Kasa Smart Light Switches work with Alexa and Google Home.
Also, the light switch allows you to do so many things!
The remote control feature is given and expected, but the scheduling and away modes are so, so useful. I come home at night, and my outdoor porch and backyard lights are lit, enhancing the curb appeal and keeping the thieves away.
The installation is not as simple as plug-and-go, but it was doable.
In order to install this, you need a neutral wire and a 2.4 GHz wifi connection.
The app was also a bit buggy and not as great as I'd expected; however, you only use the app to schedule the light switch, so you don't need to use it on a daily basis.
This one is not dimmable; however, Kasa also has light switches with a dimmer function.
I bought this to replace the switch for the outdoor landscaping lights, so I didn't need the dimmer.
Kasa's light switch has a solid construction, and its clean, sleek design goes well with my modern house.
This is what it looks like once it's installed.
I installed 2 switches, and they control my backyard lights and porch lights.
Also, the Kasa App allows you to set the on/off lights at your desired time, which is really great for controlling the lights remotely. Even when you're gone for a vacation, for instance, these lights will turn on and off at a set schedule, keeping the thieves at bay.
Lastly, it allows you to connect to your wifi directly without purchasing any other equipment or hub.
