The power for the wifi, and other smart features that need a little power all the time, comes from the neutral (usually white), Sounds like you connected the neutral to the main power (this can cause issues for other switches I believe too). Note I am NOT an electrician, but that is what I expect is happening here.

Thank you JPeasey, following your link solves my problem (both black and red wire on the same line needed to be added to traveler connection).

  @gteagle I had the same issue as everyone else and found my solution in Amazon comments/questions. An electrican does a simple walkthrough of how to set this up properly. Tp-Link should work this into their instructions. Has to do with which box comes from the fuse panel and how to figure that out: https://www.amazon.com/ask/answer/MxDLYOLLJYAIZT/

  @jeffthesavage 

thanks for your post. I've installed three sets of 3way switches and only one set wasn't switching on and off correctly. It was very frustrating. I couldn't figure out why that particular one wasn't working until I saw your post. I realized one of the switches weren't wired properly. Once I read your post, I immediately took apart that one switch and rewired. It's now working perfectly. It was really bugging me. Now all solved. Big thanks!

  @Justaguy. 

 

I am having this exact issue. Did you ever find a solution?

 

TIA

  @GarrettF Could you clarify what do you mean by "in front of the switch"? I have tried to find the MAC addresses of each switch. Even TP_Link stated that there is no way to find out the last 4 of the Mac. But if you found a spot where this information is visible, you are my savior!

  @GarrettF you only need a smart switch on the first from the breaker box switch .

 

You can leave your old 3 way on the other end of the leg and it will work. 

 

Saves a bit of $$
