Tags: #First Installation
Model: Kasa HS200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

My issue is similar to this one:

https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/175604

 

I have neutral white wires, ground copper wires connected with a green screw on the old light switch. and two black wires representing load/live wires.

I labelled all of them and then connected to new smart switch HS200; however, after I turned on the breakers, it only blinked orange and did not blink orange/amber and green.

Hence, I could not finish the setup. Please help.

For others,

I found the solution via this webpage:

My issue was I had multiple white wires for neutral connected via wire nut. I removed one of the white wire from the bundle and connected to the white wire from the Kasa smart switch. With this setup it was not working. After reading the article above, I felt that I should have used the entire white wire bundle instead of just one. When I did that, it worked.
