I recently bought and installed a TP-Link Kasa Switch based on a recommendation. They’re a pretty simple switch, no real bells and whistles aside from the obvious “smart switch”, so I’m thinking of buying some more to replace where I’ve been using smart bulbs. The thing is, the one I’ve installed so far isn’t a light that sees a ton of use.

All I need them for is turning the lights on and off using Alexa/my phone/the switch itself, so I don’t need much more in terms of features (though if you’d recommend something specific, I’d be interested in hearing it). Speed Test Scrabble Word Finder Solitaire

So I’m wondering:

  1. Are these a good brand to invest in for the rest of my locations? Do you have them and, if so, has your experience been positive enough to recommend?

  2. Is there any reason I should look into a different, more feature-rich switch for what I’m looking for?

Hello,

 

what is the model number of your TP-link switch? 

 

Right now, the switch can be controlled by itself/kasa app/ alexa/ google. 

There is a physical power button/ switch, and it supports kasa app; besides, it is compatible with alexa and google assistant. 

 

Below are some instructions:

Besides, there are some advanced features, like schedule, scene and so on.

 

May it help.

 

Good day.
