Once were smart homes, now there are Wiser homes

Clipsal's new C-Bus Wiser makes using the technology in your home easier and more convenient by providing seamless control of music, home cinemas, air conditioning, lighting, sprinkler systems, security.

What is Wiser?

Wiser is the latest range of products to join the Clipsal C-Bus family, bringing a whole new level of functionality and connectivity throughout the home.

Wiser is the missing piece of the smart home puzzle, bringing electrical, multimedia and telecommunications technology together into a single solution that is user friendly.

The Wiser Home Controller seamlessly connects many different technologies such as lighting control, security, air conditioning, audiovisual equipment, media players, irrigation systems, motorised blinds and curtains, and a whole lot more, creating a seamless solution that the whole family can use and enjoy.

You can turn on your air conditioner from your mobile phone on the way home, or check that everything is turned off over the Internet when you get to work.

How does Wiser make life simpler?

In the past, you've needed to learn how to operate a whole lot of different and sometimes complicated equipment. You needed one controller for your air conditioner, another one for your security system, another one for your irrigation system, and loads of remote controls for your TV and audio equipment. It was all too hard!

Wiser provides one consistent and intuitive control for everything you want to control. You get the same look and feel on every device, any time, anywhere; from a light switch, a touch screen, a home computer, or even from your digital TV. For example, lights are operated with a light bulb icon, sound systems by a speaker icon, and irrigation by a tap icon... it can't get any simpler than that.

How does Wiser bring convenience?

With Wiser, you can operate nearly anything, from almost anywhere: touch screens, wall switches, web tablets, remote controls, mobile phones, computers, even your TV! And you can do it when you're home... or via the Internet or a mobile phone when you're out. Whatever you want, whenever you want it, wherever you are.

For example... you're outside cooking a barbeque and want to listen to some music, simply grab your mobile phone out of your pocket and turn on your multi-room audio system. Or if you're sitting down to watch a movie, and decide that you're too cold, use your remote control, and adjust the temperature via a Microsoft™ media centre menu on your TV.

But it's not just about you controlling it... with Wiser, your home can make things happen automatically according to your lifestyle and routine. You can be gently woken on week days to your bed lamps and music fading up slowly, followed by curtains opening, and your alarm system deactivating from night mode. And when you leave for work, simply press the "goodbye" button and your lights will turn off, blinds close, music fade and air conditioner power down.

How does Wiser bring added security?

As Wiser connects devices such as your lights, your alarm, web cameras, mobile phones and the Internet, you can go about your life and know that your home and family are protected. If your alarm is activated, Wiser will turn on your lights to deter any would-be intruders, send you a priority email to alert you, then allow you to check your web cameras via your mobile phone or computer. If it's a false alarm you can simply turn off your lights and reset your alarm with peace of mind and very little disruption to your day.

Is Wiser for any home?

Wiser is an affordable addition for anyone considering home automation. Whether a simple entry-level system, to a full-blown high-end system, Wiser offers a whole new level of convenience and functionality for any lifestyle. However it is far more than just bringing out the best in your C-Bus system; with Wiser all of your technology will be easier to use, which means you'll use it more often and get better bang for your buck!

How will Wiser save me time and money?

Wiser allows your installer to make any changes or adjustments you may want over the Internet. That means no more waiting around for a technician, you'll get the job done sooner, more conveniently, with no call out fee! Wiser by name, Wiser by nature!
