HS210 in a 4-way scenario?
HS210 in a 4-way scenario?
![](/avatar/avatar-11.png)
Hey Everyone:
I asked this question of TP-Link support and they were...less than helpful.
I have some lights that are in a 4-way config. Is there any way to set up at least one HS210 in this scenario, and have it work correctly in conjunction with the other manual switches?
Current Configuration:
Switch #1: 3-way switch, HAS neutral.
Switch #2: 3-way switch, HAS neutral.
Switch #3: 3-way switch, NO NEUTRAL.
Switch #4: 4-way switch, just has the travelers going to it -- NO NEUTRAL.
So basically, can I replace "Switch #1" or "Switch #2" (or both??) with HS210, will it work in this setup and will switches #3 and #4 still function?

@Dshollis Just had the electrician come and rewire today

@mdcubsfan Can you give an update please? Did this work correctly? Do the dummy switches (the switches after the first in the series) sill correctly toggle power? Does the app register the correct status? Does the LED on the smart switch work properly?
, still having issues. Did you try it also and did it work for you?

@mgudites Your post said to place the HS210 in the position where there are no additional switches between the smart switch and the breaker box. My assumption is that this would be the switch that is physically closest to the breaker box, but from a wiring perspective, how can I confirm which is the first in the chain?

@amalizard I'm sure there's a better way of doing this but, as a non-electrician my method was:
1. Disconnect ALL the switches
2. Turn on the breaker
3. Use a voltage checker (voltage pen, the kind you can just wave in front of the wire and it beeps if there's current) to see which box still had juice in it after disconnecting all the switches. That's the box that's first in line from the breaker.

I understand how to wire the 4-way scenario but the 4-way dumb switch is on a panel with 3 Kasa smart switches and it looks terrible. Is there any way to use any of the Kasa light switches to replace the 4-way switch for aesthetic purposes? TIA!
