The Kasa ES20M motion sensor switch is best for hands free lighting and automation, especially in bathrooms, closets, hallways, laundry rooms, garages, and kitchens. It can trigger lights or fans on motion, then dim or shut them off on a timer, with useful schedules like lower brightness at night and full brightness in the morning. The convenience angle comes through clearly, and the price is often compared favorably with other motion or dimmer switches. The main concern is reliability, with repeated reports of lockups, fail closed behavior, and firmware problems that sometimes require a breaker reset or replacement.

  • Firmware can cause lockups and non-responsive behavior that may require manual restart or breaker resets.

  • Some failures can leave the switch stuck in a closed state, preventing manual power-off when lights remain on.

  • Reliability issues can be worse for early batches and some 3-way setups, with ES20M singled out for problems.

  • Connectivity and network compatibility can be fragile, including guidance to use 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and VLAN isolation.

  • Firmware update behavior can be confusing because the app may not show build numbers clearly, making it hard to verify patches.

A lot of things are not on a switch and the box in the wall and code is designed to handle a faulty device. Tons of electronics fail. I see your point but stretching
mostly agree, this is a stretch, tho I will add that the dimming isn't pwm (guessing variable resistor) and with a high enough current load, the switch will get toasty. Toasty enough to start a fire? doubt it.

What is the firmware version number they gave you, is it the same as updating from its app? the ES20M I have Hardware version 1.0 and still on the old Firmware 1.0.9Not going to upgrade because it did not help last time, unless the latest one really fixed the freeze up issue!I would replace it with another big brand but there isnt out there (Motion + Dimmable + Smart all in one) for now.
Do not update the firmware if it is fine.

The app auto updates to v1.1.6
One of the problems with the app, they don't show build number. So you don't know if they are patched or not. If I didn't happen to see the firmware push I wouldn't have a build number and would never knew the change. The auto update and push firmware have the same version number and look the same in the app.
