Wow my speakers aren't even turned up that loud and her live demo turned both my bedroom and living room lights on!
I have two black live wires on my Kasa switch but only one black live wire in my wall. What should I do with the extra black wire from the Kasa switch? It's 3 wires in total that comes from my wall (the copper ground wire, a single black wire, and a single white wire,) I do not have a bunch of wires bundled up in my wall. I only have the 3 wires in the wall, black, copper, and white. But 4 wires on the Kasa switch 2 black live wires, 1 green for copper, and 1 white for neutral. When I tried connecting both live wires from the Kasa switch, to the one single black wire coming from the wall, it does not work. My light comes on very dim and it's NOT a dimming light. And, the Kasa switch makes a clicking sound that won't stop when I try to reset it. The same thing happens when I leave the extra black wire hanging from the Kasa switch. Do I tie connect the extra black live wire from the Kasa switch to another wire from the wall like, to the ground or, the white wire? Or, maybe the black and white wires in the wall are both live wires and I don't have a neutral 🤔. I hope that ain't the case. Please help me.
Finally, this is a fix for the Leviton as well!
I changed routers. The old router setup took about 4 hours for two switches because the app is full of holes. Then I made the mistake of changing routers. I'm now at the 3 hour mark and still "press the reset button and make sure your phone is connected to the router". Duh for the 50th time. Still cannot get it connected to the new router. This is for either of the 200-2 switches.
Any update on if this is coming to other markets? In the UK and I can't seem to get hold of one, would be perfect to finish off the setup
I tried to install one at in laws house, but found they disconnected Internet while they're away for the winter.
Can a "Hotspot" be used to make it work in the mean time?
And exactly how is that done on Android Samsung phone?
just followed this tutorial to set up my first light switch! it was very helpful :)
Brute force to remove face plate? you should how to snap it on, but is there a trick to take it off without breaking it?
Michael Bennett agree. I was nervous about breaking it. I ended up using force and was glad it did not break.
I used a flat head screw driver as a wedge to pry off the cover. It made a worrying snapping sound but nothing broke
This is the only reason i looked this up. How do you get the cover off. Forcing it off seems to be how its designed, they should include that in the directions.
Glad you guys wrote these comments.
Ok. I just took it off. Flat screwdriver under the top and then bottom clips. Pry it up gently but hard....if that makes sense.
Thanks for the video!!! Really did the trick for me, and now my light switch Is up and working. I also paired It with Amazon Alexa! Works like a charm!!! :)
The switch is a "toggle", you may need some time to adjust as we get used to on/off switch.
All of the switches I'd want to use these on are double switches. Does anyone know of a double faceplate that can work with either two of these switches. Or even a faceplate for one TP-link switch and one normal switch?
...apparently not!
In the video, there are red wires connected to the original switch, along with the black wires. But, the video does not connect those to the Kasa switch, rather they are tied off together separately. there is something wrong with that setup
I have no ground. What do I do with the ground wire then? You mentioned it can still be installed without a ground. How?
It keeps turning on at 11:55am even though it is not scheduled to turn on. I’ve had to schedule it to turn off at 11:56 am. How do I fix this? Thanks!
I have questions I can't seem to find the answer to:
-Can I use the HS200 to control other TP-Link smart devices, such as the HS100 and LB100? I'd to install a light switch that can turn on more lights in a room than what are currently wired to the switch, but I'd like to know if this is possible before purchasing.
-One of the switches I'm considering replacing is dimable. Will I still be able to dim my lights after installing the HS200?
Good questions . I am getting some switches and plugs delivered in the next few days so I can update if I am mistaken. My current expectation is that you can control the outlets the hs100s are running from with a switch, but be prepared for delays in operation as the plugs power on and hopefully reconnect to wifi. I am not planning on doing this except as a test. I am unsure what the benefit would be to having the switch and lb110s paired. It seems to add an unneeded hop in troubleshooting.
But to be clear, since your wording seems to suggest otherwise, the switch only controls power to what ever is on the physical circuit. The "controller" is the cloud account and smartphone. Each device is an independent device and has no knowledge of the other devices. So you need to use a smartphone or other device like an echo ( what I am using) or google home, to operate multiple devices with one command. I think :) .
