Wall Control Switch

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.

Love I can control thr thermostat on my phone and it's also easy to use on the wall.

I’m really enjoying this convenient control from my phone, it looks nice on the wall also

I like that it includes a volume control, a power switch and audio control.

Very bright. Wish it had an in-line switch, rather than plugging and unplugging at the wall.

The ecobee looks great on the wall. It is so nice to be able to have the flexibility to control the temperature from my phone.

Have only had it for a few days, but I love the power switch and volume control on the remote.

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.

I like this for the price and for general POE use. Mount it on a wall or place it on a shelf. Great little switch general purpose.

Cannot use with a standard double switch wall plate because the mounting plate is a bit thick. Must use with provided single switch wall plate. Switch is really nice and works very well.
