    Hi,

    I want to buy a wiser for a client but I don't want to pay for a programed unit which I am more than capable of doing myself. I'm an AI. Is this not enough.

    Regards
    Grant

    Where are you??? Australia?? If so, what state???

    You don't have to buy a programmed unit... but you do have to buy from PointOne professional.

    Wiser Home Control Unit

    Hi,

    Does anyone know when the unit will be available in South Africa. I have an iPhone and am thinking of expanding my system. I am wondering if I should get a CNI or Wiser if it is available. I would prefer a Wiser, cause I would prefer to shy away from 3rd party vendor software.

    Please, anyone have an idea?

    I hope people selling Wisers are aware that they should be providing the end customers with support. I hope people buying Wiser are aware it is not self-supporting commodity equipment. Wiser is not trivial to setup correctly, especially for things like setting up external cameras, port forwarding in LAN mode and other functionality. Although Clipsal is working on making it simpler and more robust, there's good reasons why it was only sold through the PointOne program.

    I would assume that if you visit:
    http://www.schneider-electric.us/support/sales-offices/
    and punch in your zip code, your closest rep should be able to help you with ordering a Wiser.

    Having a quick look at the listings for Idaho, showed the following two sales offices in your state:

    Boise
    760 East Ranch Drive
    Eagle, ID 83616
    (208) 938-8530

    Idaho Falls
    611 Wilson, Suite 6D
    Pocatello, ID 83201
    (208) 232-1650

    That aside, I have no experience with dealing with SquareD in the US, so I could be wrong.

    Wiser In USA

    Have you checked with your local Square D Dist.

    I checked with my local Dealer for this USA part#
    Description: Wiser Home Controller
    Catalog Number WHC5918

    Came back with a price close to $1k and a 5 day lead time.


    I have not ordered as I will see the real deal in Vegas when at the lightfair in May.

    Such as? There are a lot of people that are smart enough and experienced in other fields to be able to work out how to do these things and do them properly. Restricting sale only serves to limit the market.

    Anyone in the US think it's worth ~$750 for one of these?

    I am looking to install one and use Android as a remote... off to search more now.

    Thanks.

    Call 888 SQUARED and they will give you the name of a local distributor that can get it for you. Should be in the $900-$1000 range.
