    Hi!!

    Here's another guide for a Kasa device!

    You will need to crack the device open with some cutting tools and say goodbye to its IP64 rating... Be Careful; I knocked off a small cap and I had to replace it. 2.2 µF 400 V is not exactly common.

    The process is the same as in Kasa's other devices, for example: https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic4098414.html

    The pads are clearly labeled on the PCB.

    and here's a basic template I came up with:
