Clipsal Wiser is a scalable smart home automation system that lets you control lighting, blinds, security, climate, and energy from a single smartphone app. It works with your existing electrical infrastructure, uses Zigbee 3.0 and Bluetooth technology, and can start with a single room before expanding to your whole home.
Key Features:
If you've ever walked past a light switch and wished you could dim the lights from your phone, or wondered if you remembered to close the garage door after leaving for work, you're not alone. The idea of a smart home sounds amazing in theory — automated blinds, voice-controlled lighting, energy monitoring at your fingertips — but for most people, it also sounds complicated, expensive, and overwhelming. That's exactly the problem Clipsal Wiser was designed to solve. It's a smart home system built by Schneider Electric specifically for Australian homes, engineered to work with our existing wiring and designed to be genuinely simple to use and expand over time.
I'm Dave Symons, Managing Director at DASH Symons Group, and over the past 16 years, we've installed and integrated smart home systems like Clipsal Wiser across the Gold Coast and Brisbane, helping homeowners open up real comfort, security, and efficiency without the tech headaches. We handle everything from system design and professional installation to ongoing support, ensuring your smart home works reliably from day one and grows with your needs over time.
Clipsal Wiser is a smart home ecosystem that brings together all your home's technology under one roof—or more accurately, one app. Think of it as the conductor of an orchestra, coordinating your lights, blinds, climate control, and security to work in perfect harmony. At DASH Symons Group, we've been installing and integrating these systems across the Gold Coast and Brisbane for years, and we've seen how they transform everyday living.
The heart of the system is the Wiser Hub, which connects to all your smart devices using Zigbee 3.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy technology. What makes this particularly clever is that it works with Clipsal's existing wiring and switch ranges—those iconic switches many Australian homes already have. This means we can often integrate smart functionality without ripping out what's already there, saving you time and money while maintaining the aesthetic you love.
The second-generation Wiser Hub even acts as a Matter Bridge, which is tech-speak for "it plays nicely with others." Your Clipsal Wiser devices can integrate seamlessly with Google Home, Apple Home, and Amazon Alexa, so you're not locked into one ecosystem. We design and install these Automation Systems to work exactly how you need them to, whether that's voice control, app control, or both.
Everything is managed through the intuitive Wiser by SE app, which turns your smartphone into a control center for your entire home. We'll set it up, walk you through how it works, and make sure you're comfortable using it before we leave.
The real value of Clipsal Wiser isn't just about turning lights on and off from your phone—though that's certainly nice. It's about creating a home that responds to how you actually live, making your daily routines smoother, safer, and more efficient.
Comfort becomes automatic. Imagine waking up to blinds that gradually open with the sunrise, or arriving home on a scorching Gold Coast afternoon to a house that's already cooled down. With "Moments"—custom scenes you create—multiple devices respond to a single command. Your "Movie Night" Moment might dim the lights, close the blinds, and set the temperature just right. Voice control through Alexa or Google Home means you can simply say "Hey Google, activate dinner" without getting up from the couch.
Security gets smarter. When we integrate Clipsal Wiser with your security setup, your home becomes genuinely vigilant. Smart cameras let you check on deliveries or pets from anywhere. Smart smoke alarms don't just sound an alert—they can automatically turn on all the lights to guide your family to safety and send notifications straight to your phone. Door, window, motion, and water leak sensors provide early warnings before small issues become expensive problems. We regularly help homeowners build comprehensive Integrated Home Security solutions that work together seamlessly.
Energy costs drop noticeably. Managing your electricity consumption becomes effortless with Clipsal Wiser. The system can automatically switch off devices in empty rooms, adjust blinds based on sunlight and temperature, and schedule high-energy devices to run at optimal times. The Wiser Home AI feature can even manage EV chargers intelligently, preventing circuit breakers from tripping while optimizing your charging schedule. We've seen clients reduce their energy bills significantly just by automating what they were already trying to remember to do manually.
Peace of mind travels with you. Whether you're at the office, on holiday, or just out for dinner, the Wiser by SE app keeps you connected. Check if you closed the garage, adjust the air conditioning before you get home, or verify that everything's secure. Remote access means your home is never really out of reach.
One of the smartest things about Clipsal Wiser is that you don't need to do everything at once. We understand that budgets and priorities vary, which is why we help homeowners start small and expand over time. You might begin with smart lighting in your main living areas using Clipsal Wiser Iconic connected switches—products that work with your existing wiring and look great on your walls.
As you get comfortable with the system and see the benefits firsthand, adding more becomes straightforward. The Wiser Hub has impressive capacity: up to 128 devices total, including 63 Zigbee devices, 20 PowerTags for energy monitoring, and even integration with a Schneider Charge EV charger. You can configure 16 separate rooms, create 20 custom Moments, and set up 10 different automations. This means your initial investment continues paying dividends as your needs evolve.
We've helped numerous clients on the Gold Coast and Brisbane upgrade older C-Bus systems to Clipsal Wiser, leveraging existing wiring to bring modern smart home capabilities without complete rewiring. This makes it genuinely future-proof. Your system can adapt as technology advances and your lifestyle changes.
Our experience with Building Management Integration means we can design a system that's ready for whatever comes next. You can explore the full range of possibilities at Wiser smart home solutions - Clipsal by Schneider Electric.
While Clipsal Wiser is designed to be user-friendly once it's running, the installation and setup require professional expertise. This is where DASH Symons Group's 16 years of experience serving the Gold Coast and Brisbane really matters. We've installed countless smart home systems, and we know what works and what doesn't.
Electrical safety comes first. Any work involving your home's electrical system needs a licensed electrician. We ensure every installation meets Australian safety standards and local regulations, protecting your home and family from day one. There are no shortcuts when it comes to electrical work.
Proper design makes all the difference. A collection of smart devices isn't the same as a smart home. We sit down with you to understand how you actually use your space, then design a Clipsal Wiser system that fits your lifestyle. This includes strategically placing the hub and devices to ensure strong network coverage throughout your home, optimizing performance for both mains-powered and battery-powered devices. Poor placement is one of the most common issues with DIY installations—devices that won't stay connected or rooms that don't respond reliably.
Integration requires know-how. Connecting Clipsal Wiser to your existing wiring, voice assistants, and other smart devices takes expertise. We configure the Wiser Hub as a Matter Bridge when needed, ensuring compatibility with Google Home, Apple Home, and Amazon Alexa. We also integrate it with your security systems and other home technologies so everything works together properly. This level of integration is essential for Professionally Installed Security Systems, and we apply the same attention to detail to all our automation projects.
Ongoing support provides confidence. When you work with us, you're not on your own after installation. If something stops working or you want to add new features, we're just a phone call away. We provide comprehensive support and maintenance, ensuring your system continues running smoothly for years to come.
For us as professional installers, Clipsal Wiser offers significant advantages. Its modular design and compatibility with existing Clipsal products mean we can deliver meaningful upgrades without unnecessary disruption. The award-winning Iconic 2AX Connected Switch, for instance, is compact and can be integrated into a plate with up to six mechanisms, offering both Bluetooth and Zigbee functionality. This innovative design gives us flexibility while providing you with powerful automation capabilities that look clean and professional on your walls.
If you're ready to stop wrestling with light switches and start enjoying the kind of home that just works, we'd love to help you make it happen.
