Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.6

Dear Kasa Team,

I'm writing to request a feature enhancement for the KS240 smart switch. Currently, the switch lacks visual indication on the touch surface when the lights are off, making it difficult to locate in dark rooms. To improve user experience, I propose the following changes:

 

Primary Request

  • When the lights are off, display a subtle light or glow on the touch surface where the user needs to tap to turn the lights on. 

  • Once the lights are turned on, the glow should turn off.

 

Optional Enhancement

  • Consider adding sliders or indicators that light up when the lights/fan are on, providing visual feedback on the switch's status.

 

Rationale

The KS240's lack of physical buttons and absence of light indication on the touch surface makes it challenging to navigate in dark environments. This feature enhancement would align the KS240 with other products in the Kasa lineup, such as the KS200 and KS220, which already provide similar visual cues.

 

Benefits

  • Improved user experience in low-light environments.

  • Enhanced accessibility for users with visual impairments.

  • Consistency with other Kasa products.

 

Thank you for considering this feature request. I look forward to hearing from you.
