Attempting to get two KS 230 V 2.6 to work in a four-way set up. This version has a separate black wire to attach the load on the satellite. If I bypass the middle four-way switch, connecting the black wires to each other and the red wires to each other it works in a standard 3 way set up with a load attached to the load wire, or the load attached to the bottom traveler screw. When I attempt to put the satellite switch in the middle, the main switch gives a miss wired error in every configuration I can think of. I have attempted putting both red wires on the top screw and both black wires on the bottom screw, no luck. I also flipped them top and bottom, red on bottom and black on top. I have put black and red on the top screw and black and red on the bottom screw with no luck. This was done using black and red from the same wire as well as crossing them, meaning black from one wire and red from the other one one screw and the other two wires on the other screw. Any idea where I am messing up?

  @Beaugas were you able to get this situation remedied? I have the exact same issue.

If I'm willing to eliminate one of the switches in my 4-way (and just put a blank panel there), will the kasa 3-way dimmer kit work?

  @Chicago_SH you only need to put one switch on the power supply end, Right Side on your diagram. If you buy the two unit kit, you have two switches to use in different locations. The 3-Way Dimmers, now that a whole different story. Just got done doing this exact thing. And agree on the kudos for the great gear!

If Kasa made an "official" 4-way wifi switch I would buy them for my house.

This works for me with HS210 and one 4-way switch. Only difference with the schematics that everyone had posted is that the neutral wire of the hs210 of each ends is connected to the neutral line and to the light.

Four or five years of community requests and still no product. This is starting to make me think TP Link doesn't want to support the demand of the community and I should consider a different brand. I'd be purchasing a handful today if you had a product.

 

If you don't want to make a 4 way product, how about an affordable middle switch to control the master? In other words, we'll wire as a 3 way with a middle switch that controls the function of the first including dimmer. This isn't a complicated solution but I do not believe smart actions allows the control of dimming. It essentially just needs another satellite that can communicate over Wifi.

The Kasa HS210 setup SUCKS, due to.....LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS. Plus the cruddy app fails fails fails. Half the time it doesn't detect the device, the other half of the time it won't let me name it ("Operation failed, please try again later"). And these are allegedly "smart" switches? Says who?!?? I call them DUMB switches.
