🏠 Kasa Smart Light Switch HS200P3: 3-Pack with Alexa and Google Home Compatibility, No Hub Required Review

I have several Kasa products at home including 3 dimmers, 1 3 position switch and 2 sockets. I installed these three switches, but one switch had a problem. After a long reset, the settings were not saved. So I contacted their tech support. It was very good and they finally agreed to replace the faulty switch. However, they will not replace a single switch, only all three switches. That's a bad call. Don't make life difficult for your customers. Just send me a broken switch. Instead, I need to…

I like the style and the try. It's attractive, but what's the point if it just doesn't work. TP-Link maybe I was just unlucky but after my second purchase and with 3 different switches nothing worked. I don't know what else to do. For everyone else who gave up and ran into issues like mine, I bought a Treatlife switch and it just worked. The effort involved in the instructions and labeling reminds me of Apple's "it just works" marketing strategy. I generally try not to force anyone to switch to

I really like these switches. The only issue I had was that it was time for Alexa to recognize the name I gave the switches and turn them on and off with a voice command. I was told that she couldn't find a switch called xxxxxx. Everything worked perfectly during the installation, the setup of the KASA app and the setup of Alexa. The Alexa app even said I can now say on/off commands. I didn't find any fixes on Kasa, online or elsewhere that solved my problem until I figured out what the problem

I have installed these throughout the house to replace the standard 'decorative' switches. They are so similar to others that they don't stand out in any way. This is a great option for home automation. I set them up via IFTTT - the ones connected to my external (and some of my internal) lights turn off at dawn and turn on again at sunset. I never come home to a dark house. Best of all, they make home automation less scary for my husband, who doesn't really want to shout commands at the Echo. I

The on/off response time is very fast and the integration with Alexa/Google Home is great. For Alexa, you should change the device type for lights if you want the "lights off" command to work properly instead of asking Alexa which device is lit by name, as Alexa will recognize it as a "switch" by default. While this is technically correct, it is certainly useless for most people. With Google Home, it has a slight delay in initially detecting the device's state compared to Alexa, but it…

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…

We have HS200 switches in various places around the house and they are great! Before ordering, make sure your existing wiring has a white "neutral" wire. Most homes built in the last 30 years or so should have them, but it doesn't hurt to double-check before ordering switches you can't use. In addition, the installation is very simple and the Wi-Fi connection is very easy with the Kasa app on your phone. I've seen others ask about fan control with these switches - we've had a switch on our…
