Technical specifications for the KP405 detail a TRIAC-based dimming circuit optimized for LED and incandescent loads. The unit is rated for 300W incandescent or 150W LED capacity. Material analysis confirms an IP64-rated enclosure, providing resistance against splashing water. The 2.4GHz Wi-Fi module is tuned for signal penetration through exterior facades.
Performance metrics demonstrate smooth dimming from 1% to 100% and support for "Gentle Off" fade transitions. The device is accessible via local protocols for hub-based automation, though it lacks Matter certification in this specific revision.
- PWM-to-TRIAC dimming to prevent LED flicker.
- Local-control accessibility for low-latency automation.
- Splash-resistant structural design.
Operational requirements specify that only dimmable bulbs be used to prevent damage to the TRIAC circuit. Vertical mounting is necessary to maintain the IP64 weather resistance rating.
The Kasa Matter Smart Outdoor Plug is an alternative for those prioritizing local-first Matter interoperability over dimming functionality.
This unit is professionally indexed under smart dimmers for outdoor applications.
