Insider tips

Make the most of Iconic’s Bluetooth connectivity for easy control of lighting and appliances around your home via the Wiser by SE app on your smart device.

Use an Iconic Connected Power Point with your Christmas tree lights and schedule them on the app to come on and off automatically each day. Forget clambering behind the couch or squeezing behind the tree to access the switch each night – and never worry about whether you’ve left them on after you go to bed.

Keep cool in the heat of summer

Keep cool in the heat of summer with control of your AC ceiling fans via your smart device. A Clipsal Iconic Connected AC Fan Controller links fans with the Wiser by SE app so you can set them to run at key times in living areas, or have bedroom ceiling fans turn on automatically to cool the room before bedtime.

You can also turn fans off remotely if they’re left running accidentally, or turn them on when you’re out, so you arrive home to a comfortable environment.

Planning for guests to stay during the holidays? Make life easier for them with an Iconic Night Walk Sensor Light in their bedroom, hallway or bathroom.
The soft, motion-activated LED light will help them find their way to the bathroom or kitchen at night more easily.

Outdoor living

Iconic Outdoor is the stylish outdoor range that can link to the Wiser by SE app to manage outdoor electrics like lights, pool heating, or water features.

Use an Iconic Outdoor Smart Weatherproof Switched Power Point with outdoor fairy lights to help make your home the best-dressed house on the street this festive season. This makes it simple to schedule lights to turn on and off, even on the nights you’re not there.

Have your garden always looking its best for summer entertaining too, with a Clipsal Wiser Switch to activate feature lighting at dusk.

Wiser for hassle-free holidays

Clipsal Wiser in your home makes getting away from it all even easier. It’s the ideal addition to holiday properties too, as Wiser’s smart connectivity lets you control your system from wherever you are in the world.

With a few key products in your Wiser ecosystem you can rest easy, knowing that your Wiser home has everything in hand – whether it’s time to lock up and leave, or arrive and unpack.

Wiser Connected Switches (compatible with the Iconic range) let you schedule lights and even set blinds to open and close to make it seem like your property is occupied.

Wiser makes sense

Wiser Sensors are a great way to get a quick heads-up if something is wrong, no matter how far from home you are. Window and Door Sensors send a notification to the Wiser by SE app if they are opened unexpectedly, while a Wiser Water Leakage Sensor under the kitchen and laundry sinks and in the bathroom lets you know if there’s an issue.

Enjoy peace of mind with Wiser Smart Smoke Alarms, which will send a notification to your phone if smoke is detected, letting you notify emergency services quickly from wherever you are.

Wiser IP Indoor and Outdoor Cameras let you keep an eye on everything that’s happening on your property – inside and out – with HD night and day video recording and motion detection notification among the features.

And if you’re expecting a courier package (or three!) while you’re away? The Wiser IP Camera’s intercom system lets you talk to delivery people at your front door too. You could even open your garage door remotely so you can see them stow your packages safely inside.

Make it easy with Moments

Wiser ‘Moments’ let you curate a selection of activities linked to a single need. For example, tapping ‘Away’ on your Wiser by SE app as you head off on holiday could activate your pre-set light and blind schedules and turn off all unnecessary appliances around the house that use a Wiser Connected Power Point, such as TVs, gaming consoles, heated towel rails, or air con.

Simply create another ‘Moment’ that does all this in reverse for when you come home again, or arrive at your holiday home. Tapping ‘All On’ on your app could instantly “wake” your home up so it’s ready to use.

(Turning off major appliances is especially useful for holiday homes, which are generally emptier for longer periods of time. Consider adding control of the hot water cylinder to your Wiser system for increased power savings too.)
