Her movements are so lifelike, she almost looks like a real person.
Hahahahahaha
Ha Ha Ha !
Lmao 🤣😆
Great AI. So lifelike. It’s coming along strong.
She reminds me of Sofia the robot.
My favourite feature about this product is that she periodically blinks. These finer details matter in making it a real life experience. I’m kidding! And I admit this as AI this sophisticated likely has humour capabilities as well. Thank. You. For. The. Great video.
And just remember Skynet is watching, Skynet is learning, the machines will rise. 🤣
Was helpful. My original dimmer switch had no markings for load vs line and both of those wires were black. So that took a little bit of trial and error.
One thing that might have helped is if you showed usage of the voltage detector prior to shutting off power so that people would know what they were looking for.
This was very informative. Thanks got it hooked up. Even the ground wire.
Really easy install, thank you!
Very helpful and to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
What the heck happened to the real person becasue she must be a robot the way she stares at the same thing (at least look at the camera, and PLEASE blink once its kinda creeping me out)
I just watched in on mute with Closed Captioning... Should have been a mannequin.
She is awesome! I love it! Keep up the great work Miss!
Why is the green ground wire, exposed, loose and flopping around when you put the switch back into the wall?
bad editing? You are correct though it does need to be capped or used.
@@TPLINKTECH The video does not explain what to do with the green wire. What does it attach to?
@@TPLINKTECH it says something like "as shown at right" and then there is nothing.
@@aksunder The green wire is the ground wire. If you do not have a ground in the wall box just cap it with a wire nut.

Ha Ha Ha !
Wow that was life like AI. Pretty Kool.
She's so cute. You guys are cracking me up with these replies.
Great. But if I'm working with two switches and one box will I have to use both nuetral wires or just one? Thanks
As long as they are connected to the neutral wire it shouldn't matter. Most 2-gain boxes share or have their neutral wires already clustered together.
Hello, Thank you for the awesome video. I have a question - I just finished installation and my light turns on as expected but when i run a voltage detector right on top of the switch, it turns red!! Is it expected or did i screw something up??
I can't actually say for sure. I would assume so since the switch is now supplied power, and if the lights are on then it would make sense. But reach out to support and they should be able to tell you.
Does it work in Europe?
What about voice command with Google Home, are they only available in English?
Question: Say I'm gonna leave the smart switch in my house but selling it and moving. Can you disable the wifi on the smart switch and only use locally with the buttons until the new owner sets it up? Don't need a switch broadcasting it's wifi when not connected. Please respond.
Absolutely. Hold the reset button under the main button for about 15 seconds. the WiFi light will come and may blink. This light will remain in this status till it is reconnected to a WiFi. The manual switch will still work though.
One cute installer
In the middle of connecting the live wires the GREEN wire appears?
Screw the dimmer! Can anyone share a link where I can purchase the robot? Asking for a friend
Ha Ha
The wiring was easy, setting up with the KASA app is a pain. I have 3 different styles of switches and about 30 smart bulbs that all scan in through other apps and connect to Alexa seamlessly. This one, with the KASA app has proven difficult. It requests that my wifi is connected to my phone, 2.4 like ally other smart devices, then immediately disconnects my phone from the wifi and connects to the switches wifi. It then tells me it's not connected to the internet, and prompts me to select a network. So I do, my 2.4 network again and try again. It just loops back through this process over and over.
now I get the ans from where the computer voice have came .. or she is robot from tp-link
So I did everything fine, i turned the switch on the see if it was working. When I noticed the green light, I turned the switch back off and tucked all the wires back in. When I turned it on again, the green light was working and there’s been no sign of life since. Did I do something wrong?
Its likely an wiring issue. We would suggest contacting support.
@@TPLINKTECH Sounds good thank you!
have a led flush light that says its compatible but when i have the light at its brightest it starts to blink.
the compatibility on our site is a general guide of minimum requirements. The lights them self may have components that are not compatible or the LEDs used have limits on how low or high the brightness should be set to. We recommend contacting the maker of the bulb for assistance.
