“The smart switch requires programming from a cell phone, and not a flip phone like I have, so I'll need to return them. You may want to have that warning take a higher priority in the postings.”
Hey Marty!
Thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your smart switch. These particular devices do require an app to take advantage of their features but do you happen to own a tablet by any chance?
Our app can be downloaded to any iPad and most Android smart devices that aren't mobile phones! If you don't and have more questions please send us an email at support@deako.com and we'd be more than happy to see how we can help further.
Review #3 we can't thank you enough Tod!
We're really happy you're enjoying each Deako switch you ordered and hopefully you enjoy the next ones just as much!
“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!
