Thanks to Mike for helping solve the problem I was having with the HS200 switch. Unfortunately, I can't use that switch with power-through wiring. :( See: http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?99535-Strange-behavior-after-connecting-the-HS200-switch

That means that I must go back to using the HS110. The problem was that my wife HATES it because it is too much trouble to open an app to turn on/off a light.

It might be acceptable if she could just ask Siri to turn on the light but currently, Kasa isn't supported by Siri! Why TP-LINK, why not? I am aware of the open-source project Homebridge and I'll eventually get into that project but I feel that I allowed to be annoyed with TP-LINK for this lack of support. Grrrr.

Any quicker solutions available before I invest in a Rasberry PI project?

Thank you

HS100 can support Amazon Eco and Google Home. You can consider to buy one of them.
I heard that apple won't allow any other manufacturers to use apple home. So I think it is not the TP-LINK issue.

That is incorrect. Since iOS 10, Apple introduced SiriKit to allow 3rd party products to be controlled by Siri.

You are correct, but just 6 kinds of services, not all of them. Kasa will support Apple Home sooner or later.
