Model: KS230 KIT  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

K230 Kit 3 Way Dimmer - Installed all wires correctly on main and satellite switches, however getting steady orange light on main switch. Does not blink orange/green to connect with wireless internet in house. Checked continuity of each wire. All good. How can I upgrade firmware if I can't connect to switch? How can I resolve steady orange light. Connected exactly as outlined in Kasa App for 3 Way Dimmer Switch.

my KS230 flickering issue while dimming is fixed after downgrading the firmware version to 1.0.10. My current version was 1.0.12 which was buggy.

I am having same issue. Just got these I have a total of 3. Each one had different issues . Last 1 turned on worked well. I shut off power once I got everything configured to install into wall and then switch turned solid amber. Pulled apart to make sure no wires were cracked or bare and nothing. It no longer works.

  @Solla-topee 

wiring is per paper instructions included with kit line - traveler 1 - traveler 2 - ground - neutral for main 

then load - traveler / traveler / ground for companion. 
it was all working for about 5-10 minutes while I did initial install. Then I closed walls up put plates on while power was off and when I turned power back on it was solid orange. 
this is all in brand new wiring from a new install.

i am wondering if a firmware update has bricked the device as I'm reading a lot of complaints about that. This is the 3rd kit device that has done this to me.

 I also have this issue. Switch worked fine for a few days then this happened.  No resets help and there is no WiFi broadcast from the switch, so I can't do anything that way either.  I installed 3 kits, the other 2 kits are working ok.  Support reached out to me with suggestions, but non helped and they have been silent for 2 months now.  I would like the switch replaced as it cost me over $50 for the kit.  Every other switch in my house works fine.  I have already ordered a new kit as my wife is upset about this one switch not working.
