2026 verdict

It installs without a neutral on 100-250V in an EU faceplate, adds Apple HomeKit and a Matter path through an Aqara hub, and supports wireless switch mode that decouples the rocker for scene control, though it needs a Zigbee hub and is rated 8A. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 is the dimmer of the pair, with app calibration that cures LED flicker and adjustable fade speeds, and it carries a 2 year warranty against 1, but it needs a neutral and has no HomeKit or Matter. Pick by wiring first: the Aqara for a no-neutral EU box, the Kasa HS220 for a neutral-wired dimmer.

What the differences mean

Switch or dimmer

The TP-Link Kasa HS220 is a dimmer, rated for 300W of incandescent and 150W of dimmable LED or CFL, with low-end calibration and adjustable fade speeds. The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single is a single-rocker on/off switch, so a fixture that must dim is not its job.

Neutral wire and region

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single needs no neutral and runs on 100-250V in an EU faceplate, at an 8A rating for resistive loads. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 needs a neutral in the box and is a 120V North American dimmer, so the wiring standard usually settles the choice on its own.

Hub requirement

The TP-Link Kasa HS220 joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly, so there is no bridge to buy. The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single is a Zigbee device that needs a Zigbee hub before it appears in an app, and its Matter support depends on an Aqara hub specifically.

Apple Home and Matter

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single supports Apple HomeKit and reaches Matter through an Aqara hub, on top of Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 supports Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant but neither Apple Home nor Matter.

Power-off memory and rocker behavior

The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral) - Single adds power-off memory, wireless switch mode that lets the rocker trigger scenes instead of cutting power, and documented overheating protection. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 documents none of those, so it restores no set state after an outage and keeps no scene mode.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

TP-Link Kasa HS220 owners describe an install the app walks them through in about fifteen minutes and dimming that is smooth with no dead zone, crediting the low-end calibration for stopping LED flicker on mixed bulbs. The extras they single out are the adjustable fade on and fade off speeds, brightness presets, sunrise and sunset schedules and Away Mode, plus a connection that reconnects on its own after a power cut. Their complaints are just as consistent: the neutral wire requirement blocks many older boxes, it is strictly single pole, the rear dimmer module is deep for a shallow box, it is 2.4 GHz and 120V only, and there is no Apple Home, no Matter and no energy monitoring. A few long-term owners also report units that drift in brightness and occasionally cut out.
