Built-in WiFi connectivity allows users to maintain better control over the functionality of the switch, while manual controls on the unit enable impromptu changes to be made. The TP-Link Kasa Smart Light Switch is compatible with If This Then That (IFTTT) system programming and also features compatibility with Google Assistant, [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-automation-switch) Alexa and [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-security-platform) Cortana voice assistants.
