Kasa Smart HS220P3
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch offers reliable LED dimming without a neutral wire and integrates with major voice assistants via the Caseta hub. Its need for a separate hub and lack of a built-in locator light are trade-offs. Ideal for retrofits and users invested in the Lutron ecosystem.
The Kasa HS220P3 provides hub-free Wi-Fi dimming with on-device buttons and broad voice-assistant support. It requires a neutral wire and is limited to 2.4 GHz networks and single-pole setups. Best for DIY homeowners seeking an easy, affordable smart dimmer.
