instalación, es muy sencilla, como instalar cualquier otro contacto, lo único que no me gustó y por eso comparto fotos, es que el dispositivo es muy grande que no logró entrar en su totalidad en la caja, antes tenía otro contacto inteligente de steren el cual entro sin problemas, pero este no, no se si mi caja (chalupa) sea chiquita o vieja, pero no cupo, por lo que si tienes hijo pequeños puede ser muy peligroso que quede tan afuera.La configuración es muy sencilla, el dispositivo se conecta a tu modem/router, la aplicación es intuitiva, puedes revisar información como tiempo de endendido, aunque me gustaría que tuviera estuviera datos como consumos. Se puede conectar a Alexa, Google y Smart Things de Samsung.Si lo recomiendo, pero considera que es posible no quede muy bien instalada.
Es buen producto pero es muy grande para las cajas que se usan comúnmente en México. Si cabe, pero si hay mangueras sobresalidas o muchos cables ya no.
These outlets just work and provide a permanent solution to smart forever.
Versatile and Reliable. I have these outdoor under my eaves to control an external security horn and Christmas lights. One of them controls a light. I use Alexa routines to turn on a bright light when a motion is detected through my Ring camera. I don’t have to deal with plugs which are bulky. One of them has been installed for over a year with no issues.Integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant enables hands-free control, making it convenient when I have my phone on me and need to test them out while I’m putting up the decorations. I have over 20 Kasa equipment and it’s my go-to ecosystem! Thinking about putting more around the house and eliminating the smart plugs.
Hasta ahora funciona como debe sin problema ni falta de oneccion, tengo pocos dias pero sin duda parece funcionar bien, la calidad es buena
Easy to install, not so much to setup, but it works well. I just swapped it with the existing outlet using same wiring scheme, then followed up with ap installation and setup.App configuration was not super straightforward, since these plugs come up under two different brands names (TP-link or Kasa), but after a bit of fiddling I was able to get it recognized by Alexa and get it to work.Anyway, now it works as it should and for about $10 you cannot as more: 1 outlet with 2 smart plugs that can be voice or remote controlled it is awesome.Also, the outlet has a screwless plate which makes for a good clean look instead of looking at those 2 screws Leviton eyesores that electricians and contractors install in 90% of homes in the US.When I have the time i will replace all the outlets with these ones.
