But Kasa offers a selection of products so they're trying to streamline the controls in their app. I wish the TP-link smart wi-fi light switch worked directly with my Apple HomeKit so it was one less app to download. It's especially helpful if you go out of town a lot to keep the house more lit up.

We've been wanting lights like this for a while. And then our light is set turn off during the night but it's customizable to you and your needs. We choose 'sunset' which is nice that it adjusts to the daytime/nighttime hours. Then we downloaded the Kasa app to our phone and we were able to set up the lights to automatically turn on. My husband is handy and understands basic wiring, so he was able to do the installation. One of them had to be ordered online since the plate is more specialized to cover 4 switches, not all the same size. But before we could install the new smart switches, we had to buy new light plates. We have 2 switches to control them- one in our foyer and one in our garage. We installed these switches in our home for our garage lights on the front of the house. It works with Apple or Andrioid, Alexa and Google Assistant. This smart light switch is intended to work with a 3-way switch that controls the same light. Included- 2 smart switches, wire labels, 2 year warranty TP-LINK - Wi-Fi Smart Light Switch 3-Way Kit No problems, the design (and the included wall plate) has a clean and simple, matches the other non-smart switches I have in the home. The switch does what it’s advertised to do. One thing I noticed, only the bottom portion of the switch toggles on and off, it sort of looks like its always in the “on” position. Now when my kids leave the lights on, I can either make them go back and turn off or I can turn it off with Alexa. This took about 10 minutes and I had a working 3 way smart switch! “Alexa, turn on stairs!”. Once the hard part was done, all I had to do was connect to the switch wifi and configure it to my home wifi as well as setup on Alexa. I can shut off manually from either switch and have smart switch capability. I ended up leaving my original 3 way switch here and installing the smart switch on the other end of the circuit, works fine. I had a bit of difficulty with my installation, one of the switches I was replacing only had 4 wires (2 traveler, power, and ground), it didn’t have a neutral wire that was needed by the smart switch. The TP-Link app “Kasa” is very user friendly, it walks you through the installation step by step. Then I noticed the stickers that TP-Link was nice enough to include to assist with labeling your wires. This is my first foray into 3 way switches, I’ve heard they can be complicated and the advice I received was “label your wires”! First thing I did when installing the TP-Link 3 way smart switch was to take a photo of the wires the way it was wired into my “dumb” switch”.
