Rise and shine with Deako
Looking for ways to brighten up your home during chilly mornings in the Fall? Want to come home to an illuminated driveway or front porch? Well with the Deako Sunrise Sunset feature these are possible!
What is Sunrise/Sunset?
With the power of Deako Smart Lighting Sunrise/Sunset is a setting that allows your Smart Switch or Dimmer to turn on or off automatically when the sun rises/sets so you can get a jump on the day or wind down with the sun!
It works based on your location and you’re able to set a specific window of time you’d want your smart switch to turn your lights on or off, for example if the sun sets at 5:09 PM on Wednesday you can set your Deako app to turn your smart switch on before, after or exactly when sunrise or sunset happens based on your area.
