Kasa Matter Smart Dimmer Switch: Voice Control w/Siri, Alexa & Google Assistant | UL Certified | Timer & Schedule | Easy Guided Install | Neutral Wire Required | Single Pole | 2.4GHz Wi-Fi | KS225

I love this Kasa smart dimmer switch! The installation was surprisingly easy thanks to the step-by-step guide in the Kasa app. The app itself is very user-friendly, allowing me to control the lights and set schedules from anywhere. The dimming is smooth with no flicker, and it integrates perfectly with Alexa for voice commands. This is a high-quality switch that makes any room feel more modern. Highly recommend!

We purchased this KASA smart dimmer switch to replace a similar switch that was installed when our house was built. That original switch was NOT a TP-Link product, and it did not connect with the KASA app, which is what most of our smart home devices used. We really prefer TP-Link and KASA connectivity because they are very user friendly. If the power or the Internet go out, these devices usually reconnect automatically. If they don't, resetting is very straight forward and quick. This particular TP-Link switch was easy to install, and once installed, was super easy to connect to our Wi-Fi. We love that we can adjust the lighting level from the switch or from the app. This switch controls 24 outdoor eve lights without any connection issues. Amazing! The switch also matches the look of other wall switches in our house. It's easy to use and very responsive. We are very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to install a single pole smart switch.

As an architect, I've specified lighting control systems that are tens of thousands of dollars for my client that do what these wifi based smart switches do for a small fraction of the cost. I've replaced about 20 dumb switches through out my home and have automated them and grouped them together such that you can zone your home. Really a fantastic product with great step by step instructions.Compatible with Google assistant and works flawlessly and reliably.Recommend a mesh wifi system so the devices will have a strong wifi connection. Smart features of these devices will not work without a wifi network but continue to operate like any 110v dump switch until wifi is returned.The are also super high quality and again at the fraction of the cost of a lighting control system and about a third less that Lutron Casa wifi switches. Kasa app is also really good and can operation all devices from your phone.

I recently installed a few WeMo switches so I could test them out, but found they weren't well designed and I wasn't particularly happy with them. So I started searching around for a new smart switch (Dimmer), and ran across the Kasa switches. I went ahead and purchased one to test it out.Installation: 5 stars, super easy and much better in my opinion than the WeMo switches. Main wires screw onto to the switch plate, and a couple of wires run off to attach with nuts. WeMo had all wires run off to attach with wire nuts which resulted in large amounts of wire and clutter behind the switches making them much harder to work with.Application: 5 stars, switch was immediately recognized and I had no problems with the application. Unlike the WeMo switches where I had several that had significant problems connecting, and they constantly disconnect. The Kasa switch has had a couple of times where the physical switch didn't work for a short period of time, but the app has always worked even when the switch didn't, and then the following day the physical switch would again work. Not sure if that is the result of a bad switch or if something else is going on, but ultimately it is a relatively minor issue as I can always use the application to turn the lights on or off if needed.Wireless: again the setup and connection were easy, and I haven't had any problems with the switch staying connected to my network and always being accessible via the application. I have loads of problems with this on the WeMo switches.Design: The design is much more well thought out from the wiring to even the physical function of the Switch than the WeMo version. WeMo uses a capacitive touch plate that runs the entire length of the switch. This results in the dimmer level constantly being change, turned off, etc... whenever you turn the light switch on or off because almost the entire switch is capacitive touch. Kasa on the other hand has their dimmer buttons at the very top of the switch so they are never in the way but are very easy to access.Quality: Quality seems to be on par with the WeMo, but the design decisions were clearly well thought out. If feels like someone actually tested the Kasa Switch, while it feels like no one actually ever tested the WeMo switch design of they would have easily seen and addressed several of the blatant issues it has.Note: there is one oddity with the Kasa switch, you may consider it a good or bad thing, but when turning the switch on/off there is a slightly delay (maybe 1-2 seconds). It caught me off guard at first and made me think the switch wasn't working properly. I'm still on the fence on whether this is a good thing or not, I think I prefer the instant switching action, but I can see why some people might prefer the delay and once you realize it is there it is honestly not a major issue.The Kasa Dimmer switch isn't perfect, there are a few oddities to it, but it generally functions well, it seems to be far more well thought out than the WeMo switches and is significantly more reliable as a "Smart" switch. If you are trying to decide between Kasa and WeMo, don't wait, go with the Kasa switches, they are significantly better in almost every way than my WeMo Switches have been. At some point I will be replacing the rest of my switches with the Kasa Switches and removing WeMo entirely from my house as they just have way too many problems with them.
