“If you have the backplane installed by your homebuilder as I have, this is a true no-brainer. I have installed GE Zwave switches, Lutron, etc and These Deako switches are by far the easiest to install of all the smart switches I have dealt with. One Caveat, Not Deakos fault but my builder's electrician wired the backplanes wrong. However, the electricians are coming out to fix the issue. So in the case of a new build, just make sure to check out the 3 & 4 way installs as soon as possible.”
Oh Dean, you flatter us!
Knowing you've tried other switches out there and prefer ours means so much, we're happy you meet your expectations when it comes to smart lighting.
Sorry to hear about the issues with the building installation but good to hear they were able to rectify the issue.
Thanks for the review!
“I like the smart switch feature, I was really hoping for a timer type smart switch or a way to set the switch up as a timer so it turns on and off at certain times instead of me having to turn it on and off through the app.”
Bruce!
Thanks for the feedback, you're in luck my friend we actually do have a timer feature in the Deako app! You must first pair the switch to the app but once you do you can set timers or schedules to turn your lights on or off automatically!

“Super easy install, super easy setup, what's not to love? We have these on front porch and rear porch and will continue to add to other areas of our home for security. Especially love that it is smart home compatible (Echo). Thanks for your products Deako!”
“I am a fan of the Deako product. I purchased a new home and the only thing the builder got right was the selection of Deako switches. I purchased dimmers and motion sensor switches direct from Deako to upgrade from the basic ones installed.. Setup was super simple for the most part. I had a couple of things I couldn't figure out but Deako has incredibly responsive Customer Service and Tech Support. I was shocked at how easy it was to actually speak to a real human! I plan to add a few more smart switches when I can afford to. The Deako App makes it super simple to set up schedules for the smart switches. The Alexa skill has a few bugs but let's face it, Alexa has bugs with all her skills. Generally it works well and I appreciate that. I am extremely please with the look and functionality of the product.”
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review!
