BTF-LIGHTING C03W
Score: 81/100
Kasa Smart 3 Way Dimmer Switch
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Kasa Smart 3-Way Dimmer Switch Kit offers hub-free Wi-Fi control, Matter certification, and smooth fade-on/off for up to 150 W LED loads. It requires a neutral wire and is limited to single-pole installations, with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only connection. Perfect for tech-savvy homeowners upgrading single-pole indoor lighting.
The BTF-Lighting C03W is a 4-pin RGB PWM controller offering up to 6 A per color channel and Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth backup for robust smart-home integration. It is constrained by the need for an external power supply, RGB-only output, and lack of built-in voltage regulation. Best suited for contractors installing high-current RGB accent lighting.

Professional reviewers commend the C03W for its high-current capacity and low voltage drop over 10 m runs, noting that the Tuya-based Wi-Fi control and Alexa/Google Home compatibility make it contractor-friendly for smart-home projects. They also highlight the reliable PWM dimming but point out the lack of built-in voltage regulation and the RGB-only limitation as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users appreciate the ease of cutting the strips to custom lengths, the strong adhesive backing, and the wide operating temperature range, while repeatedly mentioning the need for a separate power supply and occasional solder joints. Shipping hassles such as customs duties also surface as common complaints.
“customized scheduling and brightness control”
Professional sources such as B&H and TP-Link documentation praise the Kasa dimmer for its easy installation, smooth fade functionality, and robust app and voice control features. The lack of a required hub and Matter certification are noted as strong points for integration into existing smart-home setups.
While direct user reviews are absent, the available information suggests consumers appreciate the convenience of app-driven scheduling, the gentle fade transitions, and the ability to control lights via voice assistants.
