Kasa Matter Smart Light Switch: Voice Control w/Siri, Alexa & Google Assistant, UL Certified, Timer & Schedule, Easy Guided Install, Neutral Wire Required, Single Pole, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, 3-Pack

The Kasa Matter Smart Light Switch has been rock-solid since day one. I’ve installed several throughout the house, and not a single one has failed me yet. In a world where smart home tech can be hit or miss, this switch is a total win. Setup was smooth and intuitive—no headaches, no confusing steps. It integrates seamlessly with my smart home system and responds instantly to voice commands or app controls. Whether I’m automating routines or just flipping lights on and off from my phone, it works every time. The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy, looks sleek, and blends perfectly with our home’s style. I also appreciate the Matter compatibility—it future-proofs the setup and keeps everything running smoothly across platforms. If you’re looking for a smart switch that delivers reliability, ease of use, and solid performance, this is it. Kasa nailed it. I’ll be sticking with them for all future installs.

I bought one, installed it in a box that has three switches, two of which are 3-way, so there were many wires. I had to 'dig' to find the neutral, but found it (four wires in one wire nut) and added the Kasa Matter neutral without any problem. Once installed, I proceeded to connect it to Alexa. I was able to scan the code with my i-Phone and after getting the Kasa App, everything went along easily. Then I ordered two more Kasa switches. The second and third ones were easier to install as they were in boxes with just two switches, so not as many wires. I could not scan the codes for the last two, so I simply entered the numeric code (11 numbers) that is under the code and these worked fine. I really like how they work and being able to turn lights on and off without having to go to the actual switch. BTW, the third one is connected to a ceiling fan and it work just fine also. Very happy.

I’m in the process of replacing many Z-Wave switches with ones directly compatible with the Alexa devices and was intrigued by these new Matter compatible devices. The older (pre-Matter) switches were very easy to install and integrate with the Alexa app quite quickly. This one isn’t as easy as the online documentation is very confusing, indicating in some places to integrate it first with the KASA app, and in others to use Alexa first. The KASA app integration always worked fine and was quick, however then following the instructions for Alexa wouldn’t work. I then reset the device and tried integrating it to Alexa first. The first 5 times failed, then the 6th succeeded and it worked from the Alexa app for about 12 hours then disappeared. I tried again about 7 more times to get it to integrate to Alexa and each time it looked like it was working, it would say the WiFi password was incorrect (it wasn’t). In one last attempt before returning it as not-working, I reset it again and integrated it first with the KASA app. It integrated right away so rather than following the instructions for adding it to Alexa via the app I just said “Alexa find my new devices” and it did! It’s been working for over 24 hours straight now and continues to be controllable through both the KASA app and Alexa. So the lesson learned is: Integrate first with the KASA app and let Alexa take it from there!

The last time I worked with electricity was in the 6th grade when we learned about circuits with a lightbulb and a 9-volt battery. I watched a couple YouTube videos, read the simple instructions in the box, and dove in. The line and load wires were easy to join with wire nuts. It doesn't matter which wire goes to which on the switch so long as you keep the two line and loads for each switch straight from each other. This wasn't a worry for me since I removed and then installed one switch at a time. Also, one of the switches I removed was a dimmer. I chose to install this single pole switch and lose the dimming because The KS225 Matter dimming switch is slightly deeper than the KS205 single pole and I was worried my wall plate wouldn't be flush. My old switches had a raw copper wire for the ground. You know it's the ground because a) it has no rubber coating (at least in my case) and b) it's not really "connected" to anything, just attached to some metal part of the switch. The smart switches use green for their grounds. Use the supplied wire nuts to join them. For the neutral wire, you should be fine so long as your house was built in 1985 or later. Dumb switches don't use them, but this smart switch requires them. I was a bit perplexed when I opened my 2-gang light plate to see three white wires with one wire nut on them. Two switches, three wires. When I Googled, I found out that multi-gang switches are often on a single circuit. I knew this was true for me, because one breaker switch turned off both of the lights these go to. All three wires have to stay together. Since I was installing two smart switches, I paired my neutral wires with the three (which were tightly twisted together under the wire nut), then screwed the wire nut back on. Gave them a few tugs to make sure they were tight, and I was good to go. Getting all my spaghetti wires put back in the junction box was a task, but I managed. Then I used the new screws to attach the switches to the junction box. Make sure you're using the wide holes for this, otherwise they aren't going to match when you go to do the second one. The wide holes also allow you to slide them side to side as you adjust the spacing for the wall plate to line up. For the wall plate, I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K8Z6K2P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title They aren't completely "screwless". There's a plate that you screw to the switches, which was pretty easy to do and lets you get those switches spaced and lined up just right. Once you have them where you want them, there's an access hole to the actual screws that attach the switches to the junction box, so now you can tighten those up. Then you pop on the pretty part of the cover! I gotta say, when we flipped the breaker back on, I did take several steps back just in case, and stayed far away the first time I turned them on after the easy-peasy setup with my Google Home app. No sparks, no fires, just glorious light! If you're confused about the whole "requires a hub for Matter", I'm not really sure what they mean by that. I'm all Google/Android in my house and this makes 4 TP-Link Matter smart devices I've set up now and I don't have a hub of any kind. I don't even install the Kasa or Tapo app, I just scan the QR codes in my Google Home app. 🤷‍♀️ Pro tip: the extra stickers that come with the switches... make sure you don't mix them up if you are installing more than one at a time. The Matter code is also on the front of the switch, but that gets covered up by the screw on part of the wall plate I used. If you use the supplied wall plate, there's no extra screw on step, it just pops on and off and you can see the code. For now, I wrote on the back of the sticker which one goes with which switch, but I think I'll pop the gold cover off and just stick them directly to the plate that I screwed in. For someone that isn't usually a DIY-er and has some fine motor movement issues due to a disability, I'd rank this a 2 out of 5 for difficulty. Now that I've done it once, the next ones will be even easier. I'm very happy with my purchase and very happy with myself for accomplishing this!

I am using this switch to control a couple of outdoor outlets for Christmas lights, and it has been working well! The wiring is straight forward with clear instructions. The setup using the Kasa app, and scheduling the on/off times was easy. I have experience with a couple of off brand smart switches / outlets in the past, and have had issues with the software, with one of the brands going out of business, and I lost support of the software rendering them useless. I decided to go with a name brand like TP-Link and so far so good.

Great price, good quality, and easy to setup. They work very well!!

Easy to install and to had no problems to get it connected to my home network. Would buy again

They work well but not sure why they feel warm on or off. The same model with the dimmer doesn’t do that. Been trying to reach customer service for a while but to no avail.

These were easy to install and app decent. Navigating the app to set up set times a little cumbersome but figured it out.

Excellent interrupteurs, facile d’installation et compatible HomeKit en 30 secondes.

Easy to install works great
