Tp link 3 way switch no neutral. Great product and the make is good. A single pole switch tp link smart switch is not 3 way switch. The most common question i get is can i use a regular 3 way switch with a smart switch.

Option 1 run a neutral wire if you want to use smart switches and don t have a neutral wire in your switch box you can hire an electrician to run a neutral wire between the light fixture and the switch.
Two of the wires will be the current carrying wires that power the light. I purchased the hs200 and hs210 and this review is for hs210. You can also have an electrician rewire the switch and light fixture which is potentially more expensive.
You should be good to go with any smart switch. If you open your switch box and you see two white wires joined with a wire nut not connected to the switch you can be fairly sure your switch has a neutral loop. If there is no neutral line in the wall box stop installing the switch and consult with a professional electrician.
In a smart switch 3 way configuration a smaller charge is looped through the add on switch. The hot wire from the breaker usually black neutral. Tp link smart wi fi light switch for 3 way lighting no hub required works with alexa and google assistant hs210 kit if you are looking at this it is very likely that already have some kind of smart switch at home and it is more likely that they are from tp link as well.
