I love their well-designed hardware - solid construction and sleek, modern, clean lines that fit well with our modern home. The devices were also highly reliable, working from the start and never failing in their steady, dependable operation.
And especially I love their mobile app, intuitive installation guide and ongoing feature enhancements, seamless integration with Alexa, etc. As the CEO of an IoT software company, I even asked my development teams to look at Kasa as an example of what we should do for our industrial line of products. In my view, the Kasa installation guides are a best practice which our company had to adopt as well!
Normally I'd stop there and say, "Great job Kasa!" and "Don't hesitate for a second if you're thinking of committing to Kasa for your own home!"
But recently I discovered another side of Kasa / TP-Link - and I just had to finally lean in and write this customer review. I've never had an issues with a Kasa device until installing this motion sensor switch. I was looking for a way to automatically turn off our bathroom fans to save on electricity costs. Motors suck up lots of electricity and our teenage boys don't think of turning things off, ever. :-) So I hoped that Kasa would ride to the rescue. But alas, I'll admit, I was disappointed. For some reason the fans wouldn't shut off using the motion sensing rules - which are easy to program by the way.
Finally, for the first time, I decided I had to contact Kasa / TP-Link customer service for support. And I didn't know what to expect. It's not like many tech firms excel in customer support. But that's when I saw a whole new side of the company... I am now not just a huge fan of their devices and software, but also of their friendly, effective and dedicated people!!!
Thanks so much to Betsy and Tyrone (hope it's okay to use your support names!) My emails were responded too quickly. Their suggestions for fixes were clear and actionable. And when it turned out that the normal fixes didn't work, Tyler came through by getting TP-Link's engineering team on the case... Another highlight of my experience I just have to share!
It turns out the devices needed a firmware update, but that hadn't yet been released for general availability. So, Tyrone was able to work with his engineers to provide a product firmware update to address our motion sensor problem - and it worked. He was always responsive, even proactive, following up to see if things had been corrected! He was very clear in his communications, and focused on getting this working with the full resources of TP-Link behind him.
That, my Amazon friends and fellow Kasa customers - or future customers - is just magic. It's one thing to buy products that always work ... And it's a whole new level to see a company so dedicated to customer satisfaction that they go the extra mile to fix a problem when inevitably, a problem does arise.
My commitment to Kasa / TP-Link went up several and eventually we'll have every switch and plug in home updated to Kasa so impressed I was by how they handled our firmware fix and update.
THANK YOU Tyrone and Betsy - YOU ROCK!!

1. Works perfectly with mixed 2.4G/5.0GHz Mesh wifi systems (Netgear Orbi 940)
2. Easy to install
3. All programming features in app, on Android: Timers, Scheduled events (inc sunrise/sunset)
4. Alexa integration works perfectly.
Honestly, best smart switches I've ever used. So many are more complex, but these are super simple and work. Android app is great.
I have not been disappointed. After a very short learning curve, I surprisingly found the installation and set-up of all the TP-Link Smart devices extremely easy and intuitive. I have installed several different Smart devices including three different bulbs (LB-100, 120 & 130) depending on the area, as well as, Smart Switches (HB-200) and Smart Plugs. All of it has installed, programed and worked with few problems.
The only criticism I have is the Kasa App. I have found it to be a bit bugy at times, but since I use it primarily for programming and setting up new devices and scenes, rather than operationally, it has not been an issue since Alexa handels most of that work. So far, in the six weeks my Smart Home has been in operation I have only had one problem where Alexa and the Kasa app lost communication with most of (but not all) of my TP-Link devices. But after a bit of head scratching I was able to restore communication.
So here's a tip to remember: I first tried rebooting the devices by cycling the power breaker, but that didn't work. Probably due to multiple devices signaling simultaneously and overloading Kasa. But, powering each device down for a few seconds then back up, and testing it before moving on ro the next one worked without a problem.
