3 way Dimmer switch?
Does TP-Link have any plans in the near future to release a 3-way dimmer switch? I have the HS200 and HS220. I would love it if the HS220 had the 3Way capability.

Hi @Hildebr287,
Thanks for the update. Everyone else in the forum seems to have the opposite issue with the nightlight always off. Regardless, the toggle to have the nightlight on or off in the Kasa app is ignored by the remote, but the main switch works fine.
Out of curiosity, is your remote nightlight brighter than the main switch and other Kasa switches or exactly the same intensity?

Quick update this morning. Firmware v1.10 seems to have fixed the stability issues I was having. After constantly turning off and needing to be reset, I haven't had a single issue in the week after installing the new firmware so I'm dropping items 5 and 6 on my list of issues. It appear that the Wi-Fi and lost connections were due to some recent instability with my Google Wi-Fi mesh routers. I discovered they were failing for a number of minutes and then coming back online. 78 other devices on my network would automatically reconnect to the Wi-Fi network as soon as it came back up. In fact, I didn't even realize anything was wrong until the Wi-Fi started going down for more than several minutes at a time (just assumed it was Spectrum). The KS230 main switch which needed multiple physical resets during the day until the v1.10 firmware.
So there are just four issues left. @Carl, can we get the double-click working again and get the remote nightlight turned off? The other two are just cosmetic.
1. The round nightlight is always on (or off for other forum users) regardless of whether the lights are on or off.
2. The remote round nightlight is much brighter than other Kasa switches including the main switch. (hopefully not a manufacturing defect)
3. The dim level LEDs on the main switch don't all light up to the left like all the other Kasa switches with the v1.09 or v1.10 updates installed.
4. Double Tapping the switch doesn't work (by design to get v1.10 stability improvements out the door) and behaves like a single tap to turn the lights on or off. (I miss going to full bright on a double-click!)

I can confirm the light on my remote is always on as well.

Thanks @Garage223. How about the brightness compared to the main switch?

@Garage223, it's not obviously different like mine in the picture below?

@Relayer1956 a 4-way switch just sits between 2 3way switches. If TP-Link had a 3-way dimmer you can just put it at one end or the other and leave the other dumb switchs

@ahaer You can't do this. Smart switches don't use standard wiring. They need a constant hot and neutral to operate.
