Eliminates up-front installation costs; Turn upgrades into after-sale revenues

SEATTLE, Jan. 27, 2020 – Deako, a leader in smart lighting, has expanded its suite of modular and scalable home lighting products and solutions, announcing today the launch of the Deako Simple Rocker Switch, Simple Dimmer, Simple Motion Sensor, Smart Switch and Smart Dimmer. The new products paired with their existing backplate can be quickly installed into a standard junction box, enable builders to offer homes pre-wired for customizable upgrade packages and eliminate the upfront costs typically required for such installations. Instead, builders, integrators and electricians can generate after-sale revenues when buyers choose an upgrade.Deako’s modular system and “click-in” switches require no special wiring or hubs. Upgrade packages including Simple Motion/Dimmer, Smart Switches/Smart Dimmer, and Scene Controller Switches are seamlessly added into the Deako Backplate. Homeowners love the flexibility they have with Deako as they can upgrade their lighting at any time, without hiring an electrician. Builders love that they can now offer a future-proof home at little to no extra cost. Simply pop out one switch and replace it with the upgrade throughout the house:

The new Simple Rocker Switch is a beautifully designed rocker switch for any room in the home. With Deako’s modular system, this is a sleek starting point in personal lighting design.
The new Simple Dimmer Switch can be placed in dining rooms, living rooms, bedrooms and anywhere you want to adjust the brightness of the lights.
The new Simple Motion Sensor can be used in laundry rooms, pantries, garages and any other space you choose in your home.
Deako is also launching a new Smart Switch and Smart Dimmer, both of which showcase a matte finish and pair your mobile phone and voice using Google Home and Amazon Alexa. With the dimmer switch, a slim rocker precisely controls the brightness, mood, and experience of each room and space.
