“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.”
“The Master Dimmer is great add on especially for the kitchen and other areas that are already too bright and dims perfectly for the level that I need. It runs seemlessy with the Deako app and can be used with alexa etc. It's simple to set up and use as long as you follow the directions which are easy as they have video directions on youtube from Deako”
