Deako 做什么

Deako believes that everyone should be able to enjoy the wonderful experiences of smart lighting, regardless of their budget. We invented the modular light switch, giving homeowners maximum flexibility to customize and upgrade their systems, at any time, in minutes and without turning off the power. Deako’s beautiful designer switches are like nothing else on the market today.
