Clipsal by Schneider Electric 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 whether 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,” Clipsal offer manager for comfort and energy management Tim Fant says.

“The smoke alarm will give Australians the flexibility and peace of mind when creating smart, secure and connected spaces.”

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.
