“DEAKO brings a smart home to life with it smart light and plug in products. We use them and find it absolutely awesome for the flexibility it has. If you for get to turn a light off in another part of your home you can simply turn it off from your Smartphone App. Super convenient and easy to install. Thank you.”
“I have not yet received the master smart dimmer for my two pole light that works. The one I received was broken and the replacement package was damaged in transit and never delivered.”
“So I have a 3-way situations and wanted dimmer capability. My home came pre-wired for Deako, so I had little choice. My experience is:
1) They are significantly more expensive that many alternative solutions
2) Set up is a bit of a nightmare because the Primary/Secondary switches have to be very carefully implemented. I am quite technical and much of my home is automated with Philips products, yet it took me 3 tries factory resetting the switches to get them to pair properly.
3) Hardware design - All Deako switchplates snap on and require a screw driver to pry them off. This often results in little divits in your paint, especially if you decide to move them around. At this price I would expect some kind of latching mechanism with a premium feel.
I gave them a 3 out of 5 because once in place they seem to work well, but when they die I will likely hire an electrician to replace the boxes and go with whatever the market leader is at that time.”
