  @NCHA I am showing "out for delivery". Fingers crossed! I just took down one of my fans last night, going to pick up some wiring at lunch! Hoping it goes well when I get off work. If that goes smoothly, then I'll start the other two!

Will this be Matter compatible in the future?

  @Riley_S Thank you for the update.

 

Same question as DrTek  will there be a matter version or able to upgrade to matter?

I have installed all 3 of my switches and they are working flawlessly!

 

Anyone have any good recommendations for dimmable warm-white LED bulbs (standard US base) that work well with Kasa switches?

 

A particular brand would be preferred since I need some regular bulbs and some Edison bulbs.

Ordered two. One fit fine, but the other one's metal box is not deep enough.

 

I may end up having to cut that out and replace it with a new work box.

 

Unless anyone here has any suggestions. I even got rid of the wire nuts and used Wagos. 
 

Thanks.

  @Aravot 

Thanks! I ended up getting an old work deep single gang box, and cutting the nails out of the old one.

 

Took awhile as I had to make the opening bigger. 
But I finally got it installed.

 

I am hoping that they are able to add matter to this at a later point.

 

But so far, it works great and looks good.
