Model: Kasa HS220  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: Most recent

My regular dimmer switch works on my track lighting 8 lamps total. My KASA dose not? 
these are a LED track light set from Home Depot with 2 addl. heads for big room. However LED so should not exceed the 120v ?? Any suggestions what switch would work for remote on/off/dim ? If Kasa cannot handle track lights ??

thx

Hey @Kasa101,

You will need to provide more information about your hardware. 

 

The 120v is only a specification for received power; the actual spec you need is the Max Load: 

 

Max Load: 15 A General Use, 600 W Incandescent, 120 W Ceiling Fan, 1/6 HP Motor ·

 

This can be exceeded with LED lights, especially if they are high-power or in series with each other. 

 

 

As this is also a Dimmer Switch, it can potentially be incompatible with the Dimming Type used by your track lighting. You will need to find out if your track lighting supports Leading Edge Dimming / TRIAC Phase Cut as a Dimming Type— as this is the dimming type used by all of our smart switches.
