New Release ECO Mode on Deco
You might see ECO or ECON modes a lot in some vehicles and it is a fuel-saving feature that instructs the engine computer to shift into a program that maximizes efficiency over performance. The ECO Mode on Deco also strives to save energy and maximize working efficiency.
Deco ECO mode includes three parts: Power Mode, Wi-Fi Schedule, and LED Control.
Note:
1. Please ensure your Deco app is up to date.
2. ECO Supported list: (Other Deco models will support this feature via firmware updates in the future.)
| Deco M4 V1&V2 with firmware 1.5.6 and above |
| Deco M5 the latest firmware |
| Deco X50/Deco X55_v1/v1.2 with the latest firmware |
3. ECO Mode is disabled on the Deco by default, and can be enabled on the Deco APP> More>ECO mode.
4. If the current Deco Mesh includes a Deco model that does not support the ECO mode, this feature will disappear on the Deco app.
- Power Mode
There are three Power modes:
| Normal Mode | works under the normal power state. Wi-Fi performance will not be affected |
| Power-Saving Mode | lowers the power of your Deco to reduce power consumption. This will slightly reduce your network speed. |
| Ultra Power-Saving Mode | reduces to its minimum power consumption. The network speed will reach the lowest allowed by the devices. |
Under Power-Saving Mode/Ultra Power-Saving Mode, it is allowed to set up the mode working schedule to ‘Always On’ or ‘Only On During a Time Period’.
If you select a power saving mode to ‘Only On During a Time Period’, Deco will be in the Normal mode for the rest of the time.
- WiFi Schedule
After enabling the Wi-Fi Off Time, The Wi-Fi will be turned off during the schedule, and the wireless clients will be disconnected from the Deco network. Only the wired Deco units and the devices wired to these Deco units will not be affected. If ‘Keep 2.4GHz Wi-Fi On’ is enabled, the 2.4G Wi-Fi remains on, but other Wi-Fi bands will be turned off. In this situation, the Deco units are working, but only have 2.4G and a wired connection.
Note:
1. During the Wi-Fi off time, all Wi-Fi networks including main Wi-Fi, guest Wi-Fi , and IoT network will be turned off.
2. If ‘Keep 2.4GHz Wi-Fi On’ is disabled, all Wi-Fi network settings can't change during the Wi-Fi off time. You need to disable the 'Wi-Fi Off Time' feature to change your Wi-Fi settings.
3. If you want to have Deco Wi-Fi during the Wi-Fi off time period, you could disable Wi-Fi Off Time in the Deco app directly. If you cannot modify through the Deco app, simply restart all the main and satellite Decos, and then you can connect to the Deco Wi-Fi again.
- LED Control
You might see this one before on the Deco APP and it works the same as the previous LED Control feature. If you set up LED control before, the settings can be synced under ECO settings.

@David-TP Hi. The ECO MODE feature is very useful. I can select the time interval from the mobile app, but unfortunately there is no setting to select the day. However, I only want ECO MODE to be active on weekdays. Can you add such a feature soon? Regards..

Thanks for this tutorial. Quick question, I understand the Wi-Fi Schedule option can be set to turn off one or all Deco Wi-Fi radios during the scheduled time. But do either of the Power Mode options (Power-Saving, Ultra Power-Saving) actually reduce the transmission power of the Wi-Fi radios? Or do the Power Mode options only save power by adjusting the Deco's CPUs, etc.?

I am waiting for this feature as well.
X50 would be the right devices for me but I want to turn of radiation during night.
So, hopefully it comes soon.

@David-TP Great feature and works well. To take power savings even further would it be possible to set a power off / power on period for select deco devices?
I.e. I've got the M5 3 pack and think I could get away with just the main device overnight.

Hi, welcome to the community.
When the ECO mode came out first, I was also surprised when there was no power schedule. Later the engineers explained that when Deco was powered off, it lost connection to the cloud center so later it could no longer receive the command to restore the power. Personally, I think it makes sense.
In this scenario, we usually support adding a smart WiFi Plug to power on Deco so that you can set up an on/off schedule on the smart plugs.
Thank you very much and best regards.

It also puzzles me how expensive models such as the X90 still don't have the ECO mode, which is available on cheaper models

I have M4 v3. v1 and v2 got the update nearly 1 year ago and there is no news for v3 and v4. We're using same models but older versions are more useful. That's absurd.
