Wow, thanks!
Extremely clear and helpful. Thank you. This is the only video I’ve seen that’s given me the confidence to finally do it. Appreciate this.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Just A Dad! Watching your clear and detailed video saved me a ton of time. I was able to r/r with the HS220 in less than 10 mins. Then paired with wifi via Kasa app. It was a fun trouble free experience. Thank you for posting this.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the kind word!!!
Thanks man, this video helped a lot. I just bought 3 of these from Amazon yesterday and I was completely lost trying to install them.
Glad I could help
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot with identifying the correct wires! Installation was easy after watching the video, just took a bit of time. I also watched the installation video from TP, they mentioned that u don't need to connect to the green/ground wire if u don't have one.
Yes, this is probably the most detailed video ive seen on how to connect this switches. Great job! Thanks for making this video. Keep making more.
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you. Great video, and it worked. I did it!
You're welcome! Good Job I am so proud of you. thanks for watching!!
Thank god for your video I watch another and he said it didn't matter which wire came from the load or went to the light so I was screwing around thinking it was a faulty device.
glad it helped
Thank you for your video.. that really helps!🙂
You're so welcome!
Saved me lots of time and money.. just took a while figuring out which black wire was coming from the switch and breaker. Is absolutely necessary that they are correct?
Hi thanks for the wonderful tutorial! Just quick question, do you know is Philips recessed led light (eyeball) compatible to HS220? I installed but it doesn’t seem to dim, neither manual with dim button or apps. Thanks!
Hey buddy, you saved my a$$ :) a big thank you from Montreal and I owe you a cold one if ever you made it to here :) thank you once again
Your welcome thanks for watching
Help. I have a neutral wire.. But there are only a black and a red wire in the box (which were hooked to my old light switch) I can see that they go on the red and black screws.. But Where then does this green wire fron new switch go??
Excellent video. Fast and efficient.
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought a set of 3 of these, and they didn't come with any wire nuts. :-( Thanks for this video. I was trying to figure out where my 4th wire was.
Thank you, very helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome!
Great video...very useful
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for you kind words and watching!!!
Great video 👍
Best video 👍 explained very well thank u
You are very welcome!
Great video
Thanks! Thanks so much for your kind words!!!
What if you don't have that neutral cable. 🤔 I have a light switch load, line, ground.. that's it.
Is there any light coming from the Switch when it is off? Important consideration for a bedroom. Thanks.
How do i install this on a plate with four switches? This one would be the second switch. It looks like there are wires connected from switch one to switch two.
when pulled out, is it true all switches have the circuit breaker wire on the bottom?
Thank you! I put in a Wemo several years ago but forgot how I did it. Btw, don't get the Wemo... I have to flip the breaker regularly because it stops responding, won't turn off or on and won't reset. Then we have to fix the clocks and settings on everything that got turned off when I flipped the breaker. Irritating!
Good to know!
Curious as mine came with two switches with one having the neutral but one doesn't why would that be?
great video... what is the model of that nut twister you used?

I heard you say, whersher (washer). Yinz from Pittsburgh? Thanks for the video...very helpful.
I get that alot, but I have lived in central Illinois small town all my life, I really say it alot, sorry
what kind of recessed lights are those? I’m thinking about buying led recessed lighting but I don’t want them to buzz with the dimmer.
I got them from Amazon, there are a bunch that look like these. They are really flat LEDs and they have an external box that powers the light. There is a small cord that runs to the light from the box, and you put your house wiring inside the box. I love them and they look really good put off lots of light. This is a link but it says they are unavailable right now but you can see what they look like and maybe get some that look the same. Thanks for Watching!!

