Pretty good. Installed this a few days ago, so far so good. No issues with the installation, replaced a ‘regular’ kasa smart light switch. This works as expected, though a couple of things that i wish were better:The angle of motion sensing is not as wide as i had hoped – i was thinking it would be closer to 180, but it’s quite a bit narrower. When i’m to the side of the switch or even a bit closer to the middle, it doesn’t see me. Because of that, i’ve had to set it to turn off after a longer amount of time so it doesn’t turn off while i’m in the room but out of its angle (and hope that i’ll move into range before that time is up – it’s my kitchen, so chances are good).Second slight disappointment is that the actual manual switch/button to turn it on or off feels a little kludgy – only the very bottom of the switch toggles, even though the entire lower portion of the switch is a single piece. The very middle of the switch does not depress at all. It’s not very intuitive, and the click action is a bit ‘mushy’ and inconsistent, not a solid satisfying click like the regular kasa rocker or a regular non-smart switch.All in all though, it does what i need it to do well enough so far – saves me a bit of electricity when i forget to turn it off, turns on automatically when i’m walking towards it. Has relatively good flexibility options such as making it manual only, or setting it to motion sense only during certain times. Fit and finish is on par with the kasa switches i have (which is to say pretty good). One thing to note was that it had a harder time connecting to my network than all the other kasa switches i’ve setup – had to restart the switch a couple times to finally connect to it and then be able to join my network, hopefully just a fluke.
Pretty awesome, but Kasa needs to redesign for easier and more “proper” device installation. I picked Kasa as my go-to for smart plugs, switches, etc quite a few years ago. The big seller for me was not needing an extra hub, they connect directly to wifi. They all work great, though with the newest app version (Android 13, Pixel 6 pro) the app seems slower to load and grab the status of all the devices. Normally we just yell at Google to turn things on and off, so it’s not too big of a deal. We really only use the app to set schedules, add new devices, etc. I have a really hard time waking up in the winter when you have so few hours of daylight, I love that the [non-motion] dimmer in our master bedroom can be programmed to turn on very slowly. Wife and I both have to wake up early to take meds, and it’s nice to have the schedule set to come on at 6 at 1% brightness, then from 6:15 to 6:45 it gradually increases in brightness to a set brightness.Cons: TP-Link/Kasa needs to get with the program on wiring standards and what size devices fit in the in wall boxes. I’ve been out of the game for over a decade, but back when I worked for an electrical contractor we had single gang boxes (fit one device, outlet, switch, etc) and single gang deep. The box size you would install for new construction depended on the wire size (& quantity), and device. These devices are a little larger than a GFCI outlet, which typically is going to go into a deep box. The issue is that a lot of the places you might want to use these devices, you’re going to have a 15A circuit and a standard depth box, so it’s going to be a tight squeeze. If you’ve ever replaced your own dumb outlets or switchs you’ll be familiar with the screw terminals, for ground, hot, and neutral (and if a GFCI outlet then hot wires have line and load terminals too). A majority of the Kasa devices I have ONLY have pigtails. So you end up with a wildly unnecessary number of splices to make and jam into a box. I think this is bad news bears for any DIY’er who hasn’t had proper training in correctly splicing wires. (though you could make this argument for people not knowing how tight to screw down the terminals, the correct direction to loop the wires around the terminal, etc) I digress… given the huge size of the devices, there’s not a lot of room for having to stuff up-to 3 additional wirenuts into the back of the box. They come with the tiny orange wirenuts, which in a dual or greater gang box is going to be way too small for all the neutrals. TP-Link/Kasa: please update all your models to have screw terminals instead of pigtails!Ok now that I’m done with my rant, I still love these devices! We use the basic motion sensor in the laundry room. Wife left the lights on all day, I’d forget too. It’s wildly convenient to walk into the laundry room with an armload of laundry and the lights turn on for you. It’s double convenient since our garage walks into the laundry room, so when you come home at 530-6 and it’s already pitch black outside because time fell-back already, it’s awesome when the lights come on for you. I thought I might have issues where the lights turn off on you while you’re switching loads, kneeling in front of the dryer trying to fold things, etc. But they seem to stay on, and the default “time off” seems to be reasonable as well. Game changer, now I have to figure out where to install the dimmer version I picked up on sale!

I have about 20 TP-Link Kasa devices, so you could say I’m invested in them. This is my second motion-sensor light switch, and it works as well as the first one. I ordered it from a Warehouse Deal, and when I got it I found that the person who sent it back had cut the ground wire to about 1/3rd of its original length , and then returned it to Amazon without the screws.I was able to get the switch installed, but it was a littler harder than usual due to the short ground wire. This brings me to my general complaint about Kasas and every other smart light switch: the size of the darn things. We can make super-slim cell phones with tiny WiFi radios and antennas, but we can’t make a Wifi light switch that fits easily into an electrical box. For some reason, these switches always have bulky backsides that take up more than half of the space in the box. To make it work, you have to artfully arrange all of the wires in the electrical box and then push the switch in with the screws. It would make a big difference if they just cut down the depth by 1/4 of an inch. Just sayin’.Once installed, the switch is easy to add in the Kasa app, and the motion detection is very good. It also has a light sensor, but I’m using it in a windowless laundry room so I just have it set to always turn the light on (and off after 30 seconds of no movement).I also want to mention the covers that TP-Link provides with their switches: they’re terrible. They have a seamless snap-on design that looks great, but are extremely difficult to remove. It feels like you’re going to break the cover or the switch just to get it off initially. When I tried to remove one from an installed switch, I thought I was going to rip the whole switch out of the wall. These covers were a great idea that was poorly executed, and nothing has changed in five years. I’d rather that TP-Link just left them out.