No. The TP-Link device are independent to each other and controlled remotely only via a smart phone app or personal assistant like Amazon Echo. TP-Link devices have a hardware switch so you can operate them without any special technology, like if your WiFi was out of order.
Just buy one smart switch per light t control. If you get the TP_link Smart Plug it is possible to plug more than one free standing lamp into it. I've done this successfully.
excellent, I try chinese model, works well. congratulations for product.
I only have one black wire, one neutral and one ground wire coming out of my wall switch bracket. Can I still use this?
wouldnt it be nice if tplink actually responded to their customers..
also- is it possible to link 1 switch to multiple TP-link wifi lights or activate a scene when the switched is pressed? I want to control all the lights in my basement, which are tp-link smart bulbs, with one button.
my light switch box has both a green wire AND a copper wire. how do i know which is the ground wire?
It doesnt say on the box if it works with apple homekit so im assuming no.
However, im wondering if you use the switch with a smart bulb that is homekit compatible if that wouldnt work?
Also im wondering if tp-link will make it homekit compatible?!!!
This is such a great feature! Look forward to trying it out!
I have the same question as Tricia Maltese: I only have 3 wires coming from the wall, black, white, and ground (copper). The switch gets power and I can connect it to wifi, but it won't turn on my light! What can I do to make it work, before returning it? Thank you.
Mirko Tessandori I'm having the same issue. shame on the company for not pointing that out. x(
This device is made to work with a single pole switch. The two black wires are one coming in for power then one going out to the device to power it. If you only have black, white and a ground then it is not a single pole switch. If you only have the three wires then that means that you have multiple switches on the circuit and this device was not made for that.
If someone doesn't know the difference between a neutral white and a hot white then they have absolutely no business trying to do any electrical work of any kind.
Hey John. is there a way to change the wiring? If the switch is at the end of a series, meaning, the wire goes to the light before it ends at the switch? Like can I disconnect from the light, pull it down to the switch first then rewire it making it end at the light?? And did that make any sense lol sorry
These wiring instructions could lead to a dangerous situation. There could be current from other circuits flowing through the neutral connection. When you remove the wire nut on the neutral wire, the wires may come apart. At this point one or more of the wires can give you a deadly shock.
Most modern electric codes are written to eliminate this danger, there should be no "shared neutrals", but there are millions of existing
houses out there with neutrals shared between multiple circuits.
I noticed they said " have a voltage tester" but never really said when you should actually check to see if you have live wires. I assume, every time you go to touch it. Would that mitigate the issue? ( I sure hope so, since my 120 yo home has what is generally called " a f##king mess")
If your internet stops working (for whatever reason), will the smart switch still work like a normal light switch?
Yes
Can single hs200 be used to on/off 2 or more lights.
is the smart switch supposed to make a click noise when you turn it off/on remotely? I have 8 tp-link dimmer switches, none of them make that noise. This noise is freaking me out.
What a lovely presenter. Thank you for the info!
If I lose my internet connection, can I operate the switch like a regular light switch?
Ya
Where I can buy HS200 for electricity voltage in Thailand is 220V?
You need to give some instruction on removing the faceplate!
I just installed mine. Just hold the inner switch section steady as you apply pressure to the inside outer edge of the cover plate, you will see the clips spread open and then it just pops off.
I used a flat head screw driver as a wedge to pry off the cover. It made a worrying snapping sound but nothing broke
@@ImAdapt73 just installed this switch, what do you mean by inside outer edge?
@@stanlemko9730 Ok. I just took it off. Flat screwdriver under the top and then bottom clips. Pry it up gently but hard....if that makes sense.
@@rickb4806 Thanks, appreciate your feedback. I got it off using a small putty knife so afraid it would break. Looks like a regular cover would work if it did break. After a lot of searching I did find an answer on the Kasa site, the site is not easy to navigate and also talked to a rep and he was clueless.
does it support 220V?
Reading Craze did you got the answer of your question? Is there any way to install it on 220v?
this is a good video but this switch does not work with a bank of motion lights
Confusing instruction. I would much prefer some graphic diagrams showing the process not the lady reading off a script for a how to.
BLATANTLY reading off a script. She has no idea what she's talking about
Mine just straight up isn’t working, I’ve connected the wires all correctly, and the led on the switch never turns on
Is the use of Alexa mandatory, or can I control it only from the application? Can I control from outside the house through the internet?
