Thanks for the 1 year update 2Scoops! An auto dimmable light switch based on the ambient light in the room would be nice! I think the wand will help with that!

[@micah2scoops]

That's a great idea especially bc the Sunsa wand has a light sensor 👍🏿

Thanks mate, I’ll be setting mine up soon and your videos helped a ton.

[@Deakolights]

Thanks for the review, Micah! Love the way you're using the system in tandem with so many other things to get the most out of it. And we've taken notes on all your product ideas! Keep 'em coming!

Great vid!!! Loving my Deako lights too (luckily were installed in new home already). Bought a lot more smart switches and going to buy my first smart dimmer.
How did you connect the ring door sensor to trigger the light in that room (maybe I missed something since I didn’t finish the whole video yet)?

[@micah2scoops]

The Deako Switches are great. Let me send you a link my other video, that should help.

Link your Ring account then create an Alexa Routine with Ring as a Trigger: th-cam.com/video/JKRFopYqlos/w-d-xo.html

@@micah2scoops How did you turn on your tv with the smart dimmer scene?

[@micah2scoops]

​@@soccerstudism Good Question.
Short Answer
The Deako scene will show up as an action not a trigger. So you need to use your voice or your phone as the trigger for alexa routine with a Deako Scene and FireTv action.
Long answer.
You can't use the scene as a trigger for Alexa or Google Home. You can though use the light as a Google Home trigger. But i doubt you want your tv coming on on everytime you turn on a light.
For Alexa when you create a "Scene" in the Deako app and add the Deako Skill to your Alexa account. The Deako scene will show up as an action not a trigger. So you need to use your voice or your phone as the trigger for alexa routine with a Deako Scene and FireTv action.

Must have spent a fortune on switches at this point lol

[@micah2scoops]

It wasn't too bad. They have a good warranty and should last me for a very long time. The smart home convenience is worth it!