The magical smart switch is excellent, Looking forward to updating and improving, to do better. The media could not be loaded. I should be a loyal fan of this brand, and my home has basically been replaced with smart switches!My feelings about using this smart motion sensor switch:First: It basically meets my usage requirements and meets my sensory expectations!Second: the sensor is relatively sensitive! It may be a problem with the installation (there is a shoe rack in front of the switch to block it), so the sensor is relatively slow when entering from the garage door. On the contrary, it can sense and work in time when entering the room door (side of the switch).Third: The ambient light setting is a good idea! You can adjust the light you want to trigger the sensor at will, so that the switch will not be triggered when the garage is well lit. Of course, if you don’t care about your electricity billFeel free to!Fourth: Time setting is also a good choice. You can set the working time of the switch at will, so that you will not accidentally trigger the switch outside the set working time!Disadvantages: The closing method is too “smart”. I don’t feel very good about the closing option. Whether it is manually turning on the light or triggering the light, it can only choose to turn off at the specified time or manually turn off (and it is One or the other and cannotcombination).This makes it so that if I set a specified time, if I want to work in the garage for a long time, I must report to the switch within the specified time, or the switch will be turned off at the time.If I set manual off, then I have to remember to turn off the lights when I leave.The smart switch I want is: if I turn on the light manually, it will not turn off at the specified time, if it is triggered by a motion sensor to turn on the light, it will turn off at the specified time!
Works well. I’m impressed. I’m a very savvy guy when it comes to IoT. Installation was easy. Instructions were very very clear and setup was very very easy and did not take long at all. Just a few taps from my phone and this was setup. Under 3 minutes to get this added to my phone for controlling things. Now, I’m all automated.
These are great light switches! So easy to install, took me 10 minutes for each one just be sure to have your power turned off to the switch! LOLInstalled three initially and now have two more. Love using Alexa to turn these on and off as well as the motion sensor detection works great! The app is easy to use and easy to change settings as needed.
Works great – fixed a flickering issue from other brand. Bought another brand, installed, and it flickered the LED lights that equal less than 50w. It had multiple settings for dip switches but flickered no matter what. Was twice as expensive as this one. Installed this and it works perfectly except the top dimmer buttons actually get stuck behind the faceplate sometimes. I’ll be switching the plate with standard one to see if that helps. Maybe spacers. Also I wish these would pair with smart life app or with Alexa without having to add another app to my phone. Too many apps now when all I need is the Alexa one really. But otherwise, if not for the faceplate sticking the dimmer buttons it’d get 5 stars.
Awesome light switch. We swapped out a regular light switch for this one in our main bedroom which is on the larger side and being lazy during tv time at night, we didn’t want to get up to turn on/off the light. This inexpensive upgrade did the trick. I didn’t realize at the time that this also has motion detection if you want – so we set the motion to turn on lights between 9p – 11p when we enter the room. Just a cool feature that you can program or not. The mobile app is reliable and setting up was easy. We can no turn the lights on/off from our phones in bed or whereever. A+
Not 3 way. I originally tried installing it on one of two hallway switches. Then I learned that it wasn’t able to replace three way switch. I ended up installing it for my dining room and connected the white neutral wire to green wires after watching troubleshooting instructions and it works great. It even responds to alexa voice commands.
one of four is defective. I was very excited to see kasa now has motion sensor. Got 2 packs (total 4) to install in bathrooms for the fan and in mud room for ceiling light. I have an electrician come to do the installation and the 4th one is defective. Very disappointed with the Kasa quality now because I am installing them all over the new house we will be moving in and I had to return multiple kasa switches.
4.8 out of 5. This is a great product and works exactly as advertised. I would recommend this.For my use case, I aimed to reduce the amount of switches needed to turn on, on my way to the bathroom which is three! So installing an auto light helped tremendously, and I don’t have to worry about if I left the light on. I want a home like the Star Trek Enterprise Fully automated.CONS• No manual override to keep onI would have assumed with all the great features baked into this, there was a setting that would allow you to keep it on, but no. I have one in the bathroom so I have to set the time out really long in the evening to keep it from turning off when showing. PLEASE KASA update to have an option to keep the light on, something like press the switch twice to keep on until you press it again.•No fine movement sensitivityThough, you can easily adjust from three sensitivity levels, it’s not great at detecting fine movement. I have one installed in a 3.5 x 7 “room” and it will turn off if I’m sitting rather still but just using my phone, or reading a book and slightly moving my hands and head as I read.OVERALLit’s a great product. I’m on 1gig fiber and the network traffic has not been affected. I like that you can set the dim on and off, brightness for certain times, and put it in a timer.
Two Years and Working Great. I have this in my garage to control two sets of dimmable LEDs and it’s absolutely perfect. As soon as I walk into the garage the lights turn on — and five minutes after I leave they turn off.I have a lot of “smart” stuff in my home and I’m continually impressed by the Kasa line of switches and plugs. I wish these were around years earlier when I put GE/Jasco switches everywhere. Kasa is far more responsive, more configurable, and they look better. They also seem to be more reliable, too. I haven’t had to replace any (yet).FYI, if your Kasa switch ever “dies” don’t forget to try the little reboot button before going into full troubleshooting mode. I’ve only needed this once and it fixed the issue.
I love these. So simple to install (for those that know about electrical house installation) and they pair great with automation. Have a few in different areas I often forget to turn off the lights. Works great!
Easy to install and works great. These work great. I had them installed through an electrician, though I could have done it myself.Easy to install and configure the settings like how long they stay lit etc.Motion sensitivity is configurable and great. Instructions are good.Kasa app is also simple. I have not configured them on Alexa yet.These switches (for that matter any smart switch) is bulkier in both width and depth than traditional switches. So make sure you have enough space where these need to be installed.At $15 -$20 a piece, they are more about convenience than electricity cost savings.
