This review is for the V2 version of this switch, which I purchased after returning the defective V1 version of this switch (make sure you filter Amazon's aggregated reviews for V1 and V2 to make sure you are seeing the right reviews - shame on you Amazon).
This V2 version of the switch works perfectly - TP-Link made physical design changes to the wiring between V1 and V2 and those change seem to have corrected all the issues that the V1 version had (V1 shares a single terminal for the load and traveler 2 on the satellite switch, and V2 has separate terminals for load and traveler 2 on the satellite switch - a clear indication that the V1 design is defective).
I had no issues getting this V2 version to work - it even fixes an issue with the V1 satellite where the V1 satellite switch had a noticeably brighter LED light in the switch as compared to the rest of the TP-Link "family" of Kasa dimmers and on/off switches - the V2 satellite now has comparable LED brightness in the satellite switch - a bit of an aesthetic nit-pick I know, but I have the V2 satellite in a 4 gang wall box with 3 other TP-Link Kasa dimmers, and the V1 satellite's noticeably brighter LED stood out as compared to the other 3 switches in the 4 gang box - the V2 satellite in this kit addresses that.
So basically this V2 kit fixes all the issues with the V1 kit (notably that the V1 kit DOES NOT WORK). I'm happy with the V2 kit, but honestly the V1 kit should no longer be manufactured or sold.
