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.