Amazing product and easy to install. however there is no video related to how to setup the schedule and the rest
Great point, I will let our team know that this is something customers would love to see. In the mean time this FAQ should help: www.tp-link.com/us/faq-947.html
My smart dimmer doesn’t need to add in the App if the dimmer is already connected to your wifi.
A TP-Link, Kasa-branded dimmer can only be configured and setup via the App so yes you will need the app to even setup the product.
Product idea: Kasa Smart Wi-Fi 0-10V dimmer
I have LED fixtures run by dedicated drivers which feature 0-10V dimming. Of course I'd love to be able to control the dimming schedule wirelessly instead of manually with the potentiometer I currently have on there, or the arduino solution I'm currently working on implementing.
Have you tried the HS220? It might work for your needs.
@@TPLINKTECH That's this product in the video right? With the install video that appeared to dim line voltage, 120V@15A.
That's not remotely a 0-10V dimming signal.
0-10 dimming is normally much lower current, just for signaling (think Arduino level PWM), and it's the LED driver that then converts that signal to the lower current out.
@@OregonOutdoorsChris I was not aware of the difference. If that is the case the HS220 may not work for you after all. The voltage i s 120 @ 15amps.
What about the green/ground cable... the video shows it going back into the wall while not connected to anything?! Can anybody explain me that?
The Ground wire is the only one not required, but is recommend to protect the product from surges and shorts. If there is not a ground available in the house wiring just screw on a wire nut before putting the wire in the switch box.
Tk u.
I notice the switches a little warmer than the "dumb" switches even when the light is off. Is that normal?
Yes that is generated by the wireless module in the unit and is normal.
You guy bought a defective android her left arm keep on glitching...!
Your response does not compute. lol
Just to make sure, you can still use the switches the old fashioned way if you don't have wifi, right?
Yes there is a manual activation toggle on the switch itself.
In frame 2:35 you label the neutral wire and in frame 2:45 you have them all labeled. Could you show how/when you label the line and load?
Unfortunately that is not possible for the video. In practical application what you can do is remove both switches and place a wire nut on each wire. restore power and using a non-contact voltage tester see what wire is energized. This will tell you which box is the primary and where the HS210 should be installed. Turn off the power and then install as direct to complete the setup. If you are not comfortable playing with the electrical wiring we would suggest contacting an electrician.
She looks like a robot. Almost life like, I think she did blink.
Isn't technology grand?
Ha Ha Ha !
I know it's old, but I'm trying to install mine and I have more wires than that. I have the ground, neutral,and two other black ones. I have 4 total
That is common. One of the black wires is the live and the other is the load.
@@TPLINKTECH thank you for the reply, I have it installed but it took me little. But I believe I shorted out one of the plug outlets on my wall
Does the dimmer switch work on the 2 way switch ?
2-way switch? What is that?
Blink, just blink!
3:23 could you PLEASE clearly show the labels so that we can see which wire goes where? Not all of us have the property colored wires
the reason its not because at that point you should have already labeled the wires. If you are unsure of which wire is which it is not recommend to do a self installation. We recommend contacting a electrician to assist with the install.
TP-Link it’s not a question of which wire is which, they’re already labeled. The question is, which wire goes WHERE.
@@bramnet The terminals are labeled on the back of the dimmer. It’s in a tiny font that’s very hard to read with less than perfect lighting or vision, but it is there. Also, the screw heads are different colors, black for line and red for load, or at least that’s how it is on mine.
can this work ceiling fans too?
no, but we do have a fan/dimmer switch releasing soon .
So basically it wont work with 2/3 way switches. Only single switches?
Correct this HS220 dimmer switch is only for Single-Pole switch configurations. If you need a 3-way switch we sell a 2-switch kit called the HS210.
