There are a lot of things I can say about TP Link but let me keep it as simple as the system itself is a breeze to setup. Easy as 123. Download App, Follow the Prompts, Enjoy Blazing Whole Home Wi-Fi. Thats it that’s all, i was up and running in under half an hour and most of that was moving the units around trying to figure out where they made sense positioning them around the home.

I guess I’m pretty frugal, so admittedly I went for a refurbished unit and had absolutely no issues with the quality or functionality. But you can splurge if you wish.

The bottom line with this, or any other mesh setup is it eliminates multiple routers, complicated crosstalk configuration and introduces seemless coverage. If your setup requires more, you add another Deco set and poof problem solved, range extended. All Round thumbs up for this install it was within budget and stress free.

Assorted TP-Link KASA Smart Light Switches, these range from Single Pole to 3 Way, Motion/Dusk Dawn Sensor, & Dimmer.

So for all the electricians out there, I accept any and all correction. but for us regular folk, here is my basic take on these options.

1-single pole, standard one location control one circuit on off. They are available dimmable.

2-same so 3 pack

3-motion activated with built in dusk to dawn sensor software enabled sensitivity and range configurable.

4-dimmer switch 3-way kit. controls from two sides of a room, comes with base and remote switches.

depending on which is more important to you Kasa has newest models functional with apple home kit, Alexa and google.

I recommend them because of their ease of setup and use, they can be easily grouped and set on schedule,

I will provide links to the lights and awesome ceiling fans that i chose for my setup, although lighting is so personal, but it will complete the project.

In this wacky wireless world there is still room for good old fashion cables now and again.

My decision to do hard wired connection for the video streaming entertainment system was partly influenced by the amount of wireless video cameras on it.

Oops, that was a giveaway for my next segment below, but still here it goes!

You will see a TP link 5 port POE, i have that puppy setup behind the TV connected to the streaming boxes. One port will also feed the bedroom Smart TV.

Brains of this op the echo dot 5

While you can say I’m a total Newbie, do people still say that? But seriously its not like I’ve been upgrading from echo’s 1-4. This bad boy, or girl depending on your preference is full of suprises. The app on your phone or the voice commands handle all the automation commands needed, so you can manage everything from one place.

And hey, the music sound pretty awesome from a giant purple tennis ball.

What Else do i have going on?

Im Glad you asked, of course i would have some simple but awesome POYASILON CCTV Cameras connected to this setup. So far, five of them up and running.

Key Takeaway Fast Setup Easy to Navigate App Good quality.

For the Price, this unit has been living up to my expectations, the first one is over a year old and going strong.
