Kasa Smart HS200 Wi-Fi Light Switch - Control Your Lights from Anywhere with 2.4GHz Wireless Connection

Juan Limon: En México no ponemos neutro en los apagadores, por lo cual debemos instalar un cable desde la caja de switches a el apagador que lleve un neutro, o poner un condensador que hace mucho ruido. Hay otros modelos que no necesitan ninguna de estas dos cosas.

D_Dub: First things first. Despite not being able to find any instructions on installation and setup, it ended up being pretty easy for me. However, I did have to look up how to install a standard light switch. Knowing that, I was able to remove my current 3-light switch panel, install 3 individual Kasa light switches, and connect them to wifi/Alexa in about 30 minutes give or take. However, I ran into a bit of a problem on a 2-light switch in my home because it was not wired the standard way. So, more digging and following lines had to be done on those. As well as more online research. With that being said, it took me approximately 45 minutes give or take on those (i.e. from beginning to end). In addition, those switches were also on the same circuit as my wifi, so I had to allow the wifi to restart before connecting to wifi/Alexa. Although I had some challenges, if you have a standard wired light switch with the neutral wire available, a basic understanding of wiring a light switch, and a little courage, you should be able to install these switches relatively easily. One more thing. The wires on the switches are color coded and your home should be also, so that really helps to simplify...

Fernando Zavala Reina: Me pareció muy fácil de instalar, de buena calidad, un precio en oferta excelente, lo recomiendo ampliamente, el único detalle fue el envío y las autorizaciones del pago, solicite 8 el mismo día y solo ha llegado uno. Amazon debe poner atención a esto; por eso solo le quito una estrella.

Erick MR.: No es complicada la instalación pero si requiere un neutro igual que la mayoría, hay otra versión de esta misma marca que no lo requiere, pero si no sabes nada de electricidad con cualquiera vas a necesitar un electricista, la aplicación es muy buena, me encanta la fácil y perfecta integración con Alexa y Google home, además me gusta que trae dos botones muy bien escondidos en la parte de enfrente por si alguna vez se requiere reiniciar por cambio de contraseña del WiFi, a diferencia de otras marcas que es un poco más complicado, de ahí puedes programar horarios y demás además cabe perfecto en el espacio donde va el apagador a diferencia de otras marcas que queda súper justo el espacio

scrapnkaren: Recently installed the Kasa HS200 and linked with Google Home. A few things I liked during the install:
1) Wires are colour coded per North American standard, but are also identified by labels on the back of the switch. Two black wires are non-specific for line and load. Wire nuts included!
2) Wire ends are tinned. This is very appreciated since the ground wire can be directly tucked under the ground screw of the box. Other switches I have used do not have tinned wire ends so the loose wire strands will not clamp properly under the ground screw. Well done TP-Link!
3) The switch body is not that deep, so minimal effort to squish wires and switch into box.

Setup using the Kasa app was simple. Pair your phone with the switch, choose the wifi network, and enter password for network. Linking with Google Home was straightforward too.

Overall, very happy with this product. I would buy again and I definitely recommend!

Sam Kamel: I have been a very happy user of Kasa devices for at least 3 years and now have 28 devices throughout our home. Thanks to Kasa we're more energy efficient, safer and enjoying the happy conveniences of a smart home.

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...

AlarmGy: I made the jump to a "Smart Home" a little over a month ago after Alexa joined our family. After talking to some friends, doing some research and assesing my needs I settled on TP-Link because of the variety of Smart products they offered, no requirements for a Hub, the lower cost and the ability to control everything from one simple app on my Smart phone and Amazon"s Alexa.
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...
