Clipsal by Schneider Electric (Clipsal) has launched the new Wiser™ Smart Smoke Alarm. Now available in Australia, the new smoke alarm will give renovators added peace of mind and allow electricians and builders to be at the forefront of both smart home capabilities and safety.
The Lithium battery powered Wiser Smart Smoke Alarms have been designed with users top of mind, incorporating intelligent features to help make homes safer and more secure.
The smoke alarms can be used alone, interconnected wirelessly with other Wiser or Fire Tek® smoke alarms or as part of a Wiser smart home system, creating an enhanced warning procedure. In case of emergencies, homeowners will be notified if smoke is detected through the Wiser by SE app, even if they are away from the home.
Wiser automations can also be programmed to trigger connected lights to turn on and illuminate a path to a doorway at night if smoke is detected, helping ensure maximum time for safe evacuation. New dual spectrum photoelectric smoke-sensing technology also helps to mitigate false alarms for added confidence.
As well as the safety measures for worst-case scenarios, homeowners can manage fire safety on a day-to-day basis by checking the alarm is online, its current battery status and testing reminders, through the Wiser by SE app.
“Australians’ desire for smarter and connected homes is growing. Expanding our range to include smoke alarms is an important inclusion to the Wiser offering. The smoke alarm will give Australians the flexibility and peace of mind when creating smart, secure and connected spaces,” says Tim Fant, Offer Manager for Comfort and Energy Management at Clipsal..
Clipsal combines over 25 years of local know-how with global expertise in smart home technology and developed its Wiser Smart ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ system consisting of a scalable range of sensors, connected sockets and switches, IP cameras, blind controllers and IR converters, allowing homeowners to control as much or as little around their homes as they wish, to help enhance their lifestyles. All devices are unified by the Wiser hub and controlled via the Wiser by SE app.
“The technological capabilities of the alarms allows homeowners to proactively protect their properties and help to make fire protection behaviours routine, through regular testing reminders and easily accessible battery information. Installation of Wiser smoke alarms is a reliable, uncomplicated upgrade to help elevate home safety,” adds Mr Fant.
The updated design of the Wiser Smart Smoke Alarm gives renovators and homeowners a sleeker look matching updated designs, and the extra-large test/hush button makes it simple to routinely perform safety checks.
The Lithium battery powered model is available now and 230V mains powered models will be launching in early 2023.
The Wiser smoke alarm has already been recognised globally as a red dot winner of the 2022 iF Design Awards, which acknowledges excellent design around the world. Every year, an international jury panel of 100 experts honour achievements in products, packaging, communication and service design.
