Open Smart Switch

We fitted two smart door sensors which are useful to switch off AC when left open, so saving energy. Also, we have the security feature activated, this is useful to know when people are moving about when we’re not home. The Ecobee system we’ve installed integrates well with the smart home infrastructure, at night if a bedroom door is opened the hallway light comes on low so it’s possible to see where you’re going without compromising night vision.

This is a review of a free product received from TP-LINK for testing and feedback as part of their review program. I replaced a standard manual wall switch with the HS200 Smart Switch. So now my Living Room Chandelier is connected by Wi-Fi to the Internet and can be remotely controlled using my Smartphone or Tablet from anywhere in the world. I had a single switch wall box which turned a large decorative Living Room Chandelier On/Off. I replaced that manual switch with the HS200 Smart Switch. Since the Chandelier is visible to the street, through a window, I reasoned that having it controlled by a Smart Switch could help deter burglars. I had no problems installing the HS200. My existing single switch wall box had a Neutral Line and I used the plastic HS200 Switch Plate. As for manual operation, a gentle tap on the large rectangular button turns the HS200 On or Off. It's a momentary switch. Very little movement is needed to toggle between On and Off. An internal glowing circle of light makes it easy to locate the Smart Switch in a dark room. Below the main HS200 On/Off switch are two small rectangular buttons. RESET for an App or Factory Reset. RESTART to reboot. The HS200 works with Kasa, a free Android and iOS app. Kasa on your Smartphone or Tablet can turn the Smart Switch On/Off locally and remotely. Voice commands work on Amazon Alexa devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Tap). With Alexa, multiple TP-LINK Smart Switches and Plugs can be grouped under one name. HS200 Wi-Fi operates on the 2.4GHz band. That gives it a good Wi-Fi range and makes it compatible with all routers. If the 5GHz band had been used, the speed increase would have been inconsequential, but the range would have been less and older routers wouldn't have been accommodated. I've been using TP-LINK HS100 and HS110 Smart Plugs to automate my home for several months. They have worked great. My Smart Plugs control a fan, desk lamp, air conditioner, and TP-LINK NC250 Security Camera.

Great smart switch, the quality is very good and the app is intuitive!

The TP-Link Smart Light Switch ITs The Best Light Switch Is The Best.

this is a great smart switch. Simple but easy to use and install. No other complaints.

Open didn’t allow me to switch between 2 phones. Open comm2 fixed this issue for me

Reliable smart switch, easy installation. The control options are great

I’ve been using this product for several weeks now. As a sensor for our smart thermostat, it’s awesome. If the door/window is open for more than 5 minutes, it deactivated the central air so that we don’t waste energy. I’ll be looking to pick up another set for other doors and windows in the house.

I was once a firm believer that a tablet isn't something useful - especially if you already own a desktop, smart phone, and a laptop. I was SORELY wrong after deciding to try out the 8th gen iPad. Sound quality is great, and the 10.2 is nice and vibrant. The battery life for this iPad is phenomenal for it's screen size. For the price, this was an excellent purchase for a first-time buyer! It's extremely-lightweight, and very useful for doing tasks that would be a bit cumbersome on your smartphone (e.g. having a recipe open while cooking, reading an eBook, checking email). This tablet's processor is very impressive, as I was able to navigate from app-to-app without as much as a hitch. You can also have multiple apps open at once and interact with them on the same screen using the multi-tasking feature.

This is a two-pack of the same great wall switch from TP-Link's Kasa line of products. If you live in that world, or even have smart items from other companies, these blend seamlessly into your smart home system.
