How to Install a Kasa KS230 V2 Kit | DIY Installation 

As we are not able to provide detailed troubleshooting in RU-vid Comments, we do recommend you contact support for assistance.

@@TPLINKTECH how do I contact support?

can't say. This channel and the videos on it are geared towards the US Region and US products. You can check here though. www.tp-link.com/au/

KS230 is not capable of working in a 3-way environment.

@@TPLINKTECH what Kasa switches will work in this case?

@@natrlhy In a 4-way the HS210 is possible.

​@@TPLINKTECH Why does the satellite dimmer not need neutral? Without neutral, how is the circuit completed for the 2nd dimmer?

@@aaabbb-py5xd Because a Neatural wire is only needed on the side where the line wire is. The load wire side does not need it as the transmission between the two switches is done through the traveler wires.

No. A neutral wire is required at the Line side of the run.

@@TPLINKTECH okay. Do you have switch for 3 wires?

@@user-je9eg3qu6y No, not at this time.

Neutral is only needed on the line side. On the Load side it is not needed as communication between the two switches is through the traveler wires.

@@TPLINKTECH Ok thanks, but how does the switch on the Line side remain powered (if it doesn't have a dedicated neutral)? Is this switch using one of the travellers as neutral?

@@aaabbb-py5xd The Line side requires the Neutral. the Load side does not. The line is the side where power is delivered to the 3-way run so the switch will always have power.

@@TPLINKTECH Thanks for responding to my amateur questions, especially since I misspoke earlier. I actually wished to understand how the Load-side Switch (Satellite Dimmer) maintains power. Since that side is not connected to its own neutral (nor line), is it that the Satellite Dimmer is using one Traveller as "Line" and the other Traveller as "Neutral"? If this is the case, how does the Main Dimmer and the Satellite Dimmer coordinate their on-off state and dimming levels (which are functions usually maintained by the Traveller Wires)? Thanks

@@aaabbb-py5xd My knowledge of the interworkings of electrical devices like the 3-way switches is very limited. But we have a wonderful group of customers on our Community who know these devices very well and may be able to answer that. Maybe post a thread community.tp-link.com/us/smart-home/forum/2434 and see if you can get a more expert-level response there.

We do have motion detecting switches just not in a 3-way configuration/ We also have a motion sensor in our Tapo product line that could be used to control switches as well. .

@@TPLINKTECH I have the KS200M in a bathroom. But those same smart features would be useful in upstairs hallway if/when you offer it in a 3-way config. I’d mount the sensor downstairs and force manual operation overnight

@@Wayne3339 good to know. I am not aware if a 3-way motion is on the horizon but if there is enough of a request I could see it happen.

Okay, did you have any issues?
