The best yet - switches and dimmers

A personal recommendation in advance If you are not a professional electrical worker save yourself a lot of headache and a lot of hassle and let a professional do it for you. I've been doing automation for a few years now and this is by far the best product for the price. They're pretty easy to install, no harder than a regular smart switch anyway. The price is very good compared to other brands that do the same. Integration is very easy and the Echo device will detect the switch as soon as it connects to your network. Of course, you'll first need to set up a Kasa account and link it to your Alexa account. Another thought is that you should make sure you have a neutral wire (usually white) on the box. Because these and all smart switches are actually relays and need constant power, and that only works if they're both hot and neutral in the box. As you can see from the pictures when installed correctly they will fit in a 3 speed box and look great. Sure, the inside of the box is pretty cramped in terms of all the cables and the fact that the switch has a big box for wifi and a relay, but other than that it's one of my favorite switches so far. I actually bought 4 more which I only installed a few days ago and I will definitely be updating this review in the near future. Updated 5/8/20. really smart Updated 6/20/20 I've got up to 19 switches and 2 dimmers now and it all works great. I have a few minor complaints. The faceplates make it difficult to mount the flash on the wall. I have OCD for some things and I really had to change the cymbals to get them the way I liked but that's just me All my equipment is duplicated and it's driving me crazy. I've already gone through all the troubleshooting procedures and they're still there. Hope this gets fixed
