This 4 pack of Tapo Matter dimmer switches is mainly appealing for app based lighting control and easy scheduling, with Matter over Wi Fi and a familiar Tapo app. The switches are reported to work well with LED recessed lights, and the dimming control has been solid for some installs. The main limits are that these are 2.4 gigahertz only, do not support true hard wired 3 way switching, and some lights may not be dimmer compatible. The bottom only tap control also takes some getting used to, making it a practical smart switch option if your wiring and bulbs fit.
Common Questions (5)
These dimmer switches do not support traditional hard-wired 3-way switching. They can be used for a software-based 3-way setup by programming one switch to trigger another over Wi‑Fi, but that requires network connectivity and separate setup for each switch.
It can work without flickering on LED recessed can lights, but compatibility depends on the specific lights and some fixtures may not be dimmer-compatible. Checking the bulb or fixture compatibility is important before installing.
Yes, it uses 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi only. It does not support 5 GHz, which is typical for smart switches because 2.4 GHz gives better range for low-data IoT devices.
It is Matter over Wi‑Fi, not Thread. That means it uses your Wi‑Fi network for connectivity rather than a Thread mesh.
Yes, the 4-pack is only at Best Buy in this deal, and it is priced better than the 2-pack sold at Amazon.

Are these supporting 3-way (controlling/turning On/Off 2 different switches in 2 different locations such as: Garage and Patio and/or Up stair/Down-stair) ?
Just keep in mind it isn't exactly the same as a traditional 3-way setup. The switches aren't hard-wired to the same load, so it won't work if your wifi goes down, though using a local Matter hub can keep things running even if your actual internet is out (you will need separate programming other than the smart action in tapo app for this to work). Tapo does sell a 3-way smart dimmer kit that handles this better, but it's not cheap.

Thanks for the detail info.
What I meant by 3-way is the neutral wire (white color I think) that comes with the switch in order for it to work and the 3-way is always is always more expensive than the model without it.
I had both models without and with 3-way switches from Belkin and Wemo. I was an early adopter and had those original switches like 10 years ago or so (they did not have 3-way smart switch back then before the 3-way switch came out later).
So Tapo owns by TP-Link now?
Who owned it before and it was Kasa ?
Who own smart switches from D-Link and some other smart switches/plugs devices by Amazon (When they had bundle sell with smart devices/light bulbs, etc.) which I bought and collecting dust somewhere in the house and not sure if they are still working and supported!
I hate to have tons of devices that in one ecosystem then the company stops supporting them after a while such as Google Nest (earlier generation of Thermostat) and now Wemo from Belkin (stopped working by Jan 31 which I re-set up most of them with Apple Home (some very old ones I could not set up since no codes to scan, etc.) but the Google Home linked to the Wemo apps didn't carry over and so some the old Wemo devices from Belkin stopped working completely and are bricks now!).
Hope this won't happy with Tapo ? at least in the new future 5-10 more years down the road.

sounds like you are looking for tapo S515 (non-dimmer). You only need one of those to replace a single switch in your existing 3-way or 4-way setup to make it smart, so it should replace your wemo switches. If you want dimming, you'd need the S515D kit, which must replace both ends with the included master and satellite switches (the master needs a neutral wire, but the satellite doesn't).
btw, a neutral wire is generally required for most smart switches (single-pole or 3-way). There are premium no-neutral options like Lutron Caseta, but they definitely cost more. I thought, by the additional wire for 3-way switches, you mean the traveller wire?
Tapo and Kasa are both tplink product lines. Kasa was originally for North America and Tapo for Europe/Asia, but they've been merging lately. D-Link is a totally separate company.
I totally get the frustration with companies dropping support. You should look for Matter-compatible devices (Tapo or other brands) and set them up via Matter so they work locally across brands without the cloud. other local protocols like zigbee or zwave is also an option. Otherwise, Lutron if you have the budget, or you could look into Home Assistant stuff (you might be able to bring your wemo and nest devices back to life if you are willing to mess with it).

The switches were on my IoT VLAN. Don't think it played a role, but maybe?
