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

Great product, works with fans!
It’s a 15A switch compatible with ceiling fans! It works with Alexa and Google devices using WiFi. Great product and great price. Easy to install and setup in the Kasa app.

By far the easiest HomeKit switches to install
My home has switches and dimmers from various vendors. These have by far been the easiest and most reliable to install. Connects to HomeKit on the first try every time. I also love how the LED can be shut off in the Kasa app, unlike my Weemo dimmers that have an obnoxiously bright LED that can’t be shut off. Any switches I have fail in future will be replaced by Kasa ones.

Great for Local Control in Home Assistant
I had been using different Shelly modules behind traditional light switches, but the Shelly modules kept dying and I couldn’t figure out why. I decided to substitute these in instead of the Shelly modules as these were well reviewed and I like the paddle switch look.I luckily had an available neutral wire in my switches electrical box, and installation went very easily. I connected each switch to my IOT WiFi network without issue which is actually a big deal for me. As my IOT WiFi network blocks WAN (internet) access by default, I have run into problems with some products from other manufacturers which require the device to have internet access before it declares setup successful.I did briefly allow each switch online so it could update with the shipped firmware (1.0.5) to the latest before blocking their internet access once more.Home Assistant found them very quickly via the “TP-Link” integration (I used the “TP-Link Smart Home sub-setting after selecting TP-Link), and I was able to add them to the appropriate room and control them with my voice assistant. This all worked without the switches having any access to the internet (a.k.a. local or offline control), which was exactly what I wanted!Note: I had some minor, brief wireless drop-outs with two of the three switches in Home Assistant, but that all went away once I updated the switches to the latest firmware; they have been rock-solid since.THANK YOU SO MUCH to TP-Link for giving consumers to control their smart devices without having to resort to yet another cloud service! The only thing that would improve my experience is if I could update the switches firmware via Home Assistant (ideally) or via a web interface local to each device similar to how Shelly does it.

Failed after 6 months – KS200
When it worked it worked as expected. Had zero issues with it until about the 6th (almost 7th) month. Light circle kept flashing one/off red/orange, not a slow flash when you first connect it. Tried to reset it restart it, turn off the circuit breaker with no success. I had an extra one and installed. I don’t expect any issues but it was cheap and I can forgive one but not 2 failing on me. Will update again if I see issues with the 2nd one.Update: 07/20/2024Junk. What is with these things? I Installed a 2nd one 6 months ago and guess what? failed 6 months later. i don’t like giving negative reviews but 2 in 12 months for the same circuit is unacceptable. since it’s well past the purchase date, can’t get a refund. going in the garbage can. will be looking at another brand.Update: 08/27/2024Why hasn’t TP-Link addressed the large failure rate of these switches? They are rated highly for ease of use but one of the reviewer earlier said “4 of 9 switches failed.” That’s a 44% failure rate. My 2 of 2 is a 100% failure rate. The one thing that i did like about them is that they are not as deep as others that i’ve found. But the failure rate just doesn’t justify another purchase.
