TP-Link expands HomeKit collection with new smart plugs & switches

TP-Link has announced new additions to its HomeKit-compatible Kasa ecosystem, including two smart light switches and a smart outdoor plug.

The company provides networking and smart home products for consumers, and its latest products help HomeKit users add more functionality to their homes.

Kasa KS220 & Kasa KS200

The Kasa KS220 is a smart Wi-Fi light switch and dimmer, while the Kasa KS200 is the same but without a dimmer. With the new products, users can use the Kasa app or Siri to set timers, schedule away mode, and control lights, ceiling fans, and other appliances.

Existing Kasa users can access more advanced controls, such as grouping with other Kasa devices. The KS220 also offers a brightness control to fade lighting on with a click of the switch or gently fade off with a double-click.

The Kasa KS220 is available through Amazon for $27.99. Shoppers can buy the Kasa KS200 for $24.99.

Kasa EP40A

This product is an IP64-rated waterproof and dustproof outdoor plug that can handle rough weather conditions. It can fully integrate into a HomeKit ecosystem, letting users ask Siri to turn lights on or off.

It offers long-range Wi-Fi coverage of up to 300 feet without obstructions and loads up to 1,875 watts of power. The plug can support appliances such as outdoor furnaces and swimming pool pumps.
