Which Kasa wall switches and dimmers should I buy?

Kasa's wall controls are the KS200 and KS220, the KS205 and KS225, and the HS200, HS210 and HS220. The KS200 and KS220 are the native-HomeKit models. The KS205 and KS225 are the Matter versions, which reach HomeKit, Alexa and Google Home through Matter.

The HS200, HS210 and HS220 list Alexa and Google Assistant only. These switches are for US wall boxes. Kasa states a neutral wire is required on every model except the HS210 and KS200M, where Kasa does not say. The motion models are single-pole only. The M in KS200M means motion, not Matter.

Identify a model

Kasa sells the same switch under several numbers. The model is on the box and the back of the switch.

Apple's HomeKit list names these as "Kasa Smart Light Switch" and "Kasa Smart Dimmer Switch" without model numbers. The model on the box identifies the switch. The HS200, HS210 and HS220 remain in Kasa's lineup alongside the KS models. Kasa does not list HomeKit or Matter for them.
