Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If you want to go with Wi-Fi, I am a big fan of Kasa and Tapo. They are both TP-Link and use the same Tapo app. I have had the plugs and dimmers going in my house for years.
  • I have tested a lot of smart dimmers and switches, and I'm a big fan of Kasa and Tapo.
  • Also happy with Kasa, and IFTTT support. I have it set to deflate the inflatable when wind speed is significant, and inflate when the wind calms down, using my weather station for that data.
  • Kasa is great. It’s extremely reliable, very fast (quicker than my Zigbee and Z-wave devices), and once configured, can be fully locally controlled via home assistant - even if you block internet access to it at the router.
  • but for smart switches Kasa is pretty nice

Cons

  • I had both and believe the WiFi switches added to network congestion. Also they were slightly slower to respond than the Lutron.
  • The only ones I have seen so far are all hard wired (kiddie) or out of stock (Kasa).
  • The Kasa worked for this, but it was a pain to open the app when I’m just walking in to grab something.
  • Will Home assistant work with Kasa?
  • When I got my first set of matter devices, I just connected them through the KASA (then TAPO) app.

I have about half a dozen Kasa smart bulbs and plugs (but admittedly, no switches) and have had little to no trouble.
