Use the HS200 Restart button once; this does not erase settings.

Wait for reconnection

The LED may change amber and blink green while reconnecting.

4

Reconfigure only if needed

Use the documented reset duration and Kasa app if credentials changed.

Know where to stop

This is a line-voltage wall switch. Do not remove the faceplate or touch wiring unless the circuit is off and you are qualified.

When to call a technician or support
