PROVIDING PROTECTED AND CONNECTED RESIDENTIAL ECOSYSTEMS –ONE PRODUCT AT A TIME

Today, sustainability is not just something we discuss at forums and events, but an important reality of our everyday life. Homes, for example, are expected to become the single largest consumers of electricity and the biggest contributor of carbon dioxide emissions.

As a company, Schneider Electric focuses its efforts to provide a 100-per-cent protected and connected residential ecosystem using both the grid and distributed energy resources such as solar and battery. With more than 180 years of innovation in energy management and automation solutions, Schneider Electric constantly endeavors to help builders overcome daily challenges by meeting their needs through strong collaboration.

We need to have insight all the way to the plug and that’s why our connected home Grid to Plug solutions are a great fit. Our Wiser Energy solution, an AI-powered monitor, deciphers the electrical signature of each load in the house and feeds data to the homeowner via the Wiser Energy app which provides a detailed energy report, capability for setting goals, budgets, alarms and more. Studies have shown that homeowners provided with such energy data do make changes to reduce consumption.

Schneider Electric has introduced a line of connected wiring devices that operate in an app we call, Wiser Home, allowing a unique experience for each user. This gives homeowners peace of mind, convenience, lets them manage their energy usage and gives their home a modern look.

When it comes to ease of installation all the devices include self-grounding, quick ground wire installation and pressure plates for ease of wiring.

Wi-Fi or Z Wave intelligence allows homeowners to automate receptacles and lights or to control them remotely.

All the devices are available in two formats: screw and screwless with the rocker plates being interchangeable to keep switches clean during construction without changing the device. Homeowners are no longer limited to glossy white cover plates but can select multiple matte finish colour options to achieve a refined, minimalist elegance. This provides flexibility to adapt to any interior decor without the need to access the wiring, while the connectivity features provide personalization and energy savings.

Schneider Electric is paving the way to a proactive approach and showing leadership towards a smart and sustainable home, something that is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have for every homeowner.
