This is the well reviewed TP-Link 3-way smart switch at the historic low price. As previously stated, you can use the 2 switches that come in the package as independent 3-way switches; thus you are getting 2 for the price of 1. Still unsure why they package it this way but it works out for people who like to research since it makes it much more cost effective.
UPDATE 2018-12-26: Amazon is selling this as a Deal Of The Day for $54.99! A new all time low.
UPDATE 2018-12-14: Amazon dropped the price to $64.00 and then around 6:00am, raised it to it's current price of $68.98. I didn't buy though because yesterday I bought it for $64.99 during the 12% eBates promo.
UPDATE 2018-12-12: Looks like Amazon has matched the price of $64.99. Hooray for competition!
UPDATE 2018-12-12: It would appear tvisforme has inadvertently answered the question of why TP-Link includes two 3-way switches even though they work independently in two separate 3-way installations. He answered with the following when spotts01 said he had a problem with his setup:
"What happens if you put both TP-Link switches on the same circuit? I have not encountered the issue you described in our setup (with one TP-Link and one conventional switch), but I have read reports where older or malfunctioning conventional three-way switches can cause issues when used with the TP-Link switch."
So, if you have issues with your installation, you may need to use both of the included smart 3-way switches. Obviously you could also replace one of the 3-way switches with a cheaper conventional 3-way switch.
UPDATE 2018-12-12: Amazon dropped it by a whopping $0.02 However, you can now buy it for $64.99 with free shipping from BASS Electronics. They have pretty good ratings plus you have Amazon to back you if something goes wrong. They are not one of those Just Launched outfits so it might be worth the risk/discount. Just click on the different buying options to see them.
UPDATE 2018-12-09: Whoa, price dropped even further! It's now lower than the all time low at $69.00! Better get it if you need it since you won't know how long the price will last with Amazon's dynamic pricing.
