When it comes to new home construction, every detail matters. Homeowners want modern, customizable and efficient solutions that reflect their lifestyle, and builders are responsible for meeting these expectations.
Deako is the world’s first modular lighting system with plug-and-play light switches. They’re rapidly becoming the industry standard with their backplates being installed in one out of every six new homes in the U.S. and over 30 million products sold. Let’s take a closer look at how Deako light switches and technology are transforming modern homes.
Effortless installation for builders and electricians
Deako specialty light switches are designed with builders in mind. Traditional wiring methods for smart lighting is time-consuming and requires technical expertise, but Deako has streamlined this process. Their modular system allows electricians to install the Deako backplate and simple rocker switch during the initial phase of construction. This works exactly like a typical light switch, using the same standard junction box.
This means your team can rough-in homes with Deako’s simple switch and then invite buyers to upgrade to smart switches, dimmers or other specialty switches later on with no further re-wiring or structural modifications needed. This flexibility helps you keep projects on track, unlocks additional sales opportunities and reduces costly delays.
Customization for homeowners
One of the most popular benefits of Deako’s modular lighting system is how easy their products adapt to individual homeowners’ needs. With the rocker-style switches already in place throughout the home, homeowners simply choose from a range of upgrade options, including a dull assortment of simple and smart specialty switches, that suit their lifestyle and budget. Whether new buyers want to add smart dimmers, motion sensor switched, nightlights, or they want to incorporate more advanced smart home capabilities like automated lighting or voice control features, Deako provides the perfect plug-and-play solution.
Homeowners also love Deako because they get the ultimate flexibility into choosing when and how much they want to invest in their home’s lighting control. This “future-proof” feature is especially attractive to first-time buyers or those on a budget, as they can start with Deako’s standard switches and upgrade gradually over time, and at their discretion.
Cutting-edge smart lighting features
Deako doesn’t just offer modularity – their light switches come packed with smart technology. Here’s a snapshot of the top features that make Deako stand out:
- Scene control: Deako’s empowers users to set scenes, control on/off schedules and automate mood lighting in any room that has a Deako smart switch or smart dimmer.
- Voice integration: Deako smart switches integrate with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, providing homeowners with a hands-free option to control of their lighting.
- App control: The Deako app allows homeowners to control their lighting from anywhere, giving them the convenience of managing lights even when they’re not at home.
These advanced features enhance everyday living and provide the modern conveniences with added safety and security homebuyers now expect. All home builders have a smart home strategy, and many have found that offering the Deako Modular System has been an effortless way to add a high value smart lighting technology to every home – with minimal increase in cost.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is a top priority for homebuyers today. Deako smart switches contribute to energy savings through their advanced scheduling and automation features. Homeowners can program lights to turn off at specific times and reduce brightness to conserve energy. Deako also offers specialty switches such as an astronomical timer, simpler timer, motion sensor and simple ventilation timer that can automatically turn on or off after a specified duration.
By integrating smart lighting, builders can help buyers be more energy efficient and reduce the home’s environmental impact – an increasingly important selling point in today’s housing market.
Future-proof technology
One of the major advantages of Deako’s lighting systems is the future-proof nature. As technology evolves, Deako allows for easy upgrades without the need for invasive rework. New features or products can be added simply by swapping out the switches. This means the home’s lighting system can adapt to the latest innovations in smart technology without requiring costly or complex updates, offering long-term value for homeowners.
For builders, future-proof technology means fewer callbacks, truck rolls and warranty issues down the line. Once Deako’s Modular system is in place, there’s no need to worry about re-wiring or retrofitting homes to keep up with technological advancements.
