First i had the Meross 3 way switch then it caught fire and melted half of the switch. Now I have the kasa 3 way switch and it’s feeling a bit warm but not hot like the meross switch.

Should I move the switches to a different location or am I SOL? The two switches are in the same electrical box one for the hall and another for the chandelier.

    Unfortunately, that is normal. We’ve had Kasa smart plugs for five years. They get a bit warm when in use. Amazon smart plugs doo as well. I don’t know why, but these smart devices get a bit warmer than normal devices when in use. Nothing to be concerned about, Our first smart plug was purchased in October 2018 and its still being used to this day. I just yesterday pulled out another smart plug that hadn’t been used in almost a year, and hadn’t had a load on it since like 2020. I set it up, and it is now controlling a box fan in our living room. I can’t comment on any of the smart switches.
