Hi,

 

in a 3 way switch circuit, do I need to replace all the switches with a Kasa 3 way switch or is only one Kasa 3 way switch needed and I can leave the other(s).

For this, it actually depends on the type of 3-way switches used.  If it's the 3-way Dimmer, like the KS230, then both switches need to be replaced.  If it's just the standard 3-way switch, like the HS210, then only the switch on the Line side needs to be replaced.
