Model: Kasa HS200  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version:

This is my 4th HS200 install. Previous 3 have worked fine. I wired the switch and the HS200 flashes orange and green. I go to the app to add the new switch, and I can't see the device network (i.e. TP-Link_SmartSwitch_XXX). The switch isn't further from the wifi router than any of the other smart switches. If I can't ge this to work, I'm going to need to buy the equivalent Lutron product. Thanks for your help!

I wired the HS200 to another single pole switch and had the same problem. The app told me to check the package box to see if it was WiFi or bluetooth set-up. After much scrutinizing of the fine print with a magnifying glass, I finally found a small box (not where the app showed the info should be) that said "Bluetooth Fast Setup". So that was my problem all along. All the other smart switches that I have set up used WiFi set-up, and it wasn't obvious to me that this one was different. Since it is so important, I would think that they would make the distinction more evident.

In any case, I have the switch working now. I post the reply to my own problem in the hope that it may help someone else.
