I think it good for people that have never installed a smart 3 way switch that you can install just the main 3 way without installing the satellite switch and in most cases without issue. Main works as a smart switch in the system and the satellite still works as usual.
Tp link kasa is my favorite home-automation brand ... Mi "casa" Su casa... That's where they got the name kasa "home".. I have to try and be the grammar police on the internet haha.. Awesome video as usual and fantastic revies. I have that dimmer!!
Good question. They had me download an exe file that found the switch on my wifi and then I was able to push the update to it with the software. It was pretty simple, would be nice if the software was public. If you have a location where the bulbs don't dim there is a standard 3-Way Kit: amzn.to/36es9it (affiliate)
do you guys know of other 3 way smart dimmers that are good? I had some bad experiences w/ some of kasa's switches and disconnections in my previous house. I am cursed with my new house having a lot of 3 way switches. Prior owners decided every light should be able to be turned on/off from every part of the house :(
Hi Tech With Brett, we are manufacturer, our artificial blue skylight can produce the natural sunshine. We called it Artificial Sunlight Simulation Skylight. It allows you to set up the Light to replicate the gradually changing colors of the day so the sensation of daylight can be reproduced in settings where natural light is lacking.
Hey Brett 😁. How are you doing 😊. I wanna know is there a smart lock for home with a voltage security, in case of thief or something like that 🤠. And have a nice day ☺️
Hi Brett another good video. I see you took your brilliant control switch off for the demo. I have to say Brilliant controls and smart switches are awesome. Work with Alexa-homekit and Google.. Sonos control and all switches are dimmable and all have motion detection built in. Also you can set any smart switch when double tapped to control about switch or scene. I know they are on the expensive side but I candy say enough good things about them. Very easy to set up. They can also control fans as well.
Yeah I have really liked the Brilliant control panel. I was trying something new for this part of the home and still need to find a good location to add the brilliant control to.
Mine has been working flawlessly. I have one upstairs and one down stairs. Then I have 20 smart switches. You should do a review on the switches and how they work and what they cab do.
I do prefer the rocking style that these have with the satisfying click. If these were HomeKit compatible they might be the top recommendation. While the Lutron switch face is functional, it has taken some time to get used to, but overall I really like the Lutron system.
@@supremancy I did and exchange on Amazon, bought it with Prime. After installing the new switch it worked fine. I never got a clear answer from them what to do, or what the problem was. Was it my lack of understanding, or their lack of explanation, guess we'll never know? I have a feeling it has been cleared up since, being that the replacement worked right away.
Hi, Brett good evening hope all is well! great videos! question it states that these TP Link 3-way switches do not come with a neutral wire, does this mean we would need to buy the neutral wire at a local electrical shop?
Hi Brett, Good afternoon and thank you for the response, is there a way to contact you directly through Facebook messenger or facetime if i have other tech questions?
Brett, Can you adjust the brightness prior to turning on like with the Kasa HS220? I still like Lutrons approach to 3 ways better, 1 switch + pico remotes. However I find it unacceptable that the Casettas will not remember and return to previous brightness. That is the only reason I went with Kasa over Lutron for single pole switches in my home.
Lutron is only smart dimmer I have found for 4 way locations. I have one 4 way and 2 3-ways, so stayed with lutron for those. Rest of switches are kasa, really like the switch operation, one big button.
@@TechWithBrett in the Google home app, the thermostats will say error state but when I go to the thermostat itself it's still connected to wifi. The only way to fix it is to restart the thermostat itself. I've tried restarting my router and factory resetting the thermostats but I still have the same issue. Any ideas?
Hey Brett , I did all the steps as you show . Everything works good with the main switch and the app , My problem is the satellite doesn’t do anything . Do you have an advise ? Thx !
I installed Kasa smart dimmers in 3 different places in the house and two of them have broken within 2 months. They are just more cheap junk designed to have a short lifetime.
This actually the first time I have heard of a Kasa switch breaking. Is the actual switch broken or just not operating? I would use the rest button at the bottom of the switch or turn of the power at the breaker to reset them and see if that helps.

Does it work with LED light, i've seen it may only be for incandescent
Yes, the specs are Max Load: 150W LED, 300 W Incandescent. Also be sure your lights are dimmable.

I love this switch 👍 great review
Thanks Paul!

I always wondered and that makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Do I need to use the satellite switch? Or can I just keep my old 3 way installed
Can you use these in a 4-way situation?
Could you briefly describe how you used a computer to update the faulty firmware? Also, does this work well with non-dimmable lights?
Good question. They had me download an exe file that found the switch on my wifi and then I was able to push the update to it with the software. It was pretty simple, would be nice if the software was public.

awesome demo!! Thanks
Curious if you can add action like double tap to close all lights everywhere in the house, of those actions needs a hub?
Can i use the satellite if i already got a smart switch
How you determinate what is the main switch and the satellite switch? I can put them any place in the house?

Nice info and great review as always.👍
Can you install the satellite switch on another location?
hi which home assistance are you using now and which one you recommend to stay with?
Are there any 3 gang 3way dimmable smart switches?

hello, is there a european version of this product, if so where can i find it?
Do you prefer these over Lutron?
I do prefer the rocking style that these have with the satisfying click. If these were HomeKit compatible they might be the top recommendation. While the Lutron switch face is functional, it has taken some time to get used to, but overall I really like the Lutron system.
Is it s firmware update on the device itself or a software update to the app? I'm having the same problem.
Ditto, I contacted support and am waiting to hear back.

Could you do an EMO robot unboxing and set up, and review?
Was wondering if anyone tried to use the KS230 with Home Assistant...
Z Wave compatible?
Hi, Brett good evening hope all is well! great videos! question it states that these TP Link 3-way switches do not come with a neutral wire, does this mean we would need to buy the neutral wire at a local electrical shop?
It does have a Neutral on the back that can be added into a Neutral bundle. You shouldn't need to buy anything extra.
Hi Brett, Good afternoon and thank you for the response, is there a way to contact you directly through Facebook messenger or facetime if i have other tech questions?
Wow, this might work for me, as I tried a typical 3 way smart switch and did not work for me, is this new?
It came out a few months ago.
I’m having the same issue with the red blinking wifi light where I can send them a message?
Oh no! Download to Windows PC and there should be a guide with the zip file on how to update. geni.us/Kasa3wayupdate

Yes you can adjust the brightness and then turn the light on. I have a combo of both devices and it is kind of nice to have both.
@@TechWithBrett Thanks

Early i love ur videos i bought the google nest mini i think once i was 1st to comment
Great review, but the setup for this product takes much longer than other smart dimmers.
Hi tech with Brett 😍👍👍👍
Good morning!
Hey Brett, I'm having an issue with my Nest Thermostats and my home network. You got a minute?
What's up?
@@TechWithBrett in the Google home app, the thermostats will say error state but when I go to the thermostat itself it's still connected to wifi.

Can you connect Kasa to Siri
You cannot.
@@TechWithBrett You tried it once
Hi brett
👋
Hey Brett ,
I did all the steps as you show .
Everything works good with the main switch and the app ,
My problem is the satellite doesn’t do anything .
Do you have an advise ?
Thx !
I'm wondering if you need to do the firmware update that was available for me.
In Australia it you have to have an electrician do this because it is illegal to do it your self
Interesting, I would recommend not doing them.
Wow, feel sorry for the Aussies with that kind of state control! or union control!
My lights have 3 switches lol

I just want good switches for renters :/
Lol after watchin this video, I aint going to buy KASA light switches...
