Where would you install a Wi-Fi light switch?

@EastbayGolfer Год назад

To setup a routine for the front porch light and to be able to turn it on when we are not at home.

@fixaajets Год назад

To reset your cameras like ring if your away from home and its not working. That is one reason.

@TopHomeowner 2 года назад

Mine is hooked up to two LED recessed lights and it works just fine. I would think 3 would work but you're right it does seem like there's a limit to this switch based on other comments.

I have several TP Link outlets that I never had any trouble getting on them on Wi-Fi.

A Wemo plug. Wemo outlet. Or another brand of a smart plug. I have multiple Wemo smart outlets. Wemo is linkable to Alexa also for voice control.

@webxman 2 года назад

Hi I have two black wires and a red wire and white. Can I still wire this? Or need a different switch? Thanks for your time!

@TopHomeowner 2 года назад

That red wire should be a traveler so you'll need a version that's compatible with a three-way switch. Looks like the Kasa KS230 kit is what you'd need.

@DZVtornado 7 месяцев назад

Great video. QQ: My house is from the 30's and there is some older electrical wiring. I was going to replace the dimmer in my dining room with this but there isn't a neutral wire, just two black wires to work with. Any ideas?

@TopHomeowner 7 месяцев назад

The only option I know of that will work without a neutral wire is the Lutron Caseta line. It's pricy compared to most of the other options, but way cheaper than rewiring!

@EastbayGolfer Год назад

One note that drove me crazy. I installed a smart switch to control my front porch and the switch was one in a gang of three. When I pulled the existing switches all the white neutrals were tied together as expected. I pulled one the neutral wires and attached it to the new switch. The light blinked on/of every second but would not connect to Wifi. Then I tried another neutral wire and it seemed to work however the next day nothing worked. ONLY when I left all the neutrals tied together and tied the white neutral switch wire into the neutral bundle did everything work as advertised.

@MStar10 Год назад

Thank you for sharing that. Otherwise worked fine? I have a gang three where I don't need dimmers as they for outside lights... But just want them to be smart (timing etc from phone). Hooe this works for my needs

The wires attached to my light switch are black, green and blue (all J-hooked). On the inside, what I believe to be a wire nut (it looks different than in the video) houses a blue, red and black wire. Can anyone point me in the right direction on a type of switch and/or tutorial? Thank you!

@jeffmattel7867 11 месяцев назад

Have you noticed that if you set the default brightness very low like say 1% when you turn on the switch it takes several seconds for the light or lights to lit up? Even with the setting of fade on(instant)? If I set the default brightness at 50% or higher then they lit up immediately after pressing the switch. This happens regardless of pressing the switch on the wall or using the app. I have several of the Kasa switches(HS220s and KS220s) and they all behave like this so I think it is normal, but seems strange.

@TopHomeowner 11 месяцев назад

Yes, I have noticed that. I figured it was an issue with the LED bulbs... not enough power to get them started... but you're right, it could be the switch itself.

@NickAlati Год назад

you made it easy to install, thanks

hi i want to know how many light bulbs can i atach to it, i d have to cover a long hallway, of about 20 lights

@TopHomeowner 2 года назад

I can't answer that exactly but I did see that some people have had issues dimming multiple bulbs. Mine controls two and it works just fine. I'd go with something that's from an actual electric company like the Lutron Caseta line. Also, this article helps explain how to determine the max number of LED bulbs on a dimmer: blog.lightbulbs-direct.com/led-dimmer-switch-compatibility/

There is a calibration process you can go through in the app to set the dim limit so you might try that

@liquifiedart 2 года назад

Can I group different switch’s together and turn the group on and off. Example, “exterior lights only” group?

@TopHomeowner 2 года назад

Yes, you can add a group in the app to control multiple switches and even smart plugs all at the same time.

@cxa340 2 года назад

I do this via Alexa as I can group different lights/switchers from different manufacturers together - I can literally say “Alexa turn house lights on” and every light in the house turns on at 100% brightness. For lamps etc you can use the Alexa plug or a smart bulb, but it gives you some great options in terms of home security.

@RamanSingh-wt2wy Год назад

Hi, great video...I am novice at electrical work, I have load, neutral, and hot,, but don't have ground wire. But it will work without ground wire?any advice??

Do you have any ideas because it’s not clear what’s going on in the settings I have two more of these installed they don’t do it

@TopHomeowner Год назад

Sounds like the ring camera is getting power through that box. If this didn't happen with your old switch and you have multiple sets of wires in the box, you'll need to identify the wire(s) that go to the light fixture and hook up the other wires with pigtail connections so the power continues though.

Yes, its kind-of like a paddle switch that when you push in at the bottom, it turns the light on or off. I say "kind-of" because it stays in the same position... theres a spring behind it so when you push it in, the spring pushes it back out. The dimmer is controlled by the top two buttons as well (actual buttons). Hope this helps!

@cxa340 2 года назад

Check - this will only connect to the 2.4ghz wifi and your router broadcasts in both 2.4 and 5ghz (almost all the smart home stuff only connects to 2.4ghz) what can happen is that it is connecting to the 5ghz network instead of the 2.4ghz and unable to “connect successfully” shall we say. The solution is usually to go into your router (via a web browser using the address in the back of the router) and turn off the 5ghz broadcasting until you have it set up. I do this especially with the Kasa bulbs as they seem to love the 5ghz network even though they cannot use it.

@@TopHomeowner This may be incorrect information. It MAY be the old way of wiring switches. The power source is in the light box. black = line (live from light box), white= switched load back to light. ground is still ground. White should have a black sleeve or tape on it to indicate it is being used as a black wire.

@jhocadsonarchelus786 2 года назад

So since their is only 3 wires, black is line, white is line and and copper is ground which means it connects to the green on the tp-link. Which also means the white wire on the tp-link is not connected to anything?
