Take note of undocumented, specific requirements
I have purchased and installed multiple Kasa smart switches (3 way and single switches). This is the first smart Kasa dimmer switch I have purchased. Per the product specifications, this switch will only work with dimmable LED bulbs. Additionally, there can only be one bulb on the line - this product will NOT support multiple bulbs (in my case, 3 recessed LED lights on one switch) even if the load is below 150watts and they are all dimmable. This specification is not noted anywhere on their product page, but in speaking with support in an attempt to get this to work (after buying specific bulbs at their request), they provided this comment:
"I see, my apologies. As I re-consulted. HS220 is recommended for 1 single dimmable bulb only."
TPLink would not replace the item as they don't see it as defective. I was able to get the lights to turn on\off, but they would not dim.