If I don’t have a voltage meter, can I “guess” which one is the load wire and which one is the line wire? Will it just not work if you get it wrong then you can just switch them. Or will it blow up or something if I guess wrong?
no I would not guess
Hello, Thank you for the awesome video. I have a question - I just finished installation and my light turns on as expected but when i run a voltage detector right on top of the switch, it turns red!! Is it expected or did i screw something up??
not really sure. the unit does draw a little current through it to power the wifi so it might be that but just not really sure.
Were you able to use one switch to control more than one light? Only reason I ask is you read the Amazon reviews and people say the HS220 will only dim one bulb.
Mine dims about 6 can lights, it works great. they are led can lights
All I have coming out of the switch site is one black wire and one white wire. Am I screwed? Is there a workaround?
I don't think there is a work around. the white wire you have it probably going to the light as a hot wire when you turn on the switch. You have to have a Neutral that runs all the way back to your panel. You can find a neutral (white wire) in a plug. you could extend it up to your switch. Unfortunately when there is only one black and one white wire in your box you can not use this. You have to find a neutral in a box somewhere close and extend it up the switch.
what about a combination switch , can i use one Kasa for both switches ?
Thanks for watching. This is a single pole switch and not a 3 way switch. It can only be used in places that have one switch that is controlling the light. You might be thinking of a 3 way switch that is used when you want 2 switches located in different places to control the same light. Kasa sells a smart 3 way switch on amazon at this link amzn.to/326lYry

good morning
I do not like to connect to wifi directly. Are there any HUB or bridge that support these switches?
You put the wire on wrong side of the screws, always put on side of screw so when your tightening screws the wire gets pulled around screw
Mine appeared to have the wall plate already fixed on the switch itself. In your video it looks like yours is off. Any trick to separating the two so you can screw in the switch?
I didn't want to pry and break the plastic...
it can be a bit tricky,
wait but alexa can't use the dimmer can it? Like do you have to set up a routine or something?
Would it work if I don’t have the neutral wires?
No you have to have a neutral wire at the switch
Probably a stupid question - are all such LED recessed lights dimmable?
No question is stupid, Thanks for Watching, Not all led Recessed lights are dimmable, You have to make sure they say dimmable on them.
If I turn the light off on full bright is there a way I can turn it back on on dim?
in the Kasa App when you select your dimmer there is a menu device settings. you can choose what happens when you long press the switch or double tap the switch. you can select one of these to dim the light when you do it. Page 8 of your user manual for the switch.
How do you know which is the line verses the load?
When you put the breaker back in, it will have power on it. make sure you are clear and the wires don't touch anything. and you can check it with a voltage tester.
You didn't mention that there is a SLOT OPENING on the bottom part of the wall plate. That has to be placed facing the BOTTOM . Just a FYI.
sorry about that, I think I installed mine upside down.
Those detectors lie to you like when you flipped the switch. To be sure get a cheap voltmeter. Cost probably cheaper than those detectors.
Good tip!! thanks for sharing
and If in the box, there is no Neutral wires???
then you can not use it, you will have to find a neutral wire close by and run one to the box
No idea what’s going on. None of these are in my light box
Sooo what if you’ve only got one hot, neutral and ground?
You need the Natural to be a neutral. they probably used it as a hot wire that goes up to light.
I have six TP-link plugs and four smart wall switches ...four of the plugs and ALL of the wall switches will not stay connected to wifi ...what a waste of money on my part !
Wow, I have had that much of a problem. Once in awhile the switch will not respond when I ask Alexa to turn lights on or off.
@@JustADad i am slowly replacing all my tp-link products with Wemo equipment...tp-link customer service is non-existant.
@@northlander4370 wow, thanks for the update on customer service. I will have to do a comparison video with Wemo Switches.
@@JustADad i will look forward to the vid...
Beware of TP-Link products. If the product fails within the warranty period you will be required to pay for shipping the defective item to them before they will send a replacement.
Thanks for the update!! and Sharing!!
@@JustADad You're welcome. The requirement to pay for shipping the defective product does not sit well with me. When I checked to see if other people were as bothered by this practice as much as I was, I came across one instance where the individual had purchased a three pack of Kasa smart light switches and one failed. In addition to having to pay for shipping the defective product to them, TP-Link requested that he uninstall the other two switches and ship them along with the one not working. Because of the price point and convenience I switched from Shelly and Sonoff to TP-Link and installed a few of their smart devices in my house. Suffice to say that the TP-Link brand is no long a consideration for me. I hope others will think twice about whether they want to contend with the unreasonable way that TP-Link chooses to back up their product and warranty.
@@61JWolf Is there a switch you recommend?
