Hello,

I'm hoping someone here has a little bit more electrical knowledge than I do, as I'm struggling to figure this one out.

I bought the HS210 (works in the way it was described, but not how I need it to) to replace a broken basement stairs light switch. The original basement light switch had an on/off at the top of the stairs and at the bottom, but it appears the bottom of the stairs switch was a radio frequency switch as it was wired to the house electric but not wired to the actual basement stairs light. It made use of some sort of signaling over the electrical network to communicate with the switch at the top of the stairs. I bought the HS210 with an understanding that the switches could communicate with each other in a similar way via WiFi, but when installed the HS210 at the bottom of the stairs doesn't turn the light on and off. I suspect I need a new RF or signal sending switch and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or knows if TP-Link makes a switch capable of solving the issue I've described.

thank you in advance!
