Kasa Smart Light Switch HS200, Single Pole, Needs Neutral Wire, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Light Switch Works with Google Home, UL Certified, No Hub Required, White

The Kasa Smart Light Switch HS200 worked perfectly for me. Setup was straightforward, and it connected to my 2.4GHz Wi-Fi without any issues. The size is just right to fit in a standard wall box, and it feels solid and well-built. Performance has been great so far — accurate control, responsive, and it works seamlessly with the Kasa app for scheduling or remote control. Overall, this was a great deal and totally worth it if you want to upgrade to a smart switch. No problems so far, super easy to use, and works exactly as expected.

I purchased two; they work excellently since I have other Kasa stuff. It was easy to add these to the app. I love all of Kasa products. They have an easy app to work with and understand. The black color switches looks very contemporary and futuristic.

Our townhouse has an attached garage. The garage has 2 exterior lights that can only be turned on from inside the garage but not from inside the house. Near the garage is our front door. Inside the house there is 1 switch for the single exterior light near the front door. I was searching for a way to turn on all 3 lights using just the 1 interior light switch by the front door. I bought (2) Kasa Smart Light Switches (HS200) which I then added to my new Home Assistant setup (not required) and it works great and was easy to install / setup. Installing these switches cost less than $30. You do need to be comfortable replacing and wiring a light switch. You need to have a “neutral” wire in the light switch box. If you have an older house this might not work for you. Our town home was built in 2001 so it’s not that new but not that old either and had the appropriate wires needed. You can install these switches and use the native app on a smart phone to program a variety of tasks. There is no need for a home automation system / hub. From the app I was able to set the switches so that if I turn on/off one switch it turns on/off the other switch. Essentially pairing them together. They still function as individual light switches (non-smart switch) if the wifi goes out - so the pairing feature only works with an Internet connection but they still function as single light switches if the Internet is down. This smart switch has a small circular indicator light on the bottom of the switch which I set to only turn on if the lights are on. So, if I forget that the outside lights are on - the indicator light on the wall switch will be on. I like the visual clue so I don't leave them on all night. I like being able to use the smart switch just like a regular non-smart switch by pressing the switch - mostly because my wife won't bother with voice or phone app controls so we need a physical switch. I think it's fun to be able to control the lights from my phone and also from Google Home / Assistant. I can ask Google (or Alexa or my Home Assistant) to turn the lights on or off with voice commands too. They can also be programmed to come on/off at particular times of the day but I haven't used this feature. Another cool thing is that I can turn the lights on or off remotely with an internet or data connected phone - if I'm not at home. I use this feature if friends or family are going to arrive at my place before I do and I want to have the lights on for them. These smart switches were just the thing I was looking for and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment since it took me a few years to get around to solving this issue. I can now turn on 3 lights using 1 switch without having to hire an electrician and without running new wires in the house. For under $30 this was an outstanding value and I'm very pleased with the results.

I’ve installed multiple Kasa HS200 smart switches throughout my home, and they’ve quickly become one of my favorite smart home upgrades. 🧠 Works with Alexa and Google Assistant — No Hub Needed What I love most is the simplicity—this switch connects directly to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi without needing a hub (highlighted in the title and comparison chart on page 4). Once installed, it syncs seamlessly with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice commands like “turn off the kitchen lights.” 🔧 Straightforward Installation (If You Have a Neutral Wire) The product clearly states it requires a neutral wire (see "About this item" on page 1 and install guide on page 3), and that’s the only catch. Once you’ve got that, setup takes about 15–30 minutes with just basic tools. The Kasa app walks you through each step. 📱 Reliable App Control and Smart Features The Kasa app gives me full control over lighting from anywhere. Features like “Away Mode,” grouping, and scheduled routines (shown clearly in visuals on page 3) add a lot of convenience and security. ✅ Pros: No hub required, works over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Alexa/Google Assistant compatibility Intuitive app with scene, timer, and away mode features Responsive and consistent operation ❌ Cons: Requires a neutral wire Slight learning curve if you’ve never installed a switch before Overall: This is a fantastic entry-level smart switch. It's dependable, integrates well with other Kasa devices, and is priced affordably. Highly recommended for anyone modernizing their home’s lighting without the hassle of a hub.

Funciona excelente, no trae instructivo así que tuve que buscar la forma, recomiendo que se instale si tienes cerca unos contactos para que de ahí saques el neutro, en mi caso tenía el interruptor y contactos en el mismo lugar por lo cual pude ponerlo, mi instalación no tiene tierra física así que no conecté ese. En resumen es muy buen producto, pero requieres conocimiento básico sobre instalaciones eléctricas.

Excelente producto

Limpio, elegante y súper fácil de configurar. Después de configurar en la app Kasa pude agregarlos sin problema a la app Deco para controlar todo desde una sola app.

Lo compré porque mi cabecera tapaba el interruptor y era muy difícil el alcanzarlo. La verdad es que funciona muy bien y es muy fácil de instalar (recomiendo ver algunos tutoriales). Yo sólo compré un indicador de corriente directa (parece un desarmador) y me constó 15 pesos en una tienda de piezas eléctricas, lo compré porque en la instalación de mi casa los cables son del mismo color, necesitas saber cuál es el de la corriente directa. Si ya sabes cuales son los cables y su función, no hay problema. El cable de tierra lo deje tapado solamente, porque mi instalación no cuenta con ese. Pagué aproximadamente 300 pesos y por el precio vale la pena. Muchos se van por los que no requieren neutro y la verdad es que yo tengo un interruptor de esos y no responde bien con Alexa, incluso de repente falla con la aplicación que te dicen que instales, por eso es que puedo comparar y estoy pensando en comprar otro de esta marca. Es mejor instalar el neutro si no lo tienes.

I bought one of these smart TP-Link light switches back in February when they were on sale, to compliment my two Amazon Echo devices. I have since bought another two. Each time, I waited until they were on sale ($29) before buying. Even though I like these switches, I would not pay the full prize to buy them. But at a little over half the normal price, they are totally worth it. 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.
