Kasa Apple HomeKit Smart Dimmer Switch KS220, 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 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.

Found Kasa is a dependable substitute for some other brands and a great value. Nice options for setting schedules. Easy installation and quality assembly.

I recently bought these HomeKit capable dimmer switches to replace the WeMo dimmers I have been using until now. A couple of months ago, the WeMo dimmers simply stopped working correctly. No matter what I tried to reset them and reconfigure them, they refused to work.So I decided to give these Kasa dimmers a try since they were so highly rated here. Wow! These things are fantastic!The software set up is far superior. It is designed better. It looks really good. And the software does what it is supposed to. It works and it works well.The dimmers work excellently and I have zero complaints. Much more than I can say for the Wemo dimmers.I also bought a few of the Kasa smart plugs. They were a breeze to set up and work flawlessly.Going forward,, I will only be buying this Kasa brand. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.By the way, these dimmers and smart plugs cost much less than the competition with no sacrifice in quality at all.

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’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.

Kasa doesn’t disappoint. I have their plugs all over my house and have had zero issue setting up or using their products. If it says Matter then it’s Apple compatible. Use the Kasa app to set it up so you get the latest firmware, then add it to your HomeKit. Couldn’t be easer. I will say that I did get an electrician to install it because I was a bit intimidated by the spaghetti bowl of wires that was inside the electrical box. I probably could have done it but working with electrical stuff always makes me a bit nervous lol.
