Not directly. The switch is for 110v circuit and a max of 15amps. But, in an indirect way you might be able to do that. And you would probably need an electrician to do the work. You could use the switch to control a relay. If the electrician could install a relay that will be used to control the 220v circuit of the electric water heater, then the KASA switch could be used to turn the relay on and off. The relay itself would need to be one that is controlled by 110v and has the capability to control a 220v circuit. This might sound a bit obtuse to you, but hopefully it would make sense to an electrician.
