Score: 81/100
BTF-LIGHTING C01Z
Score: 85/100Rankings
The BTF-Lighting C01Z is a high-power single-color Zigbee controller with a 30 m range and very low idle draw. Its main limitation is the need for a Zigbee hub and lack of color versatility. Ideal for users already invested in a Zigbee ecosystem who need robust monochrome lighting.
The Kasa HS220P3 is a Wi-Fi smart dimmer switch that offers built-in physical dimmer buttons and hub-free voice-assistant control. It requires a neutral wire and is limited to single-pole, 2.4 GHz networks. Ideal for homeowners seeking easy installation and scheduling.

Professional reviewers emphasize the HS220P3's ease of installation thanks to the guided app setup, its ability to quickly set appropriate lighting for different occasions, and the convenience of built-in dimmer buttons. The lack of a required hub and broad voice-assistant support are also highlighted as strong points.
Everyday users commonly praise the remote control capability, voice-assistant integration, and the tactile dimmer buttons on the switch. Positive remarks focus on the simplicity of setup and the flexibility of scheduling, while the main frustrations revolve around the need for a neutral wire and the limitation to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
“Love these Kasa smart...”
“Easy setup with Tuya/Smart Life apps, strong signal for long strips (30m+ via relaying), and reliable dimming/voice control with Echo Plus or Hue.”
Professional reviewers appreciate the C01Z for its robust dual-output architecture, low idle power draw, and smooth integration with the Tuya ecosystem, highlighting its strong Zigbee range and rich automation options. However, they caution that the reliance on a Zigbee gateway and the limited monochrome-only app features may restrict its appeal to users seeking more versatile or standalone solutions.
Consumers generally find the C01Z easy to install and value its long-range signal, reliable dimming, and voice-control compatibility. Recurring frustrations center on the need for a Zigbee hub, incompatibility with certain third-party hubs like Hubitat, and the simplistic single-color app interface lacking advanced toggles.
