Pairing Deako with Home Assistant

  • Updated

Home Assistant is an open-source platform that unifies smart home devices. By integrating Deako switches, users can control them through Apple HomeKit or Matter, enhancing automation and cross-platform compatibility.

1. Access the Home Assistant Dashboard

  • Open your Home Assistant web interface (typically http://your_home_assistant_ip:8123).
  • Log in if required.

2. Navigate to Integrations

  • Click on Settings in the left sidebar.
  • Go to Devices & Services and then select the Integrations tab.
  • Here, you’ll see a list of installed integrations and a search bar for finding new ones.

3. Deako can be automatically discovered on the network, if the integration isn’t automatically discovered, please see below how to search for it manually.

  • Select “ADD” under the discovered Deako integration.

4. Select “Submit” to confirm the setup for the integration.

  • It may think about it for a while, then finalize.

5. Search the Deako Integration

  • In the Integrations tab, click on the Add Integration button in the bottom right.
  • Use the search bar to find the Deako Integration.

6. Select and Configure the Integration Manually

  • Click on the integration you want to add.
  • A setup wizard will guide you through the configuration steps.

7. Login to Your Deako Account

  • These credentials are the same ones used to set up the Deako App.

Note: If you used Google or Apple authentication login, you will need to contact support@deako.com to assign your account to a direct email address to retrieve a password.

8. Confirm and Add

  • Once the configuration is complete, click Finish or Submit.
  • Your new Deako integration should now be added and ready to use. You’ll see it in the Devices & Services tab, where you can view and manage connected devices.

9. Check Entities and Configure Automations

  • After adding an integration, Home Assistant creates entities for each device or service. These entities are the individual controls (like Smart Switches and Smart Dimmers).
  • You can view these under Settings > Devices & Services.
  • Use these entities to create automations by navigating to Settings > Automations & Scenes.
