Where would you install a Wi-Fi light switch?

The included instructions are less than adequate and your video helped walk me through perfectly. This was a great help!

PERFECT. I'm definitely not an electrician and this step by step tutorial assisted me in installing my KASA Dimmer Switch.

Thanks for the tutorial. As a result, my kasa switch installation proceeded very smoothly!

Thank you so much. I hooked it up to my inside switch that runs my outdoor Christmas lights. No more remembering to go down the stairs before bed. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄 I was really surprised because we built our house in ‘92 and the electrician actually had neutral wires added.

Thank you for a very detailed explanation of the install. It makes sense now, can’t wait to get home and install mine.

You earned a big fat sub and like for not burning my house down

Glad this video is here, despite the issues I had with stuffing the wires into the hole this was exactly what I needed for the install.

Excellent work explaining and demonstrating. I was anxious but found your instructions and tips made it easy. Thank you.

Great video! Thank you for the walkthrough and thoroughness. It gave me confidence and I was able to install successfully!

This is the most informative video I have watched so far. I immediately subscribed, thank you! Looking forward to your other videos (hoping you have one for replacing a ceiling light)

Great video, well done. Setup was easy and made me excited to do more!

Just what I was looking for. I have my outdoor string lights on a kasa smartvplug and it works flawless. Now I want to dov the same with my outdoor entrance lights.

Everything works, except the smart switch is too big to fit completely in the wall socket/box! Seems like I'm not the only one with this problem

One note that drove me crazy. I installed a smart switch to control my front porch and the switch was one in a gang of three. When I pulled the existing switches all the white neutrals were tied together as expected. I pulled one the neutral wires and attached it to the new switch. The light blinked on/of every second but would not connect to Wifi. Then I tried another neutral wire and it seemed to work however the next day nothing worked. ONLY when I left all the neutrals tied together and tied the white neutral switch wire into the neutral bundle did everything work as advertised.

Remember a wifi switch is ONLY as good as your wifi signal? Put the switch to far from your wifi router you WILL have problems Thanks for the great video

Great video. Very clear on what you need to do and how to get it done. Going to try this out for myself and switch out all my regular switches. Do you know what to do with a light switch that has 3 switches in 1?

so do you have the new 2023 versions? they are wire tail now. no markings for line and load on the switch wires

When you have several switches in the box where you are installing the dimmer switch, and 2 sets of bundled white wires, how do you know which bundle to wire the dimmer's neutral switch to?

Super helpful to me, I was having problems with neuture terminal connection, thank to you, solved it

I put one of these in today it was my first time trying to do this . At first it was a little tricky for me with the wires but I got a green light and hooked up to my Wifi the only thing is now the light ( flood lights ) will not come on . I am wondering did I do something wrong ? I did black to black neutral to neutral and got a green light but lights still won’t come on . Any suggestions ? Thank you 😊

Heyy I have only 3 cables ( white black, ground), simple pole ,how can I connect this?

What light bulbs are compatible with this? Can you use any bulb or does it have to be smart as well?

Question: my switches don’t connect to outlets that I want to have lights connected. If I replace toggle switches with Kasa switches and plug smart plugs in outlets where lights are, will the switches then allow me to connect? If so, do I have to connect all the wires to switch?

Great step by step video.

How do I go about the install if I have 3 black wires on the current switch?

I dont like directly connecting to Wifi. Are there any HUB that support these switches?

Twist your wire connections! We have so many service calls that have loose connections when you don't have a good mechanical connection

Can this be voice controlled through Alexa and can you tell through Alexa to turn it on 25%? Thank you for your excellent tutorial.

You did good. However I see this will not fix my issue in that I want to install 5 sconce lights plugged directly in the out lets in the wall. What would you recommend? And still be able to have a switch like this to control them all? Thanks

I also have a red wire (3 way control), what should I do?

Have you noticed that if you set the default brightness very low like say 1% when you turn on the switch it takes several seconds for the light or lights to lit up? Even with the setting of fade on(instant)? If I set the default brightness at 50% or higher then they lit up immediately after pressing the switch. This happens regardless of pressing the switch on the wall or using the app. I have several of the Kasa switches(HS220s and KS220s) and they all behave like this so I think it is normal, but seems strange.

I don’t have neutral on mine only ground, load and line. How can I install it without the neutrals?

Thank you! You helped me get this working.

Great video. QQ: My house is from the 30's and there is some older electrical wiring. I was going to replace the dimmer in my dining room with this but there isn't a neutral wire, just two black wires to work with. Any ideas?

How many bulbs can this control ?

can be paired with a hue light? phillips

What to do with a red wire coming from the outlet?

Hi I have two black wires and a red wire and white. Can I still wire this? Or need a different switch? Thanks for your time!

Hi, great video...I am novice at electrical work, I have load, neutral, and hot,, but don't have ground wire. But it will work without ground wire?any advice??

Quick question...where did you buy your swtich box, please? What I have doesn't match the size of my light switch

Super helpful. Very well explained.

