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 GHome SW5-4 is a Wi-Fi on/off smart switch that handles up to 1800 W without a hub and integrates with Alexa and Google Assistant. It lacks dimming, needs a neutral wire, and cannot be used in 3-way setups. Suitable for users needing simple high-load control.

Professional reviewers highlight the GHome SW5-4 as a solid, safety-certified smart switch with strong voice-assistant integration and a high load capacity, but they caution that the mandatory neutral wire, lack of dimming, and 3-way incompatibility limit its applicability in many existing homes.
Users appreciate the reliable voice-assistant support and remote scheduling, yet the most common complaint centers on the heavy push required to operate the switch, which many find inconvenient compared to standard switches.
“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.