@@TPLINKTECH I'm not an expert on circuits or any thing but why doesn't this one work on a 3/4 way switch? All it needs to do is receive the signal through wifi that the switch should either be open or closed. Why do we need the kit with two switches when in theory we really only need to be able to control one switch to turn the light on/off?
@@bobbybrown614 As an electrician, I can answer this for you...
TL;DR This dimmer switch needs constant power to work properly, which is something a 3-way (and 4-way) switch configuration doesn't have.
You could use this in a 3-way or 4-way system , ONLY if you disable (wire straight through) any other switches in the loop and install this on the switch that has the switch leg going to the light (or at the very least, rewire your existing switch wiring to carry the sw. leg or the hot through to the smart switch location). If you do not disable the other switches and someone flips the original other 3-way or 4-way dumb switch (which will not turn the lights on and also at the same time power off your dimmer switch), you will not be able to turn your lights on at all until the flipped switch is returned to the original position and power is restored to the dimmer switch and it is reconnected to wi-fi.
However, with your admission that you are "not an expert on circuits", I would recommend you seek the services of a qualified electrician (or at least someone who knows what they are doing)....chances are you'll probably have to pay them...which in turn erases any savings from only buying one switch instead of the proper 3-way kit.
@@lammy2886 Thanks I think I see what you're saying. These switches need constant power for the wifi components to work in them? How does the 2 pack of switches solve that dilemma?
Also do you know if the Phillips Hue light bulbs also needs constant power? If one of the switches got turned off the app would no longer work until the switch was turned back on?
@@bobbybrown614 if you are only using with WiFi or timer mode, then you could make your 3way a 1way
I didn't expect AI, it's almost up the other side of the uncanny valley
Skynet is watching😉
Can I do my entire house with Kasa smart switches/dimmer switches?
If you have the required wiring at each switch location and there is good wifi by each switch then yes you can
@@TPLINKTECH what about when there are 2 three way switches at each and a 4 switch?
@@mr.melanin7844 can't say. We didn't do testing with a 4-way switch.
Where did you get that Android from? Link me.
We have a NDA and are not allowed to reveal our sources. :-)
My lights blink after installation. What does that mean?!
mine do too
It means that you don't have dimable light bulbs.
did I miss the green wire connection?
Green wire is ground and is optional. If you have ground present we recommend using it other wise just cap it.
There where NO instructions or comments on the entire video regarding what are the possibilities of this dimmer in software. So there's is no way to know unless I purchase it.
That is not the purpose of the video. Its specially to touch on how to install/setup the product. If you want the specs of the product you can look at its product page here: www.kasasmart.com/us/products/smart-switches/kasa-smart-wi-fi-light-switch-dimmer-hs220
you didn't demonstrate how the button clicks... that's most important part.
This is a wiring demo, not a functioning demo.
kasa switch dimmer can't connect a extra dimmer in my house does anyone have the same problem
What are you trying to do? Connect a dimmer to another dimmer?
“Oh, I broke a nail!”
Must be nice to have red wires in your home!
wire colors can vary. If the volt meter shows it has voltage it is a live or load wire.
My existing switch has 2 black wires and 1 red. Your video didn't mention what to do with the 2nd black wire. Fail
We would suggest contacting an electrician. If there are more than the wires seen in the video you would want to do a professional installation.
It is not easy to detach board as you have shown
Board? what do you mean by that?

yeah, these switches are great but they suck in terms of color matching with other wall plates,. as they look so ugly , so off when we use other plates,. i have not seen one matching wall plate, that matches the color of the kasa switches,. also, i noticed that the switch looks so recessed/off from the wall plate, when we use any other wall plate,. did anyone notice this or am the only person,. and if there are n number of users seeing the same, then am not sure why Kasa is silent, and not releasing 1. their own wall plates, and 2. change the color and the the sizing of their switches so that it fits some brands,. I
We are not silent on this but we don't design products to match with other brands. The reason other can and often do is because often other brands are made by OEM and hence share design and materials with other products. TP-Link and Kasa for the most part are designed and manufactured in house. As for making multi-gang plates we also don't do this because its not part of our design. Also our plates are a snap-on design that may not be compatible with other non-TP-Link switches. This is why we make our products conform with Decora standards so generic plates can be used if you so choose. Though color matching may be a problem in these situations.