What do you do if wifi lights are not blinking. What do you do

You are a life saver

hi, is there an external mounting box installation? or junction box.?

Please allow me a moment to be a child. I legit laughed at 5:55 when he said "I always like to pull on the nut".

Liked and subscribed! Thank you!!

Hi, i have 5 of these at my home but I tried installing this one in my office at church and the light was dim and didn’t get bright. Any reason you think this happen?? Thank you.

Does this process change if you have for example a four gang light switch? Also where can I get a four gang rocker rocker plate that is compatible with the KASA smart switch

Hello if I have more lines than you have and the ones that come to the switch are red and black how I do it

Hello thank you so much for this video! My question is this what happens if the load in the line gets switched my contractor put it in went home and now it’s just blinking the light that is, is blinking on and off and the TP Link smart dimmer is in pairing mode or Wi-Fi set up mode but it won’t let me connect my phone to the TV links wireless code and then it asked for a pass word that I don’t know

I dont have a line and load, i just have white black and ground wires. Will this work still?

i could not deattach the wall plate from the switch, it prevented me from screwing the switch to the wall. How did you resolve this problem?

Thanks for glossing over the hassle of getting the switch to actually connect to the software. I've been fighting with it all day.😩

Where can I find the link if I do not have the 3rd wire?

I have several TP Link outlets that I never had any trouble getting on them on Wi-Fi. Now when I install the kasa HS 220 I go through the process then go to my settings choose the Wi-Fi for tplink for a few seconds and then says it says no Internet connection. I've troubleshoot this for four hours now maybe you have a solution. Thanks

I don't have a circuit breaker, just a fuse panel with round screw fuses. Should I just unscrew the fuse to turn power off?

If WiFi goes out, does the switch start blinking or anything?

Where does the red wire go to within the outlet? I have all the other 3 and the red cord… please advise

Hello, don't know if its been asked, I read on the amazon reviews that some are having problems with multiple lights (not clear if with a 3 way configuration), I presently have 3 led dimmable down lights on a single manual dimmer. Will this switch work with my setup? Thanks

Could you do one by pulling power from an outlet to an led driver?

I do not see any stamps of approval for use in US

The wires attached to my light switch are black, green and blue (all J-hooked). On the inside, what I believe to be a wire nut (it looks different than in the video) houses a blue, red and black wire. Can anyone point me in the right direction on a type of switch and/or tutorial? Thank you!

Can you set it to fade on at a certain time? And is the length of time it take to fade on adjustable?

hi i want to know how many light bulbs can i atach to it, i d have to cover a long hallway, of about 20 lights

Great video. Thanks!

I cannot believe I can't find a video of this switch where someone actually activates the switch. Can this switch be used by pressing a button on the switch?

Is it working with Siri and homekit ?

Well explained man thanks a lot.

Well done video, thank you!

Is it possible to use a cover plate other than the one provided?

Can I group different switch’s together and turn the group on and off. Example, “exterior lights only” group?

I followed your instructions to a T and everything went well, and I know nothing about electrical

Mine have 3 black wire. Another 3 white and 3 ground wire. I hooked it up last night, the power is on, i was able to connect to wifi, light is on but the dimmer doesn’t work. I read alot of comments and peoples have same problem

Great Rundown!

Does it work with SmartThings?

I have four wires coming out of my electrical box. Two white and two black will this product work on my electrical box?

Does the Wi-Fi have to be 2.4 GHz or can it be 5 GHz? Thanks!

Is the Lutron the cheapest non neutral switch you could find? That’s from $17 right up to $99😊

Painter was getting in and out huh. Call him back and ask why did you paint my outlet wires????

What do you do if theres no neutral wire ?

Does it work for LED bulbs?

For some reason every night at the same time my switch turns off which is shutting off my ring cameras in the front yard. I have not been able to figure out what is causing it to happen. Do you have any ideas because it’s not clear what’s going on in the settings I have two more of these installed they don’t do it

Is it ok to NOT connect the neutral wire?

it works with 220v? Thanks!

Just put mine in Thanks to your video!!! Thank you for such a great video!

You didn't explain what kind of light bulbs you already had installed. Your original switch was not a dimmer so did you know your existing bulbs would support dimming? Are they incandescent or LED?

Does anyone know how you reset it to connect to the wifi again if it disconnects?

Thank you.

Will ot work on a celling fan?

what happens if neutral wire is not present?

anyone have a link to the 3 way dimmable switch??? or any details

Bro there is no nutual wire in my house switch

What kind of light bulbs do you use?

Its not a guess on which black is your hot… the hots are jointed together…. With a stinger coming off of the bundle to the switch (line side)… the load is the single black wire, which jumps up to the fixture

Installing the plate back on impossible

Hey man! When you "turn the switch off" manually, can you still just reactivate it via the APP? Or is power physically switched off to the light unit.

so you cant dim the lights from the switch, only the app?

Could a 13 teen year old do this

Screw that I'm not turning off the power
