Customers find the smart light switch works well with both Alexa and Google Home, is easy to set up with a user-friendly app, and offers good value for money. They appreciate its control features, with Alexa being able to turn on lights, and its fast response time. The connectivity and dimming function receive mixed feedback – while many say it connects easily to WiFi, some report difficulties, and while the dimming feature works flawlessly for some, others mention their lights don’t dim.

Easy Setup, Fun to Use, But Bulky in the Box
I picked up these switches on a lark, not sure if they’d even work — but I was pleasantly surprised. Setup with the app was so simple that I immediately started dreaming up ways to use them. Next thing you know, I’ve got cameras in the horse barn and I’m spying on the horses at night while they snooze. 🐴Functionally, no complaints: they do exactly what they should and are easy to manage. The only drawback is physical size. The switches themselves take up a lot of room in the junction box, and since all the connections require wire nuts (no push-in style connectors), it gets cramped quickly. A single box is fine, but in a 3–4 gang box, space would be really tight.Overall, they work great and add some unexpected fun to my setup — just be ready to wrestle with the wiring space.

Inexpensive WiFi dimmer that works great!
The Tapo dimmer connects easily to your WiFi and is controllable via an app. If you are into techy stuff you can download a program that runs under Linux (on a Raspberry Pi even) called ‘kasa’. The program will allow you to control the dimmer from the command line (turn on/off, set brightness, obtain status). In fact, if you want only local control without connection to the cloud, you can write a firewall rule in your router which will prevent the dimmer from “phoning home” (wherever that might be). Then you can be assured that you and only you can be in control of it.

Solid well made smart dimmer switch at a very fair price point
I have other products made by this company including all my security cameras. So, instead of downloading another app on my phone I stayed with TP-Link for a dimmer/light switch for my kitchen. The product is very straight forward and was very easy to install. It also comes with very good instructions. I have always liked TP-Links products and have several of their security cameras outside. This is the first light switch and I’m pretty sure the brand will continue to impress me. The price is fair for the product and now I am able to use the dimmer function to adjust the lighting either with the switch or from the app on my phone. Solid built sleak looking switch.

Clean, Paddle Switches with Great Connectivity, Reliability, Durability and Performance!
Tapo (the successor of Kasa) is one of my favorite affordable smart home brands for the wide range of appliances they offer to help you automate your home. They have a sensor or switch for just about every purpose, making them a great option for home security and surveillance as well! These paddle switches are super easy to wire in and set up with their app. The build quality has held up for me the past 3 years! These particular switches DO NOT DIM, but they DO have a Dimming option available in another product. They’ve always had excellent connectivity, so as long as you have a modern and powerful enough router for your home size & network device needs.I will mention, TP-Link is a Chinese company and has been known for poor security practices in some of their routers, as well as their smart devices pinging IP Addresses located in China for unknown reasons. Likely for analytics of your home network, along side their API, at best. That aside, I will continue to build my Tapo-Smart home, one device at a time!

great smart switch
Got this similar switch as a follow-up install, and it’s been solid so far. The setup was straightforward and everything works as expected. My only hesitation in giving it 5 stars is that I haven’t had it long enough to test its long-term reliability. But for now, it’s done exactly what I needed.

Tenía un proyecto en casa para instalar una pequeña lámpara y buscaba un apagador con dimmer para atenuar la luz. Buscando sin querer me topé con este que ofrece conexión a asistentes al precio que me iba a salir un apagador normal, al principio dudé pero decidí adquirirlo y mi sorpresa fue muy grata pues por el precio funciona muy bien.Como consideración la profundidad que debe tener la caja o chalupa donde va instalado debe ser de al menos 4.5 cm, tuve que buscar las especificaciones en internet y no hubo falla.

Para empezar se requiere cablear un neutro, la atenuación no es muy proporcional.Y lo peor si mantienes la atenuación en la mitad o menos, el control emite zumbido.
