Factory reset a device to erase all information from it including name, schedules, scenes, timers, and groups for Smart Switches.
1. Hold down the configure button on your Deako switch
Hold down the button until the light is solid red, then release.
2. Wait until the configure button light turns off
The light will remain solid red for 3 seconds while the switch is factory resetting. The switch will then reboot (flash green) for a few seconds. Once the light is off, the switch has successfully reset.
-
Insert a Smart Switch into one of the backplates. If the Configure button flashes green..
Move on to step 2.
If it doesn't flash green, don't worry! Move on to the next backplate in the circuit and repeat step 1.
2. Press & hold the configure button until it begins flashing purple.
Repeat step 1 & 2 for each backplate in the circuit
3. Start the linking process
-
Confirm that the all switches in the circuit are flashing purple.
-
Once confirmed, press and hold the configure button on any switch until it flashes white.
Both switches will begin flashing white and the light may turn on and off (pretend it's a rave!).
This will last for about 45 seconds.
4. Test each switch
Try turning the light on and off from each switch. If it works, huzzah! You did it! If something is wrong, try factory resetting your switches and trying again.

- This feature is only available for Smart Switches, Single Pole Smart Dimmers, Master Smart Dimmers, and Remote Smart Dimmers. To confirm your device is one of these, check the model number on the back of the switch. If the model number is DS2005, DS2010, DS2011, or DS2012 you're good to go!
- This feature is available for version 1.24 or higher of the Deako app. To see what version of the app you're running, tap the gear-shaped icon on the top left of the main screen. You can update the app by searching for Deako in the App Store/Google Play Store and tapping Update.
- Smart Switches and Smart Dimmers need to be on firmware version 3.12 and above to access this feature. Here's how to check the firmware version of your Smart Switch/Dimmer. If your device isn't on that firmware, power cycle the device and wait for a few minutes for it to update
What is Sunrise/Sunset?
Sunrise/Sunset is a setting in Schedules that allows your Smart Switches/Dimmers to turn on or off with the sunrise or sunset. Get a jump on the day or wind down with the sun!
What time does Deako use for Sunrise/Sunset?
This feature uses Civil Twilight - Sunrise is at the start of dawn and Sunset is at the end of dusk. This is the standard for sunrise/sunset features.
Before you begin...
- Link sets of switches that manually control the same lights
- Add your switches to the Deako App
Create a Sunrise/Sunset Schedule
1. Open the Deako app, tap the "+" icon,
2. Select the Schedule icon
3. Select the light you'd like to schedule and whether you'd like it to turn on and/or off
You can select Sunrise/Sunset by tapping on the time display
4. Set your light to either Sunrise or Sunset
You can choose at sunrise or sunset, or a time before or after.
Troubleshooting
Why don't I see the Sunrise/Sunset option on my Smart Scene Controller Switches/Dimmers?
Sunrise/Sunset is only compatible with Smart Switches and Smart Dimmers
Why is the app telling me the feature is unavailable for my Smart Switch?
Your Smart Switch may not be on the most recent firmware version quite yet. Smart Switches will automatically update, but power cycling the switch and waiting for a few minutes will prompt the switch to update
Deako Smart Switches have an LED light at the bottom middle of the switch. This is the Configure button.
