Hi, I'm trying to replace a single pole light switch with a KS200 Kasa smart switch.

The old switch has 3 black wires. The white wires are pigtailed together in the back of the box, same with the ground wire.

The switch powers a bedroom ligh/fan combo. Fan is controlled by pull chain.

Can I use this smart switch with this light fan combo? Any advice on how to proceed.

Thank you.

@Headlie

I used a voltage tester and determined one of the 2 black wires on the bottom of the old switch is the line. I assume the other one is the load to the outlets in the bedroom. (Switch does not control outlets)

So I'm thinking I connect the line and load to the black wires on the new Kasa switch. Should I connect the 3rd black single wire from the old switch, to the white wire on the Kasa switch?
