Works nicely. Some thoughts:
- Please give me the "double-tap" function back. What good is a "long press" to a pre-preset when we've no fast return to the "normal" brightness. The level of capability having both "Long Press" and 'Double Tap" is really high, I use it on the 2 pole dimmers to great affect. Sure miss it here.
- As I say for all the switches:
- Please give us a scenario where we can set brightness without turning the light on. I use this on my Feits often and it's quite useful. Sadly, at present Kasa scene's assume that i want to set a brightness and ALSO want it turned on, so they integrate the commands. Nope. ( I actually think this is a progamming error). I OFTEN want a specific level or brightness but only if/when the light is turned on.
- Interestingly, Alexa programmers have already split those apart, so via Alexa it's possible to set brightness (as can my Feits) from their routines. However, even then Kasa switches don't honor the call (it again turns the light on also) even though I can explicitly make the call.
- Kasa is sending kits with Phillips screws for installation. Why? Industry uses a square drive #2 with an SAE slot in them, and it's MUCH faster and less likely to strip. Yet here you are sending us crummy screws with
- LED indicators: Why does each switch version have such dramatic LED indicator brightness differences? Can it be that hard to make sure they all look the same?

- May I suggest you make the new version packaging more clear: Amazon shipped me Version 1 devices even though I paid the premium for V2 and carefully choose the "new version 2" at checkout. I have to admit the packaging is not obvious at all.
