I see that the S515 seems to be able to accommodate 4-way setups (3 switches controlling the same fixture). The S515D Kit seems to have two dimmer compatible switches (one main, one satellite). If I am attempting to replace a 4-way setup with 3 switches (for a dimmable fixture), what needs to be purchased? A S515D Kit as well as an individual S515 switch? The latter does not seem to have dimmer functionality, whereas the former does, so can individual S515D switches be purchased? Please advise.

Tapo S515D does not support a 4-way setup. And it cannot be installed with a traditional 3-way switch or a 3-way dimmer switch.

So...under what circumstances does the 4-way compatibility for the S515 that is advertised actually work?

One of the switch in the 4-way setup can be replaced with a Tapo S515. You may check the wiring guide in this article.

  @Wayne-TP What many people have been waiting for is an actual 4-way switch so that all switches in the circuit match cosmetically and not have a "dumb" switch in the path. I've got a Kasa 3-way at each end of my circuit and wish the intermediate switch could be replaced by a Kasa smart switch, but no such product exists yet.

  @Starbase101 agreed - this is 100% what the vast majority of people in these forums are looking for.

Hi, I have a doubt about the switch configuration. So let's say if I just want to replace both switch with S515, and i don't care about buying another one because i want both of my switches to look the same. Will that work? 

In the documentation, I only see tapo says you are supposed to replace only one with smart switch, but if I want to replace both, will it work? And how should i wire it?

Use two S515 in the 3-way connection? This is not supported.

  @Wayne-TP why only new light switches for US? 

EU customers need new switches, with detach relay function and proximity sensors too, maybe a dimmer too....

US based customer here...

 

I have multiple 3-way switches in my home.  I've been waiting on a Tapo solution since Tapo and Kasa aren't interchangable within their apps.  I have one significant question...

 

The wiriing diagrams seems to indicate that only one of the two switches can be replaced with the S515...the other must remain (in my case) the old flip switch.  I realize I can replace an old flip switch with a paddle switch, but since it won't match the Tapo look, why bother.

 

What I want to know is...can both of my flip switches in the 3-way circuit be replaced with the S515?  I see the S515D Kit, but I don't need...not do I want...dimming capability in some cases.

 

Thanks...