@@TPLINKTECH LOL! you must be kidding,. did u ever see ANY wall plate matching with KASA switch? and you are saying "Decora standards".. Is that your standard to make a switch not to match with ANY other wall plate? Funny that you mentioned about the standards. If you ever tried to plug in your switch in ANY wall plate, you can clearly see that there is a big recess like look, as if your switch is way back in the wall, while the wall plate is protruding towards the front,. very unpleasant to view. If your switches are not intended to be used with ANY other wall plates in the market, then I would agree, as I know it ONLY matches to the plate that was designed for it.. but imagine if people want to use a KASA on a standard wall plate, be it 2,3,4,5 gang, then your SWITCH will be looking like an ORPHAN switch that is left out from the wall plate. I may be wrong, as I have not see a SINGLE wall plate that perfectly MATCHES with KASA switches,. even a standard decora switch will be perfectly FIT with any standard wall plate in the market,.
@@stevemoody8506 Yes, in fact I use a KC210 in a multi-gang housing. The reason there is a recess is because the Kasa switches are lager than a non-wireless switch, and because the wall box may not be as deep as needed when you take into account the house wiring that also takes up space. This is because they have to be so to house the wireless components. In the newer switches coming out we have done our best to address this but still can't guarantee there won't be any recess.
@@TPLINKTECH when are you launching in the new version with change in the dimensions that fits all wall plates? also, is there any change in the color as well, as NO wall plate in the market perfectly matches to your switches,. weird! am sure you got the same complaints/concerns from customers across the globe,. am still surprised the kind of action that TP-Link is taking to address and give an update to its customer base/community. drop me ur contact stevemoody800@gmail.com or shoot me an email to discuss further,.
@@stevemoody8506 I don't have that information. You can reach out to support at kasa.support@tp-link.com for that. What I can say is that TP-Link link is a direct manufacture of these products we are not an OEM like many other manufactures out there. As I am sure you are aware OEM make products for multiple companies as a result and because the same materials are used those product tend to match to each other better. TP-Link's products being made in house we likely do not have the same color index these OEMs are using. Also keep in mind that our products are designed to be used primarily in a single-dim with the provided faceplate. While the switch works with Decora Standards we cannot nor have we ever guaranteed compatibly or any type of color matching with other brands.
The android lady doesn't explain: a) what the green wire is or, more importantly, b) how to install if this is a new switch. I can't take a picture of the "existing" wires when I'm literally wiring up a new switch. And just swapping the colors in the app between off-white and pasty green is completely helpless.
The Green wire is often the Ground wire. This can often be just a exposed copper wire but also is not required. So if you don't know which wire is ground or if you don't have one you can just cap the wire on the switch and leave it not connected.
I would caution, though, if you are unfamiliar with electrical wires, we do not recommend doing a self-install. instead we recommend hiring an electrician to install the product for you. This recommendation is out of an abundance of safety.

@@TPLINKTECH 😮😮😮
The instructions provided by the TP Link app are terrible. This one is not much better. The instructions state to identify the load (to the light) and line (hot from breaker) wires but they then just say to connect the wires to the switch. They don't mention that in very fine print on the back of the switch that the load (red screw) and line (black screw) connections are identified. Took me about 4 UA-cam videos to find someone who actually explained this thoroughly. TP needs to have someone test their instructions. Very poor. BTW, the dimmer switch works very well once installed.
The video has instructions to label the wires, then later says use said labels to connect the wires to the right screw. Each screw has a label of which wire its intended for. Aside from literally saying connect the live wire to the black screw and the load wire to the red screw the instructions are pretty clear.
