Model: Kasa HS220  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Please add ability to preset default brightness at different times with this switch. For example I have the motion sensor dimmer switch ES20M. In the app, you can set a schedule: Between 6pm and 8am, turn on at 50% brightness. From 8am to 6pm turn on at 100% brightness.

 

I'm looking for this feature in the standard physical dimmer switch. I would like the "brightness" to follow a schedule, but not necessarily change the state. So when I turnpress the button in the evening, I want it to default to 50%. But when I push the button during the day, I want it to default to 100%. But if the button is off at sunset, I want the brightness to change while remaining off. Currently there are no workarounds even with Alexa routines... changing the brightness through Alexa also changes the state to on. I don't want my lights to turn on at 6pm, I just want the brightness set to 50% but to remain off until I physically turn it on.

 

Ths feature has been requested many many times as far back as 2019 (changing brightness without turning on switch)

Recently installed Kasa light switches and immediately ran into this frustrating issue. It's disappointing to see this concept has been known to TP-LInk for 3+ years and they have not implemented the update yet. 

 

Let's go! Get it done!
