Yes, you can.

Just to add a little context to maxpower212's answer: Yes, you can. These require a neutral wire in your switch box. The neutral wire supplies currently constantly, so the switch is always available to turn on and off, provided it is connected to your wi-fi network.

So far in a few months of usage no issues. Use it with Alexa routines too

I've been using several for the last few years with 3 Ubiquiti Wireless Access Points (WAPs) in the ceiling for a 2600 sq ft two-story home. I use Kasa for the on-off ones and FEIT brand (Costco) for the dimmers. The Kasa switches work excellent. The reason I prefer FEIT for dimmers is that they are 3-way and Kasa didn't have that option. The two in unison covered my needs and look nice.

There are switches that work with out a neutral but these do not. The neutral wire does carry a load to keep the switch active, Most electrical systems installed in the last 40 years have a neutral wire, Probably cheaper to find a switch that does not need it rather than rewireing. Might be easy or difficult to pull new wires.

Ill just add that if you are looking for a switch without the neutral (which would very likely be the way you will need to go) then get the lutron, 100% worth the investment. We had about 12 switches in our house for almost 10 yrs and not once did it go down or disconnect.

Yes, you would still need the 3 way version. look at the pictures here to give you a simple explanation of 3 way switches: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

If the internet is out it will work as regular switches. They will have a blinking red wifi sign to show you the internet is down, but they will work normally. If I'm not wrong, they will keep the present state when the power cycle, or maybe off, I had some power outages and didn't have to walk around the house turning them off, but I'm not sure if the lights that was on remained on. But it will not wake you up in the middle of the night in case of outage.
Tp-Link is staying in business as far as I've read. Matter compliant devices should come out by the end of the year. I don't think they've announced if they're going to release their new products under Kasa or Tapo branding.
Everyday prices for these switches

I have some seng-led and power cycle means all the lights in my house turn on, and they don't work without internet.

It's not just a question of branding, the technology of Tapo is fundamentally different.
Not a lot to see here in the on/off and dimmer switch categories. A bit of a break on the HS200P3 on/off 3 pack at $32, but they've been sub-$30 on occasion. The pricing on the individual on/off switch, individual dimmer switch, and dimmer 3 pack are everyday pricing.
Are these smart switches easy to install on standard switch panels of 2-4 switches? As in adding one of these smart switches to standard switch panel where you don't need 4 smart switches?

If power cycles, they lose track of accurate time, so any schedules are out of sync.
They usually have a state that can be set as the default for when power comes on. Eg you can set that to off if you want.
If you only lose internet, they'll normally remember the time and any schedule and continue on.
