Hey guys,
So this is weird. I just installed an HS210 3-way switch in my basement. The partner switch is a regular toggle switch and is on the other side of the room. I connected the switch the way I would do any 3-way switch (two travellers on top, hot on the side, neutral and ground), and the switch operates normally when I use it physically or via the app. However, if the lights are on and I try to turn them off from the regular toggle switch, they will turn off for a split second, turn on for half a second, then turn off (and I hear a click each time from the Kasa switch). I tried swapping the traveller wires and it still does the same thing.
So I figured it must be a bad switch, right? Well, I exchanged the switch and the new one does the exact same thing.
Any suggestions?

Thanks that should be enough now I will send it over to the engieers and see if they can provide an answer as to why it was causing the lights to flicker. I'll let you know when we find out.

Sorry for the delay. I just wanted to wait for the team to respond and see if they reached out to you directly as their first response made that the assumption. What they explained was if the manual switch is a dimmer that would explain the flickering. I didn't inquire about this because I didn't know that. Is your manual switch a dimmer?
