Nice price.... maybe I'm overlooking it, but any TPLink/Kasa smart switches that are light and fan combo? Want to stick with TPLink/Kasa if possible.

Not that I'm aware of. I wish they offered one, as I have a number of their on/off and dimmer switches installed, and would love to stay in their ecosystem/app to smarten up 4 fan/light combos in our 4 bedrooms.

These are hands down the best smart switches if you have a neutral. There's nothing jaw dropping about them outside of that they just work.

no light/fan combo yet though I did read they are working on a switch specific for fans. If you just want a fan on/off, you can use this switch but if you want to control speed, you'd have to do that either at the fan or not at all.

Eh. Debatable. While I did like them and the fact that in a 3-way config, you only need one smart switch and the other can be a dumb switch--Which drove the cheap up-front cost even lower, what I HATED was the cumbersome setup process. A single switch would take between 1-3 minutes to connect and occasionally timeout, sometimes taking up to 5 minutes...

I Also had to upgrade my router to be able to support more than 32 devices simultaneously. Even with the same network ID, password and security-type, I had to add each TP link device again--Ok, expected I guess. Then the new router locked up a couple minutes after adding my last smart device, then factory reset itself. I set up the exact network ID/PW once again and STILL had to manually add the TP Link devices individually. The router reset 2 more times over the next day. My frustration level with the router itself was off the charts but it made me realized that while I liked my 3 TP link switches, It was too much of a pain in the ass and a waste of time to manually add each one to a new network. I use Lutron now. Not cheap but setup is a breeze and I never have to deal with adding devices again if I change my network settings.

I've also used FEIT smart bulbs for about 3 years now. They will "reset" if someone flips a light switch on-off-on-off-on in quick succession and start flashing. I can just go in the app and it will search for lights to add. They ALL pop up and I can add any amount of lights in maybe 1 minute and the device name is remembered. If the TP link devices had this ability, it would be a FAR superior product.

I got 30ish switches by purchasing the 3-pack a couple months ago. Definitely the better deal. Even if you're only upgrading one or two, it's a good idea to have a couple backups on hand to replace failed devices. Only drawback of the 3-pack is warranty claims require you to send all three units back to get replacements, so you should probably keep up with which serial numbers are installed where if you install several and plan to be able to use the warranty. I didn't plan for that, so I just have some spares for redundancy.

The three pack is the best deal. I have a mix of TP-Link and Feit switches. Apps work fine on both. Feit has a problem working with Alexa. Feit had the only dimmer at the time of purchase.

Having recent experience with so many smart devices, I'd recommend a router that can support multiple networks on different channels, or multiple routers/access points to accomplish the same, so that you can have some of them on channel 1, some on 11, and some on 6 if you've got more. Then run all your other devices on a 5Ghz only SSID if at all possible. Even shunting my phones and computers to 5Ghz has made a big difference in the consistency of my switches working.

Edited to add: You're right about the setup, though. It's absolutely dismal if you are trying to set up multiple devices at one time. I had the electrician install all of mine at once, and it took me 3 hours to get everything connected correctly, having to redo the process 3 times or more on some switches and having to move the switch back and forth into easy or pro mode until it connected.
