The 3 way on/off "kit" is really not a kit but a 2 pack, and each of the switches in the 2 pack can be used to smarten up two separate 3 way circuits - only one smart switch is required in a 3 way on/off setup. Interestingly, the 3 way on/off switch can also be used in a 4 way switch setup (3 or more switches controlling a light/lights). The on/off 2 pack is often priced lower than the single 3 way on/off, so if you need to smarten up more than one 3 way setup, it can be a better deal per unit to get the 2 pack rather than the single switch. The smart 3 way on/off gets installed in the box where the power comes in (line in), and the other existing "dumb" 3 way switch can be left in place.
Lots of bolding in my post - that's for distinguishing the 3 way dimmers from the 3 way on/offs - i'm not yelling

There are comments in the reviews that say that a two gang cover plate doesn't attach to this switch, as the holes aren't threaded. So buyer beware if you're trying to install this in a box with more than one switch. I can't verify this yet.
Edit: Just read through this 'kit', it does require both smart switches to be installed for the same light. One is the main and the other a 'satellite' they call it. When I was checking out the single 3way that I purchased, there seemed to be some 'hidden features' by double or triple tapping the switch. This is supposed to activate other features set up in the app, like turning on your outdoor lights (that are also using smart Kasa switches).

I suggest using a multimeter to verify that you have a neutral and an active hot.
Note on my second circuit I had to bring in new wiring to achieve this.
In the first circuit I used it on an outside spot on a 4 way.