I also recommend using a different control application. I only have experience with Amazon Alexa, but it also interfaces with Google Home among others. I have found that controlling scenes from Kasa not to be reluable for some reason, while issuing the scene commands to Alexa works 90% of the time, with repeating the command becoming necessary about 10% of the time. But even with an occasional repeated command being necessary, TP-Link devices respond extremely well through Alexa's control. Plus Alexa is able to easily "group" multiple devices so you can control areas with a single command, or program macro activities that Alexa can perform with a single command. Capabilities Kasa does not have.
This is another deficiency of the Kasa app. Without the ability to group devices or run macro routines, it relies on programmed scenes which are very limiting for operational control. So another controlling app like Alexa or Home is essential to the TP-Link Smart Home system.
For me, because I have Alexa for operational control, both at home and away, these short comings in the Kasa app are non-issues. But if I didnt have this capability I think I would look to a different Hub controlled platform for my Smart Home lighting and device control.
HS-200 Smart Switch:
I am a retired electrician, so I found the installation easy. Most DIY homeowners with a basic knowledge of electricity and components should also have few problems with the installation.
I found this Smart Switch easy to control and the installation is about the same as replacing a standard light switch. But, a big drawback is not have a dimming capability. To me this should be a no-brainer and i cant understand why this featire is lacking. Because that would makevthis a 5 star product.
So before you procede there are a couple of precautions that should be noted.
First, you must three wires plus the ground (usually bare or green), and one must be the neutral (usually white) third wire, or the switch simply will not work. This can be an issue in some older homes (and even in some newer ones too).
The neutral wire is the "common" wire that runs throughout the house and is common to all circuits. It completes the loop in the circuit from the electrical box to the receptacle. The "hot" (or "line") wire (usually black) carries the electrical load for that circuit only (usually 15-20 amps max). And finally, the "load" wire (usually black, red, or it could even be white) completes the hot side of the circuit between the switch and the receptacle. To save time and money some electricians when wiring homes "old school" would complete the light circuit by running the neutral to the light receptacle and then run a 2 conductor (plus ground) to the switch. So even though you may have a white and black wire at the switch, the white wire is not a neutral, but the load wire that that completes the hot circuit when the switch is turned on (closed). So if you don't have 3 wires, one of them being the white neutral, you are out of luck using a Smart Switch. You can control the light however, by using Smart bulbs and then grouping them in the controling app (like Alexa).
Another caution is wire management. Standard light switches don't take up much room, so the original installing electrician had lots of room in the box to stuff extra wire. This is a luxury you don't have since the Smart Switch is much deeper and takes up most of the box. The new switch also uses leads that are wire nutted to the circuit wires and not terminated on the switch itself. Because of this, it may be necessay to shorten the wires to make room in the box for the extra electronics and wire nuts.
My advice is to open your intended switch boxes to survey your electrical wiring BEFORE you order the switches, so there are no surprises when it comes time to install.
One last safety precaution. Be sure to turn off the circuit at the electrical panel (breaker box). Also don't assume that all switches in a multi-switch box are on the same circuit. It is often the case that multiple circuits are in the box. This is especially true when a switch is controling a plug. So check all wires in the box with a meter to insure nothing is hot.
Finally, when wire nutting multiple wires it is VERY EASY to leave a wire loose. This can be very dangerous, as loose wires can work themselves free and cause arking and sparking that can damage connected equipment, and worse, start a fire. This is a common cause of electrical fires, and you might not know there is a problem until it's too late. So to ensure all wire nut connections are tight and secure, tug on each wire at the nut with needle nose pliers. If you can't pull it loose it should be good to go. Also make sure there are no bare wires poking out of the nuts. The switches use stranded wire so it's easy to have some stray strands loose outside the nut.
So that's about it. The install is pretty easy most of the time, but if you don't think you're experienced enough to do the job safely, put this phase of the job in the hands of a professional. It should be an easy job for any professional electrician, and should not be terribly expensive. Consider it cheep insurance!
