HS220 slow coming on
Is there a way to make the HS220 turn on faster when physically pressing the switch? Currently it takes about 2 seconds to start turning on, plus the fade time. I set it to instant on in my app, which doesn't seem to affect anything, as it still fades on and has the additional delay before that.
This is a safety issue, because a light switch needs to turn on instantly when pressed, period. They figured this out in, what, the late 1800s? So why is this switch so slow to turn on? This is the case with both of my dimmer HS220s. My regular non-dimming Kasa switches seem to turn on instantly.
If there is no way to fix this, I think these should be recalled because, again, it's a safety issue. If there is an emergency, nobody has time to play around with the switch to figure out how to get it on. Also, in the dark, elderly (and really anyone) are more likely to trip on things because the light didn't come on as expected.
Also, I'd like for TP-Link to provide an explaination as to why the switch was designed this way and why people's safety is less important than...wait, why doesn't it just turn on, for gods sake?

@Solla-topee happy to see this rolling out. When can we expect to see this update on v2 and v1 models?

That did nothing. Flipped the breaker to restart the switches and pulled down on the firmware page to refresh and it is still not offering anything.

I have the KS220 and noticed the lag too. I wish I found this post before I went and installed a bunch of switch in my home.
Can Tp link release a fix for the KS220 too?
