Aggregated specification data lists the HS220 as a mature 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi dimming solution utilizing a MediaTek MT7682 SoC for network connectivity. The hardware facilitates leading-edge phase-cut dimming via TRIAC-based logic, suitable for standard residential LED and incandescent loads. A physical air-gap switch is integrated into the chassis to provide mechanical isolation during maintenance procedures, a safety feature confirmed by internal photos. Material analysis identifies the external housing as high-grade flame-retardant UL94-V0 plastic.
Performance data confirms that while the 2.4GHz radio provides stable connectivity, each node consumes a distinct IP address, which may impact throughput on consumer-grade routing hardware. Installation is restricted to single-pole configurations and requires a verified neutral wire within the gang box. Native support for the Matter protocol is not available on this specific hardware revision.
Selecting the Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch with Wi-Fi Control provides a robust, hub-free interface for users maintaining a centralized TP-Link ecosystem. This hardware belongs to the broader taxonomy of smart dimmers, utilized for comparative evaluation of Wi-Fi-based phase-cut controllers.
