No, not with this system. One of the switches is a master switch and the other is a slave switch.

For those asking about whether this 3 way dimmer kit can be used to make multiple 3 way setups "smart" dimming, the answer is no. The 3 way dimmer kit requires that both 3 way "dumb" switches be replaced by both of the switches in this kit - the "main" dimmer switch is installed in the box where the power comes in (line in), and the "satellite" dimmer switch goes in the other box, which just has 2 travelers and a load wire.

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 Smilie

That's for the regular 3way switch. Not the dimmer version. I bought this set a few weeks ago thinking it would be same as their 3 way switch that I had setup a while ago. But nope, I needed having to replace the other 3 switches in the quad gang with decora switches because of that. Not a big deal though.

Can we still use one kasa switch and 1 dumb switch or you would need to use 2 smart switches with this one?

You can use a dumb switch for the second one. This package will help you replace two different three way switches

Not compatible with HomeKit. They don't make one that is 3 way for HomeKit yet. Just thought to mention in case someone is looking for HomeKit compatibility

I literally just purchased this 3way switch by itself, no kit, from Amazon two days ago. I don't have it it, but I did verify that you can have one smart switch and one dumb switch. The smart switch has to be installed in the box where you have a neutral available. If you aren't good with electrical stuff, there will be a few white wires bundled together behind the existing switch.

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).

The TPlink smart switches are by far the best value. I have about 15 in my house. They work great.

Thanks! That's how I installed the non-dimming three ways switches, good to hear the dimming three ways allow for this.

Yes, if you meat the requirements of having a neutral. I bought 1 kit and am using on two seperate circuits.

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.

Ok, I'm not sure anymore. I've only installed the non dimming one in the past. Maybe the dimming one is different?

As someone else said, this is true of the regular switches, but it does not appear to be true for the dimmers at least without digging further into it. They are more like the GE et al switches where the second switch is a dumb microswitch pack specific to the master switch. The regular non-dimmer ones that is not the case and you can double up those kits (just did in my house).
