Thank you! Your video helped me with my install!

[@take_two_vlogs]

Great to hear!

[@daweiliu8568]

Their switch is much larger than others on the market, can you recommend a double cover for Kasa switch?

[@take_two_vlogs]

Kasa does not send a double gang switch face plate but you can get snap on 2 gang face plates from Home Depot or Amazon.

[@rmjohnson144]

do you have a video of installing switch with the phone app, so my Alexa will turn lights on/off?

[@take_two_vlogs]

Apologies, don't have a video. But once you have installed the switches and configured in Kasa app with your home wi-fi. You can open the Alexa app and in the skills and game option, search for Kasa and enable the skill. Once you have enabled, click on the add device in the Alexa app and it will automatically detect the device. All the Best!!

I wouldn't say I like to connect to wifi directly. Is there any HUB or bridge that supports these switches?

[@take_two_vlogs]

Unfortunately the Kasa switches are wi-fi only switches. There are other smart switches that can be connected to the hub. Any particular reason you don't want to connect to the wi-fi?

The design and price are the first things I like about Kasa dimming switches.
I am considering changing my entire house's switches (15-20) and want to run smoother and more consistently.
Connecting all these devices to wifi will clog my wifi, and every time I change my password, I have to reset every switch and connect again. Also, I like to keep them local rather than on the cloud.
I wish there's a similar hard wire switch that looks like a traditional switch that works with HUE hub.

Can i use same switch for a 3 way connection

[@take_two_vlogs]

No, the one I used is only a single pole switch. You will need to buy a 3 way switch

[@bk9net]

The video didn't show the hardest part: putting the Kasa plate on, which is problematic.

[@take_two_vlogs]

Its pretty straightforward. Since this was a 3 gang box, the face plate and the inner plate which came with the switch didn't work, I bought a snap on cover plate from Home Depot.
