I want to know if the Kasa KP-405 Dimmable WiFi plugin adapter is compatible with 12-volt lighting?

in other words, can the adapter dim 12-volt lights that are connected to a 12-volt transformer?

 Hello  @Danty 

KP405 plug comes with a dimmer based on TRIAC and the lamp (with dimmable bulb) needs to connect to  the plug directly so the dimmer could  control power/ current goes into the bulb.   A transformer between lamp and plug could affect or void the dimming feature.

  @Danty That is what I eventually assumed.

Thanks for the clarification.
