Reward Energy Savings With Wiser

Schneider Electric in turn has a home automation solution to manage its heating, its lights and do a few programming, history to earn a few bux on the annual electricity bill.

Wiser is the name of the automation solution that consists of a central box and modules communicating wirelessly (in ZigBee), including:

• A thermostat (for measuring and controlling the temperature of a room);

• Concentrator (to measure total consumption from the electrical panel);

• An actuator of hot water (to control the consumption of hot water);

• Energy a button (to switch instantly home in Eco mode, turn off the watch, reduce temperature, etc.).

• A thermostatic valve head (to control the control valve to the hot water radiator loop);

• A power-driven (to control its electrical appliances and fixtures);

• An actuator electric heater (for monitoring and measuring the consumption of electric heaters).

With these modules, so you can know exactly what you consume and how much it costs you. When instead of a rag in "kWh" they are "dollars" that appear immediately, you feel more involved. 

This little world can be controlled through a web interface on a computer or via a mobile application. The user will be alerted in case of consumption, but also in the case of deficient or radiators leak in the water loop. It will, of course, possible to make programs for the bathroom at the right temperature in the morning, but only between 7am and 8am, or for all appliances on standby off automatically at night from a certain time or during the day, when the house is empty.

Schneider Electric insists that besides the comfortable side of its home automation solution, there are real savings to be made. The manufacturer indicates that a T3/T4 apartment type Wiser complete system cost (installation included) between 700 and 1,200 dollars for an economy energy Including between 200 and 400 dollars per year. The investment would be quickly profitable.
