I am retrofitting an existing switched outlet and would like to change it to a smart setup. The outlets were for above/below cabinet lighting and are switched on/off at only 1 location. My question is can I install a HS200 to turn on the outlet, then from there control each plug? I would like to decide top and/or bottom plug so I can do top and/or bottom cabinet light. 
My wife would like to avoid the blanked plate look at the multi-gang box.

I think for what you are looking to do the KP200 would work best as you'd control each outlet on that smart plug.

@Tony  yep. Sorry I should have been clearer. I was wondering if I could use the HS200 to control power to the KP200. I have power to an outlet controlled by a regular switch now. If I put in a KP200 my switch would drop power and the option to control each outlet would not work.

You could have the HS200 control the power to the KP200, but in having the KP200 you will already control each plug or turn them both off/on. So it would be kind of redundant to have two devices doing the same thing. 

 

I would go with one or the other, but if you want to control one of the individual plugs, go with the KP200.

@Scotty9349 what's the reason for wanting to control the power to the outlet if you then control power to each plug?
