Most of us have limited experience with smart technology beyond contact with our mobile phones. However, innovative new concepts are branching into our homes, bringing about the idea of a ‘smart home’. From multi-room heating devices that can be controlled by voice recognition to lighting which is remotely operated, smart home technology is making our lives easier and more efficient.
What’s more, this smart home technology from Schneider Electric, including their new Wiser heating system, was recently featured in our Houzz of 2018 pop-up where the very latest trends for the coming year were showcased. So don’t get left behind, jump on board and grab a ticket to the future.

Complement Your Lifestyle
When life gets busy and hectic, daily schedules can often change at the last minute. Being in control of your property’s temperature and hot water from a smartphone, means your heating system can change to suit your needs wherever you happen to be. This also means you can control numerous properties, such as a holiday home you might only visit a few times a year, or an elderly relative’s home that might be too remote to reach. Fitting a smart heating system gives you control and, ultimately, peace of mind.
Tight building budget? No problem. Smart home automation is often associated with expensive whole-house solutions and high-end projects. There are, however, affordable and easy-to-use options available for the mass market. Thanks to an innovative design, the new Wiser heating system by Schneider Electric allows you to customise your heating using thermostatic radiator valves that can be added to as many or as few rooms as your budget allows, so you only invest in what you need at the time.

Save Yourself Money
Having room-to-room control of your heating will allow you to
take control of your energy use, reducing your heating costs as well as having a positive impact on the environment. There’s also the added benefit of being able to more accurately control the temperature in each room – even reducing it by just one degree can save you money on your bill.
An easy set-up that’s not just for techies. Be sure to choose a heating system that comes with industry standard UK wallplates, which allow installers to simply switch a traditional thermostat for a smart one. Wiser is really easy to set up and use, and as it requires no re-wiring, it’s one of the simplest ways to add automation to your home. Easy!

We did this in our last place, everything was automated from the heating to lights and security. I do not think I touched a light switch in 8 months. All of the tech, except for the thermostat was hidden away too - I went with the Nest system deliberately not using a single solution in case it is compromised. I then linked the systems using a variety of solutions. There is method in the madness, it is best practice as a defence in depth approach for cyber security - I would encourage people to look at how they set up the kit and networks so as not to expose themselves and their network externally. Once an attacker gets a foot in to your network it can be easy to hop from one device to another.
Thank you to all for taking the time to post and share your experiences. Its great to see the interest and willingness to embrace new tech and the benefits, comfort and savings it can bring with it. Our Wiser solution is easy to install, but we absolutely agree - its important for homeowners to understand their wifi and network settings, to ensure they set up any new device securely.
