@Carl Thanks Carl.  This seems to be the standard tp-link beta test form tp-link has been using for testing routers and switches, how do they know that the person filling out this form wants to test out dimmers?

@Carl 

Yeah, I know you mentioned it awhile back, I was referring to the official announcement.

I somehow missed when I ordered a set of 3 way switches, that they weren't dimmable..  I realized that today when I installed one. So I thought, well I'll just order dimmable ones.  Which led me here..  Huge disappointment they're not yet available.  I wish I went with another brand!

Dumb question I'm sure I already know the answer to, but figured I'd ask anyway:

 

The 3-way dimmer kit shown in the link contains a pair of switches.  There are other solutions out there that only require one side of the 3-way setup to be replaced, leaving the other side as a dumb switch.  Are there any plans to sell single 3-way dimmable switches that will work with existing switches on the other end?

@fairlybasictech That is the way I've wired two of them on my end.  With legacy switch on the non-hot side of the circuit and the TPLink switch on the hot side.

@Paul92029 

 

Same from.  The choose participants based on the answers given and what they specifically need for the specific beta test.  I do not know if that product will have a beta test but if it does then that is the form to fill out.

@fairlybasictech  if I understand what TP Link is showing is a three-way approach using a new three-way dimmable switch with an existing kasa smart dimmer switch. Therefore if you have an existing smart dimmer it could become part of a three-way circuit by adding a new three-way smart switch. I am assuming when a three-way system is available it will come with a smart three-way switch and a standard smart dimmer switch. When you wire the two together you will have a dimmable circuit with two switches that can both control on/off and dimming. If this is their intended approach they should also consider selling just the new smart three-way switch alone so it can be added to an existing smart dimmer switch to create a three-way circuit.

Exciting news! My 3-way kitchen switches can wait for the new kit.

@JustinG 

I'm also thinking about this way, does it work finally?
