Deako
Personalized lighting for your home

Deako is a whole-home smart lighting system built around a modular backplate-and-faceplate design that lets homeowners swap switch types without rewiring. The product line includes smart dimmers, motion sensor switches, timers, and plugs, all controllable via the Deako app, voice assistants, and schedules. It targets both DIY homeowners and professional builders seeking an affordable, easy-to-install smart lighting ecosystem.
A wired Deako Backplate is installed once into a standard junction box, after which users can snap in and swap various smart switch faceplates without tools or rewiring, managing everything through the Deako app.