John Jairo Gamba Rincon You do not need Alexa to control the lights, unless you want voice control. The Kasa App will allow you to turn the lights on and off manually. You can turn the lights on and off from the app outside the house as well.
i have 2 switches in 1 place controlling 2 lights - how do i use this switch in there place? do i install 2 of these or just1 is enough for both the lights?
You’ll have to buy a different model. You’ll need the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi 3-way kit #HS210. It comes with two switches.
@@chasefam3 by any chance do you know if these will work in UK?
I do not know. I’m sorry.
@@chasefam3 thanks for your help :-)
So… no neutral wire means, return the product
Will this Switch work with led’s?
Will it work in the UK
Wired it up, set it up with the app, the light turns on, and then it turns off
I'm having the same issue. it flashes on and off. did you ever find a solution?
Did you guys ever find the solution I juts I stalked mine and iam
Having th same problem
Turns on and immediately turns off
Is it compatible with dimmer?
The ap is not as shown in this video. It's changed a LOT.
How to control a second switch
What about connecting to the router? You don't show that part..
What was this video about again?
How to remove the face plate?
Just hold the inner switch section steady as you apply pressure to the inside outer edge of the cover plate, you will see the clips spread open and then it just pops off.
Yea I figured it out - just thought TP-Link should provide some instruction - it's a bit of a challenge to remove the cover plate. Once installed, the switch works very well though! Alexa is great.
I have only 3 wires coming out of my wall 1 black 1 white and 1 green? Now what???
Take it back to the store and get a CAsetta Wireless Dimmer, it doesn't need a neutral wire.
Jean-Pierre White is the one white he has not the neutral?
surprised that you could not show a bit more pleasant switch location vs the 200 years old home you showed.
You're beautiful. Thank you for this incredible how-to, TPLink. This covered all that is needed.
Can you dim lights with the hs200?
No
You can buy a different model that has a dimmer
what's the neutral wire for?
Completes the circuit. Blk to Blk, Wht to Wht. Green to Green or to box grounding screw.
for use in Switzerland
doesn't work with florecent lights. They turn on real quick and off. returning and getting different brand. I've seen also that they are not really rated for 15Amp and can cause fire hazards so be careful!
Second confirmation that it does NOT work on fluorescent lights. I was able to successfully connect and toggle my Kasa Light Switch from my smart phone but my fluorescent lights never turned on.
Other details: Old house with only Two wires on my light panel; Live and Neutral.
What Electrician wired that house?!? Lots of insulation stripped off the wires!!! 😬
does it work with siri?
Basil Ahmad Top TNT just
Basil Ahmad have you found out yet?
It doesnt say so on the box and it doesnt say works with apple homekit so im assuming no.
However, im wondering if you use the switch with a smart bulb that is homekit compatible if that wouldnt work?
Also im wondering if to-link will make it homekit compatible?!!!
Does TP-Link seriously not have a switch that works for people with no neutral?
Bad form saying alexa commands! If people are watching the learn how to pair with their echo saying alexa 17 times is silly..
So I thought this was helpful until I tried to install it myself... I totally got lost when trying to figure out how to remove wires from my light switch. This video should have documented this.
Marry me TP-Link lady
It's terrible. It loses connection non stop and is not stable at all.
OMG, she could bet the most beautiful lady I'v ever seen
Do you get people saying you are creepy a lot? Just a random question.
Oh yeah, complimenting a person on their looks is considered creepy. Do you get people saying you get triggered easily? lol
Useless info for resetting the device
Is she Vampire?
really ? would a vampire be involved with turning lights on ?
You said "Neutral Wire" a million times, I give up
If you have trouble with what a neutral wire is then please get an electrician for the install.
I'm I the only one annoyed about the fact that's she's not looking at the camera?
lol can you tell they hella doctored the video? Does she not know how to pronounce "Kasa", but they decided to just do a voice over it, and hella botched that? Haha
Your explanation is not clearest.
Unclear.
Who is she looking at?!?!? Why wouldn't you use a teleprompter in front of the camera to do this video. I'm returning the switches just because this video is so annoying to watch. Next time don't use an iPad, use a real teleprompter. Cheaping out on the video production makes me not have faith in your equipment.
I would ruin her makeup. Just sayin...
