@RojasNet2. have over a hundred kasa devices in the home.   We bought a number of KS220M assuming it would have the same features as the HS220 single switch, specifically the double tap and long press in addition to motion sensing.   We were super disappointed to learn that it was missing the double tap and long press found on the basic much older HS220 dimmer.  Worse, we assumed the motion sensor could be programmed to trigger other Kasa devices, it could nott.

 

In retrospect, we would have been so much better off with just Kasa HS220 dimmers, and third party Motion sensors that can integrate with Kasa devices, such as SmartThings.

??    My motion switch is used to trigger other switches.   Perhaps you overlooked it in the recent upgrades?

Thanks for pointing out the addition of triggers.  Did more digging and found them on  the main menu tucked within  "Smart". 

1. Scene - Action(s)

2. Smart Actions (IFTTT) - When (trigger(s) > Then (trigger(s)

3. Featured Actions - Smart Acions Templates

 

Very helpful, greatly adds to is versatility.   However, still not as flexible as a seperate HS220 and Motion sensor.

 

** For the following reasons - hopefully KASA / TP Link adds at some point!!

1. Missing "Double Tap and Long Press" actions available in HS220.

2. Option to use KS220M motion sensor on its own - to trigger actions without turning on or off lighting wired to it.

 

** Other doable and useful feature **

3. Option to disable the physical dimming buttons via software.

 

 

  @LearnTO 

please add this feature (double tap, long tap) to your most expensive motion supported light switch (ES20M). 

  @RojasNet2 

Kasa, please add this feature soon.  I was very surprised after buying these motion sensors that they don't have the same basic features as the other dimmers.  I'm considering returning these... It is confusing for people having some light switches you can hold to turn on to a certain level and others you can't... When are you adding this feature?

YES!!!!   This is sorely missing features.

 

Want the ability to go full bright (or any pre-set), and override smartcontrol timeout when programming the double/long tap.

Double tap and long press is long overdue and would improve the capabilities of a Kasa home. Being able to bring a room to full brightness or turn off and entire floor, that sort of thing. Please add this feature soon!

Upvoting and requesting this be added to matter/homekit Tapo and Kasa models. (KS225, KS205, S505/D)

It is very strange that the HS220 has the double-tap and Long Press, feature and the HS220M does not.
