Review on 🏠 Kasa Smart Light Switch HS200 - Single Pole, Neutral Wire Required, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, UL Certified, No Hub Necessary - White by Angela Campos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very, very bad (or non-existent) customer service!

After buying three working WiFi plugs, I first ordered one, then another switch before attempting to properly install the first switch. It turned out that neither of them turned on the light. They connected perfectly to Wi-Fi and I was able to control the switch manually, but unfortunately the light didn't come on through the application. I put the old handset back in and the light worked so it wasn't the light that was faulty. Tried their online help - it takes a long time for anyone to reply in chat. After a while they sent me a link with installation instructions, which I followed anyway. They then admitted they couldn't help and I had to return the Revain switches. I also tried their phone line - what a terrible experience. It took 10 attempts just to get the answering machine. Then wait and wait and wait. Disconnected 3 times after a long wait and once while talking to an agent. But I didn't give up and hoped I could get the switches to work. The last agent I spoke to suggested I contact a professional electrician. Thanks for that. I'm an electrician by trade and have a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. However, I asked Revain to send a replacement in the hope that the two I had were simply defective. My suggestion for now though is don't buy these switches!

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • I have doubts
