“Cannot review because the first Smart Switch (Gen2) did not want to connect for some reason even with the help from the Deako support techs and also the Safe Haven support techs so Deako support techs sent me another Smart Switch (Gen2) I did not try it as I was out of town. When I do install it I will inform Deako. Thank You”

“Most of my switches work ok. Just like light switches are supposed to. However, the connected pair in my hallway struggle to do their job. Either switch you press, doesn't matter. Maybe the light will turn on, maybe it won't. There is always a 2 to 4 second delay (with only those 2 switches the rest work fine) so you don't know if you should push the switch again or not. The paired switches in my kitchen don't have the same issues. If it weren't for those 2 switches they'd get 5 stars”
“I came into Deako when we bought our home. While I will say they are pricey, with the new features I think they are pretty darn awesome. I started building out my smart home and initially these wouldn't work with home assistant but that changed recently and I love it! They are easy to setup and use.”
“The switch will jot connect to my wifi. I have contacted support, done everything asked, will not work. They sent a new switch, same result. I have several Gen 1 that work just fine as well as relays. Gen 2 smart switch has issues.”

Smart Switches and Smart Dimmers contain internal chipsets, similar to tiny computers, which allow them to perform their advanced functions. It is normal for these switches to be warm to the touch, and they will get to roughly the temperature of a hot tub (~100F). This slight warmth is expected and doesn’t indicate a problem now or in the future. The temperature of the switch isn’t significantly affected by whether the light is on or off. Instead, the heat comes from the internal components doing their job.
It’s important to know that all Deako switches, as well as electrical components from other manufacturers, are rigorously tested and designed to meet strict safety standards. So, if your Smart Switch or Dimmer feels warm to the touch, rest assured—it’s just part of how these innovative devices operate safely and efficiently.
“I found 2 issues with the Gen 2 Smart Switch:
1) The Beacon light bar is TOO bright at night, no good at all. It supposed to be just to find the swith, not to illuminate a room.
2) The material of the flat face of the switch becomes translucid to the Beacon light bar, making it looks like very poor quality and the appearance is far from the cost you pay for this switch.
I am attaching images of 3 switches without any filter. Just from the cellphone camera.
Already mentioned it to the sales rep. and said there's a software update in the future, but it is no good.”