The switch has a sleek design and a large button that clicks nicely. It has LED indicators for light and WiFi status. The switch, although very deep, fits in a standard wall plate and requires a neutral wire. The switch can handle up to 15 amps of power, which is enough for most lighting fixtures.
The only drawback of this model is that it does not have dimmer functionality. However, if you want a simple and smart way to control your single pole lights, the Kasa Smart Light Switch HS200 is a great choice.
You can’t beat the quality and functionality for the price.

En resumen es muy buen producto, pero requieres conocimiento básico sobre instalaciones eléctricas.
Installing one of these switches is relatively easy, assuming that you know what to do and feel comfortable working with electrical wiring and making electrical connections. You do need the original switch that you are replacing to have a neutral (white) wire so bear that in mind if you are planning to replace a switch in an old house with old wiring that doesn’t have neutral. The switch is a little bigger than a regular switch but it in my case, all 3 switches fit in quite well after I installed them. I used the included snap-on decora faceplates with two of the switches and although it took some effort, they snapped on flash with the wall. In the kitchen, I replaced only one of the two light switches that sit side by side and it took some effort to screw back on the old dual switch decora faceplate. The smart switch stuck out a little more than the other switch and as a result the plate didn’t sit flash with the wall on one side, leaving a narrow gap between the plate and the wall. But I used some caulk and it doesn't look too bad ... I think. Actually, in my case the hardest part, was removing the faceplate from the smart switch. It comes attached to the switch out of the box and you have to snap it off it before you can install the switch. But with some effort I managed to get the faceplace off without breaking it or the switch.
The TP-Link switch can work manually like any regular switch to turn the lights on and off but it permanently sits in a "switch-off" (or is it a “switch-on”?) position, unlike a regular switch which goes all the way in and out when depressed. Personally, it took me a couple of days to get used to that, especially the one in the kitchen which sits right next to the regular switch. But gotten used to it, I have.
To use it as a smart switch, you need to download the free TP-Link Kasa application on your smart phone. You download the application and follow the simple instructions and prompts to get the switch added to your network. The first time I connected them to my network, it automatically found that they needed a firmware update and it downloaded and installed it automatically. Once on the network, you can use the phone application to turn the lights on or off.You can also create routines and schedules to run the lights at certain times during the day or night. You set the "on" time and the "off" time and the light connected to the switch comes on and go off per schedule. Recently when I went on a 3 week vacation to Europe, I created schedules to run the lights at certain times and was able to control the lights remotely at will turning them on and off to give the impression that the house was occupied. Very useful indeed for travelers.
Lastly, if you own one, you can integrate the switch with the Amazon Echo or Google Home so that you can use voice commands to turn the lights on or off. I have two Echos and after enabling the free TP-Link Casa skill, I can now instruct Alexa to turn the lights on or off at will. I have also created a routine where at bed time I tell Alexa that I am going to bed and Alexa responds by first turning the living room light off, then turning the upstairs bedroom light on before it wishes me a Good night. :)
So far, I have not had any issues with these switches and they have been functioning very well. I am very happy with them.
The only drawbacks I find are the face plate included with the devices and the plastic frame that attaches it to the box. The face plates are much larger than standard Luton or Leviton wall plates. I don't use the included wall plates because they are much larger and do not match the other wall plates in my home. The plastic frame surrounding the switch - the part that holds the switch to the box is thicker than standard electrical switches. This causes inconsistencies on how far the switch protrudes from the wall. This causes issues in a multi-gang installation with standard switches when trying to fit the wall plate flush to the wall. It is also an issue in a single-gang installation with Lutron or Leviton screwless wall plates. I have had to modify the wall, box and the wall plate to make them fit properly. This takes more time than the rest of the installation and setup.
It is strange because the KP200 smart wifi outlet has a removable plastic frame and there are metal tabs under like a regular non smart outlet and this does not required further modification to install the wall plate. I wish the HS200 and HS220 were designed this way.
