Rapid Flashing Red Light on KS230

Model: KS230 KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

 

Just installed the dimmer 3-way kit and having a issue with the flashing red light. 

 

On the satellite switch I tried every possible wire combination and I either get no light or in only one instance I get a rapid flashing red light. 

 

Any suggestions?

Hi  @ThePie 

 Can I have some photos showing how main KS230 and old 3-way switches are installed,  some forum users might be able to help take a look. 

Can you manually turn on/ off light when pressing main / satellite KS230? Did you try to swap the TR1/TR2  travelers on the satellite KS230 before?

Hi Solla. This is the only original picture that I have. In regards to the new Master switch that was installed, the wires are installed per the directions. The new Master switch picture that I currently have is with the switch already placed back in the box. Can take it out and take a picture if needed.

 

Can you manually turn on/ off light when pressing main / satellite KS230?

No

 

Did you try to swap the TR1/TR2  travelers on the satellite KS230 before? 

Yes

Hello @ThePie 

Yes, please help take out the main KS230 and take a photo of wiring in the wall box, that would help.    I'd like to escalate your case to look into that further,  please check your email inbox for TKID220330089.

You can see the wiring of the master switch below. There are the two yellow traveler wires and the black line wire.

Request from email

Before Swap TR1& TR2

Ring Led on Main: On

Ring Led on Satellite: On

WiFi led on Main: Rapid flashing red

 

After Swap TR1& TR2

Ring Led on Main: On

Ring Led on Satellite: Off 

WiFi led on Main: Rapid flashing red

 

 

 

The bulbs in the light seem to be the normal 60 watt bulbs.

I had a set of 3-way normal switches (HS210) which I installed in place of the 3-way dimmer switches. The installed normal 3-way switches are shown below. Everything works perfectly as installed below. Seems to be a issue with the dimmer 3-way switches. Any ideas on what can be done to resolve the dimmer switch issue?

  Resolved the issue.

 

  1. Returned Smart Dimmer 3-Way Switch
  2. Purchased a new Smart Dimmer 3-Way Switch
  3. Installed using same setup.

 

The first set of smart dimmers was a bad set it seems.

@tplink @Support @tplink  @Solla-topee wondering how to open a case for a similar issue. Mine were working fine for several months, I have several that are just dimmers and some that are just on/off. All of those have been great as well. Then one day, I noticed that one dropped, then another a few days later and now I have four 3way dimmers that are all in various states of being offline or connected but they do nothing. I find it odd that all four of them have all gone out roughly around the same time. Did you guys kill them with a bad firmware flash?
