It is on and off only, carries a 2 year warranty, and answers Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant over 2.4 GHz. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch is the one that still works when that neutral was never pulled: it dims, talks Clear Connect to a Lutron hub, and returns to the previous level after a power cut. Buy the TP-Link Kasa HS200 for a simple hub-free swap. Buy the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch for older wiring, dimming, or Apple Home.

What the differences mean

Neutral wire

The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch is a two-wire dimmer, so a box with no neutral can still take it. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 will not finish the install without a neutral, which is the usual block in older homes.

Dimming versus on and off

The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch dims up to 600 W of incandescent or halogen and up to 150 W of dimmable LED, and it can return to the previous level after a cut. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 is a straight on and off switch, rated for 15 A general use, 600 W incandescent and a 1/6 HP motor. It does not dim.

Radio and hub

The TP-Link Kasa HS200 joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi by itself, which is why it wins the connectivity comparison. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch has no Wi-Fi, Zigbee or Thread of its own. It speaks Clear Connect to a Lutron hub, and nothing is smart until that hub is on the network.

Platforms and warranty

The TP-Link Kasa HS200 reaches Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, not Apple Home or Matter, and the warranty is 2 years. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch reaches those same assistants plus Apple Home, all through the Lutron hub, and Matter is not supported. Its warranty is 1 year.

What owners say

Owners of both wall switches describe a short install and a switch that stays put, then they praise different kinds of reliability. TP-Link Kasa HS200 owners talk about wiring and pairing in minutes, including switches that hold a connection out in a workshop or a barn, and about units that come back on their own after a power cut. They keep flagging the neutral, the bulky rear module and the single-pole limit. Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch owners talk about years of operation across a whole house and credit Clear Connect for staying up when Wi-Fi does not. Their warnings are the hub sold separately, a wallplate that is not in the box, fussy two-wire dimming on some LEDs, and green status lights that cannot be turned off.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wall switch comes out ahead, the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch or the TP-Link Kasa HS200?

The TP-Link Kasa HS200, when a neutral is present and you want an on-off switch with no hub. It wins on Wi-Fi connectivity and a 2 year warranty. The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch is the one to buy for no-neutral boxes, dimming and Apple Home through a Lutron hub.

Can the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch replace a TP-Link Kasa HS200 in an old box?

Often yes, because the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch does not need a neutral and the TP-Link Kasa HS200 does. You also change jobs: the Lutron dims and needs its hub, while the Kasa is on-off Wi-Fi only.

Do both of these wall switches work with Apple Home?

Only the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch, and only once a Lutron hub is added. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 does not support Apple Home or Matter. Both can reach Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, the Kasa directly and the Lutron through its hub.

Which one dims the lights?

The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch. It is rated to 600 W incandescent or 150 W dimmable LED. The TP-Link Kasa HS200 is an on and off switch with no dimming.

Who should buy the TP-Link Kasa HS200?

Anyone with a neutral and a single-pole circuit who wants schedules, Away Mode and voice control without buying a hub first. It is a poor fit for a 3-way hallway or for a home built on Apple Home.

Who should buy the Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch?

Anyone retrofitting dimming into a box with no neutral, or building a house of Caseta devices that should keep responding when Wi-Fi drops. Budget for the Lutron hub and a separate wallplate.
