Set the Perfect Ambiance For Any Activity with Amazon Alexa and Kasa Wi-Fi Smart Light Switch Dimmer (HS220)
Automating certain features of our home with smart devices is the best decision we have ever made. We love utilizing the best of tech that our innovation has to offer. It sure has help simplify day to day task, activities, as well as chores. Personally, as a mom, a wife, and a business owner … I can only do so much on my own. Thus, the extra appreciation for TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch / Dimmer HS220 and Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as it provides the helping hand I could really use in a digital way.
Truth be told, I did wonder when some old folks have expressed that our generation may be getting “lazier” and I had to sit down at one point and really think things through. Then it came to me … just because I am utilizing the best in technology doesn’t mean I am lazy. In fact, I am simply being SMART and I am also making the most of my time. Multi-tasking day to day is no easy feat. In fact, it comes with its own challenges. I am not a pre-programmed computer that would have no flaws. I will forget things. I will make mistakes. Needless to say, I will also feel overwhelmed from time to time and be exhausted. These things are normal and quite typical in most household. But how do I manage? With smart devices of course!
One great example is having to utilize the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch / Dimmer and controlling it with Amazon Alexa. There are instances where I would realize that I have forgotten to turn off the lights in our home before running some errands. Instead of letting the energy go to waste (and hiking up our power bill), I’d simply turn off the lights with convenient remote access using the Alexa app on my mobile phone. What’s great about these smart gadgets is that they keep getting smarter.
TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch / Dimmer HS220
First, let’s discuss the amazing features that made our family truly be fond of the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch / Dimmer. I can’t stress enough how much I love having this in our home. Now we can easily control our home environment and have the ability to set the PERFECT ambiance for any type of activity. It is also super simple to set-up with an easy step-by step guide installation provided in the Kasa app. The following features has helped us in so many ways that we can imagine …
Easy Installation Process
Scheduling
Effortlessly set the lights to automatically turn on or off while you are home or away. Changes in the family’s routine? No problem. This is especially perfect for families like ours as my have an hubby’s ever-changing work hours and swing shifts.
The scheduling feature allows us to program multiple ambient settings for a specific time in a day. It also features a dimmer for maximum precision and personally … helps set the right mood at the right time.
No Hub Required
Easily connect directly to your secured home Wi-Fi network
Wireless-N technology
This feature deserves commendation as not all wireless access runs the same. In fact, some require more than usual … but not the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi light switch as it is backward compatible with 802.11b/g standards for simple wireless access! That’s a big PLUS.
Turn the Lights On or Off from Anywhere!
While the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch / Dimmer is compatible with leading voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Microsoft Cortana … I personally prefer to use Alexa. With that being said, I use the Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) to achieve Hands Free Voice Control.
Amazon Echo (3rd Gen)
So why did we choose the Echo Dot? The following features are what we have grown to appreciate …
Made for any room
Aesthetically speaking and for someone who loves to keep a certain look and style in our home, the Amazon Echo Dot blends well in our décor. We can place the Dot in the bedroom or living without looking out of place or obtrusive.
Voice-control your smart home
It goes without being said … we can control our smart home and devices with just our voice! We can switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, dim the lights, turn up the thermostat, play music in certain room such as the nursery, and even make hands-free call to instantly connect to another compatible device!
Alexa always getting smarter
The more you use Dot, the more it adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal references. And because Echo Dot is always connected, updates are delivered automatically.
To sum it all up, utilizing smart devices is the “SMART” way to go and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Ready to automate your home too? Get the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch / Dimmer HS220 and Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) at Best Buy!

August 21, 2019I use Alexa with a Dot for work and its amazing. It answers my question quickly and finds the best current answer. This post opened my eye that I can use it for so much more if I connect it to my smart t.v. or entertainment system. I am going to buy a few of these dimmer switches for my condo.
