It also works withTapo sensors, which you could use to add motion activation to the switch.

This switch has something that the Kasa KS205 doesnta good app.

Its also important to note that this is a dimmer switch, not a basic on/off switch.

It works regardless of whether you need a single pole and 3-way configurations, though, which I love.

One feature I like about this switch that I dont get from my own setup is fading.

If thats the case, then I recommend using the GE Cync Smart Dimmer Light Switch.

You only need one, even if the light switch controls multiple bulbs.

This switch is great for adding smart light controls to an older home with dated wiring though.

It works in both single pole and 3-way configurations, and it integrates with both Alexa and Google Assistant.

Of course features and functionality are both important as well.

I prefer basic on/off smart switches because I have dimmable smart bulbs installed everywhere.

If you have Amazon Echo smart speakers, then ensure to select a smart switch that works with Alexa.

If you have Apple HomePod speakers, then youll need a switch that works with HomeKit.

Some smart switches require a hub, and others connect directly to your Wi-Fi web connection.
