What the differences mean
Neutral wire
The Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Double works in boxes without a neutral, which is common in older homes. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 requires a neutral wire, and owners say that is the most common reason it will not fit.
Hub or Wi-Fi
The TP-Link Kasa HS200 connects straight to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with no hub. The Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Double is Zigbee and needs a hub: an Aqara hub for most platforms, or a SmartThings hub, which pairs with it directly.
Number of circuits
The Aqara controls two circuits from one plate, and either rocker can be decoupled to trigger scenes. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 is a single-pole switch for one light and cannot replace a 3-way circuit.
Apple Home and Matter
The Aqara reaches Apple Home and Matter through an Aqara hub. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 supports neither, so it is not an option for an Apple Home household.
Warranty
TP-Link covers the TP-Link Kasa HS200 for 2 years, Aqara covers its switch for 1 year.
Which one to buy if
- your switch box has no neutral wire
The Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Double is built for exactly that; the TP-Link Kasa HS200 needs a neutral.
- you do not want to buy a hub
The TP-Link Kasa HS200 connects to Wi-Fi on its own and works with Alexa and Google Home directly.
- your home runs on Apple Home
The Aqara reaches Apple Home through an Aqara hub; the TP-Link Kasa HS200 has no Apple Home support.
- the light is in a detached garage or workshop at the edge of your Wi-Fi
TP-Link Kasa HS200 owners report it holding its connection on weak signals in barns and shops.

What owners say
Owners of both switches describe a quick swap for the old switch and reliable day-to-day use, and both groups rely on schedules and automations. Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Double owners single out that it works in older boxes without a neutral, and use the second button in wireless mode to trigger scenes; they complain about buttons that feel mushier than a standard rocker, the need for an Aqara hub, and some mention flicker or a less stable link than the with-neutral version. TP-Link Kasa HS200 owners praise how it holds its Wi-Fi connection even in detached workshops and barns, sunrise and sunset schedules and the locator LED, while their warnings are the neutral wire, a bulky body in crowded boxes, single-pole only and fiddly pairing on merged-band routers.
