Thanks for actually pushing the buttons, the other install videos don’t actually demonstrate what type of button is the physical on/off. Spoiler, it’s a physical movement to click on, but goes back to the same starting position when on or off.
Hey Mike, good point 👍🏼 will pin this comment so others know about the starting position. Thanks again!
I've been struggling with the set up. I'm not sure what i was doing wrong, but with your help, I finally got it working. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
Hi Maureen, that’s great to see. Glad the video helped! Thanks for your comment.
Great video bud, thanks for the detailed information. Im based in Australia and just ordered these.
Thanks man! Hope it works out good for you!
Nice and useful switch, nice installation
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for the video!!! How do I set the timer
Hi there. In the app, select ‘Timer’ along the bottom. You’ll see an area where you can set the ‘After’ time. Select a time, for example 30 minutes. Next, you’ll see an option where you can select the action. By default, it’s set to ‘On’. This means, after 30 minutes, the light will turn on. You can also select ‘Off’ to turn the light off after a certain period of time. It’s useful if you’re leaving the house and want to turn the lights off after a certain period of time. Hope that makes sense and answers the question. Please do let me know if you have any more questions!
Will regular faceplates fit it? Or does it have to be a kasa face plate
You’ll have to use the Kasa face plate. A flat switch (aka rocker paddle switch) faceplate may work.
Can I use this without Wi-Fi? I have a home without Wi-Fi but in the future plan on getting Wi-Fi
Yes, the switch can be used without wifi. It functions similar to a standard switch with manual on/off and turning the dimmer up and down. Hope that helps!
Were you able to take the plate off after installation? I didn't really tightened the switch that well, but now I'm having a hard time removing the plate so I can tighten it so that the plate doesn't have a gap with the wall
Hi Paul, yes I was able to remove the plate after install (to readjust). If the screw is just spinning, try using a flat head screw driver to wedge the wall plate as you unscrew…it might need that pressure to catch the threads.
can it control ceiling fan too?
Hi Zay Vick. If the ceiling fan is controlled by the switch wiring, than yes it can be controlled with this switch. Keep in mind, this switch cannot adjust fan specific controls like fan speed.
How low can you dim the light before turning it off
It goes down to the dimmest point capable on the bulbs. It’s a very faint light emitted from the bulbs I use. I’d compare it to that of a night light. Hope that helps!
Do you know if the KASA app have a preset scenes option? like low light for dinner
Hey good question. The Kasa app has 4 customizable presets for this specific switch. You can adjust the percentage of light output for each preset (max of 100% brightness and min of 1% brightness). So if you wanted 30% for dinner mode, you can adjust any one of the presets for that brightness. Then you can have it set to turn on at a certain time with that preset or just initiate the preset through the app. Hope that helps!
@adventuresandstuff thank you so much. Great content and explanation
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I've attached everything., turned on the fuse.. All the lights are flashing. Would you know what the issue is.. Thank you
Hi 👋🏼 when you say ‘all the lights are flashing’, do you mean the lights on the switch itself or the light fixture?
@@adventuresandstuff all the lights in my cieling light fixture. I though it may be a poor connection with my wires, re connected everything to no avail.
@@loupakisathleticcenter9667 that was going to be next question (if there was a loose wire). Did you have a dimmer switch controlling those lights prior to installing this Kasa dimmer switch?
@@adventuresandstuff yes, I had non smart dimmer before
@@loupakisathleticcenter9667 I’ve had a similar issue in the past (not with this dimmer). After checking all the wiring, I replaced the bulbs with a different set of dimmable bulbs, and the flickering stopped. That might be the best next step for you to try out. Hoping it works out!
can this switch/app turn the lights on at 100% at dusk, then 50% at 10PM till dawn and turn off??
Great question 👍🏼 yes, you can set up multiple schedules for a single device. So, one schedule to turn on at 100% at dusk; a second schedule for 50% at 10pm till dawn; and a third schedule to turn off the lights completely. Hope that helps!
@@adventuresandstuff thanks for your help! Much appreciated! I assume this would work with a grouping of lights in the app?
No problem at all. Yes, the app is able to control multiple Kasa devices and you can set individual schedules for each device or you can create a group with multiple devices and control them simultaneously. Let me know if you need more info.
@@adventuresandstuff thanks again!! Just ordered one
Nice 👍🏼
