BTF-LIGHTING DR03W
Score: 81/100Rankings
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 DR03W is a versatile Wi-Fi/BT controller for addressable LED strips, supporting up to 720 pixels and many voice assistants. Its drawbacks include incompatibility with non-addressable strips and a modest 12 A current ceiling. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts needing rich effects and multi-protocol 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.
