Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought a 3 pack needing 2. In fact, my setup is a 4-way setup (3 switches) this switch has clear labeling to identify the traveler screws.

It is easy if you had done some basic electrical wiring before. Everything is well labeled and there's instructional videos that i didn't bother to watch. I agree, though i may have misread something when setting up mine.



Cons

I attempted to install the kit on my stairwell 3 way, both ends like the kit recommends. The software is messed up. Install at the peril of your privacy.

Now i'm disconnected from 1st switch with no way to reconnect. Quality control is not there either.

With the on command the fixture turns on as expected but shows off in app after 1-2 seconds. This essentially disables the app from turning the fixture off. For the scheduled timer to work, it has to be connected to the internet.

The kasa app doesn't always show the correct status on the * switch. Customers can't tell whether it is on or off before clicking the on/off button.
