Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Double vs TP-Link Kasa HS220

What owners say

Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Double owners bought it specifically because a previous smart switch would not work without a neutral wire, and they describe swapping in the old dumb switch and wiring the Aqara unit in minutes with no extra conductor needed. Pairing to Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home or Home Assistant through the Aqara hub goes smoothly for most, and several use the wireless switch mode to trigger scenes from the second button rather than a physical load. The recurring complaint is button feel, described as softer and mushier than a standard rocker, which a few call a fair trade for a switch with no neutral-load safety margin to work with. TP-Link Kasa HS220 owners, by contrast, praise a fifteen-minute install guided by the app, dimming calibration that removes flicker on mixed LED bulbs, and adjustable fade timing they use nightly, while flagging the neutral wire requirement, a deep rear body in a crowded box and, for a couple of owners, brightness drifting after a few months.
