Control your lights, ceiling fans, and other fixtures from anywhere with the HS200. The smart switch replaces any standard light switch, and connects to your home Wi-Fi in no time through the free Kasa app. Kasa also lets you manage connected fixtures with your smartphone or tablet, including setting schedules, timers and countdowns. For added convenience, you can use your voice to control the HS200 when paired with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Great smart home product

Verified Purchase:Yes
I did a lot of research before deciding to deploy this technology. I chose it because I don't need a separate hub and because I can control it with Alexa. As an added bonus, it can accept IFTTT triggers from my Arlo cameras so I can turn on lights when one of the cameras detects motion. This is great because the IR picture on the cameras is OK but not very high resolution. Being able to turn on the nearest light when a camera detects and records motion is a big plus. These switches are quite easy to install and set up if you have basic electrical and wifi technology skills. The TP-Link Kasa app guides you through it very well. After the first one I didn't even need to consult the app for wiring instructions. If you are looking for a two pole solution (two light switches to control one light/set of lights) TP-Link now makes that solution as well although BestBuy doesn't yet carry it. It is the TP-Link HS210 kit. I have installed 7 single pole (HS200) switches and 4 double pole (HS210) kits and they all work quite well. I can control all of them from Alexa or my phone app. I have my three ceiling fans running on a schedule so I don't have to remember to turn them on or off at various times of the day.

Works quite well once it is set up

I installed one of these on my daughters new townhouse. After 48 hours of maddening set up including multiple calls to tech support, I finally got it to full functionality. Tech support was excellent. They stuck with me through a couple of unusual issues and once we got it working, it has been great.

Great upgrade for Arlo Wireless camera system
on November 6, 2017
Posted by: MNTim

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had the "original" Arlo wireless camera system for 2 years now. I need another camera to expand coverage so I decided to buy the new Arlo Pro HD camera with the new base station to give me a long term upgrade path. My experience is that the new base station has better range than the original base station and connects more quickly to the cameras. In all, a very worthwhile upgrade.

Love it, Love it, Love it!

Bought this a replacement for an older Samsung sound bar that decided to retire. This new unit delivers great sound - very clear, and fantastic bass for TV and movies (and music on the rare occasions that I use my man cave TV for music). If you are building a high end viewing/listening environment this probably won't meet your needs BUT for the typical setup (like my newly remodeled man cave with 55" LED HDTV and power recliner) this system is the perfect balance of performance and price. Highly recommend.

Great speed upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got immediate speed improvements on my TV downloads. While relatively large, these units are attractive and blend in if you give a little thought to placement. Installation was not too bad. Some of the simple steps in the quick start guide didn't go as expected but a little experimenting and I was back on track without resorting to the website or tech support line. Generally easy to install and setup. Recommend highly if you are looking for an internal speed boost (this product will NOT speed up your internet service provider line speed) to get the most out of the service your ISP supplies and/or if you are looking for larger coverage area.

Love it, works well and is entertaining

This is our second Roomba. This one is for the second floor. We have a 980 for the main level and were so impressed with it that we got one for the upper level where our Master Suite is. It worlks quite well. The one caution is that you need to be around the first few times you run one of these robotic vacuums so you can see where it has issues and remedy them. Once you do that just turn it on and forget it. We usually run them both when we go to the gym.

Good sound, not for long term wear

As other reviewers have said, these headphones can get a bit uncomfortable after an hour or so. However in the mean time, the sound is good and operation is easy. Since I rarely use headphones more than an hour or so anyway, it's not so much an issue for me but if you plan to use them for long stretches at a time, you might want to try something else.

Great time saver
on February 3, 2017
Posted by: MNTim

Verified Purchase:Yes
While expensive, this is a great time saver (and preserver of domestic harmony). We replaced our light wood floors with darker wood so the dog hairs were much more visible. It was either run the vacuum every day (no thanks) or try this little guy. The little guy it is. It has performed quite well for us. It took a few runs to learn its limitations but once we knew what it could and couldn't do, it does just what we need. Just remember, its just a computer on wheels with a vacuum attachment, not a human maid. It has limitations, it will get stuck sometimes - but, if you pay attention to it and make minor adjustments to the accessories in your house (mostly small rugs in bathrooms) and use the virtual walls that come with it you will grow to love it as much as we do. In fact, we love it so much, we bought a 960 for upstaris.
