It is the plain on/off switch, rated for 600W of incandescent load and a 1/6 HP motor, against 300W on the dimmer, and it is the cheaper of the pair. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 is the dimmer: it adds smooth dimming with a low-end calibration that removes flicker on LED bulbs, adjustable fade speeds and an indicator LED you can dim or turn off, rated for 150W of LED or CFL. Everything else is shared, from the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with no hub and the Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant support to the neutral wire requirement, single pole wiring, identical size and the 2 year warranty. Pick the TP-Link Kasa HS200 for switching, and the TP-Link Kasa HS220 for any room where you want to dim the lights.

What the differences mean

Switch or dimmer

The TP-Link Kasa HS200 only turns a light on and off. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 dims it, with calibration for your bulbs, fade on and fade off speeds and brightness presets.

What each can power

The TP-Link Kasa HS200 handles 600W of incandescent load and a 1/6 HP motor, so it can run a small fan. The TP-Link Kasa HS220 is rated for 300W incandescent or 150W of LED or CFL, and a dimmer is not for motors.

Indicator light

Both have a status LED. On the TP-Link Kasa HS220 you can adjust it or switch it off from the app, which suits a bedroom; that control is not documented on the TP-Link Kasa HS200.

Everything else

Same size, same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with no hub, same Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant support, both need a neutral wire and both are single pole only. Neither works with Apple Home or Matter.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both Kasa switches say the same things first: the app walks even beginners through the wiring, the switches stay connected for years and recover on their own after a power cut, and sunrise and sunset schedules keep outdoor lights right through the seasons. Both groups also name the neutral wire as the biggest obstacle and describe squeezing a bulky body into a crowded box. Past that, TP-Link Kasa HS200 owners single out range, one running it in a detached metal shop and another in a barn at the edge of the signal, plus a locator LED that helps find the switch in the dark. TP-Link Kasa HS220 owners talk about the dimming itself, smooth with no dead zone once calibrated, and the fade speeds, while one reports two units drifting in brightness after a couple of months.

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.
