Wireless Wall Switch Light Control

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.

A good portable photo-video light. Has dimmer switch to control brightness. Also has external power source. Also has accessory plastic shade.

I like a "clickie" tail switch in general, but the control setup here works just as well . In the old days, the SF lights I have owned were a bit sloppy in the tail cap when loosened and pressing the side of the cap could often activate the light. Here any slop is minimal allowing the tailcap to be tightened just to the point of constant on so that the tightening to achieve constant on can be done one handed. The light while not a thrower, produces a broad, fairly even and useful light. I am using the light with IMR 16340s and so far, so good.

Installed these with no problems, easy to use app. For those who don't know you need a 3-way switch if your light has 2 switches that control it. These smart switches are only for one light controlled by one wall switch.

This is an amazing wireless trigger. I can control all my speedlites with more or less light creating very impresive imgages

I just used it for a portrait, is very easy to use, with the wireless trigger you can have full control of the light. The light is heavy that needs a strong stand.

This light is a game changer, why? 1.Wireless Control with the Sidus App. 2.High Quality Color Rendering 3.Price Point 4.Build Quality 5.Ecosystem with Bowens Mount compatible accessories 6.The travel case is well built and amazing. 7.Lighting Effects with upgrade-ability included. No much more to say! You will not be disappointed! B&H is also a great supplier with fast shipping.

Provides truly wireless control over speed lights.

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
