Wiser Energy Working For You

INSIGHT
Insight Keep tabs on your home’s energy usage in real-time from anywhere in the world. Gain complete insight into your home’s energy usage to save money on costly energy bills.

SIMPLICITY
Wiser Energy provides homeowners insights into their home activity and energy use through mobile or web applications from anywhere

PEACE OF MIND
Wiser Energy monitors 24/7 home appliances and devices, and allows homeowners to check or receive custom mobile alerts and notifications when appliances are ON or OFF ("Oven still on", "Dryer is done", "Dining room lights are ON")

CONNECTED
Wiser Energy works with Amazon Alexa ® (coming soon), Google Home ™, Philips Hue, WeMo ® Insight and Kasa ™ HS110 smart plugs. A homeowner can ask Google's assistant: "OK Google, ask Sense if my dryer is done?"
Simple, Powerful App

24/7 Access
See what's on in your home at any time, from anywhere. With 24/7 access to your home, you can turn your appliances into smart appliances at once.

Notifications
Create custom notifications, letting you know when things turn on/off. Like when your garage door opens, when your dryer turns off, or if you leave a curling iron plugged in.

Customize
Set energy usage goals, estimate your monthly energy bills, proactively cut down on your energy waste. If your home is solar equipped, you can view solar generation, and monitor your return on investment.
Easy Installation
Wiser Energy installation is simple, quick and straightforward. Once installed by a certified electrician and connected to your WiFi, Wiser Energy takes just seconds to set up through the app.
Wiser Energy will begin to identify your devices in around one to two weeks, giving you crystal clear insight into your home’s energy usage!
Frequently Asked Questions
Please note that due to variances across homes in terms of power quality and in the types of device present, total detection coverage of your entire home is unlikely.
While you cannot “train” Wiser Energy in such a way, we have introduced a variety of features that take advantage of user input to help improve device detection in your home and for the entire user base.
Network Identification allows Wiser Energy to see some of the simple “handshake” messages put out by your networked devices.
Integrations with smart bulbs from Philips Hue and smart plugs from TP-Link Kasa and Belkin Wemo will net you instant detections for connected devices and provides great data to the Data Science team.
Renaming your devices, supplying the make/model, taking advantage of the Community Names feature, and filling out your Home Details feeds the Data Science team great data that improves detection for everybody.
When Wiser Energy finds a device, but you’re finding the detections to be inaccurate, you can report it as “not on.” This feeds our Data Science team valuable information so they can continue to refine the detection model.
Remember, even without native detections, you can still take advantage of Wiser Energy insights. The Power Meter is a fantastic tool that provides a real-time view of your energy consumption. Try turning on and off your devices while watching in the Power Meter, to identify how much they consume. You can do the same for the “Always On” devices in your home, identifying how much they’re costing you every day.
Your home has:
2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network with consistent internet connection. Wiser Energy is not compatible with 5Ghz Wi-Fi signals.
Its own electrical meter and accessible electrical panel.
Your mobile device runs on iOS or Android and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Your electrical panel:
Is a split-phase 120/240V residential panel up to 200A.
Must have enough space to fit sensor clamps with HxWxD dimensions of 3.375″ x 2″ x .75″ (85.73 x 50.8 x 19.05mm), and an inside diameter of 1”. The Wiser Energy current sensors may not be able to fit around busbars. Our sensor cables are 46″ (116.84cm) long and our power cable is 36″ (91.44cm) long.
Does not drop below 32°F (0°C) or exceed 154°F (68°C).
Is not exposed to water or areas with high condensation (Wiser Energy complies with ANSI/IEC 60529 Rated IPx0).
When speaking with your electrician, let them know that Wiser Energy is an energy monitor that installs in your electrical panel with two clamp-on current sensors around the mains, and a 240V breaker which Wiser Energy uses for its power supply and also to measure voltage on both legs. Unless you have a spare 240V breaker in your panel, your electrician will likely need to provide a new one.

Within the first week of installation, Wiser Energy should be able to find some common devices that cycle on and off frequently, like your refrigerator or microwave. Some devices will take longer to identify, until the algorithms have seen enough contextual data to reliably detect them.
There are devices that Wiser Energy won’t be able to recognize right away, but as more Wiser Energy Monitors are installed across the US and Canada, our machine learning algorithms will have more data to generate models from, and the device detection capabilities will just keep growing!
If solar is set up in a subpanel, the incoming solar feed should be within 46″ of the main panel. This will allow the current sensor cable to reach and connect to the Wiser Energy monitor in the main electrical panel. Extension cables are available in lengths of 4′, 12′, 25′, and 40′ should your solar feed be further than 46″ from your main electrical panel. These extensions can be combined to achieve larger lengths, but the maximum length should be no more than 80′. For accurate solar production readings, there should not be any other live circuits connected to the subpanel.
The Wiser Energy Solar Monitor is available for purchase here, or you can add solar sensors to your existing Wiser Energy Monitor. If you aren’t sure if your particular setup will work, please contact our Support team.
Wiser Energy, if properly installed, also meets all requirements laid out in the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC). This means the Wiser Energy Home Energy Monitor has been through an extensive set of industry standard safety tests to ensure that it is safe to use when plugged into electrical power and safe to use inside an electrical panel. Per section 312.8, the Wiser Energy monitor and its current transformers are listed as a system, designed for field installation in a switch enclosure.
Wiser Energy also meets FCC Class B standards for electromagnetic interference. All electrical devices emit electrical “noise” (in fact, the electrical noise emitted by the devices in your house is one of the things Wiser Energy uses to identify them!) — and the FCC has a strict set of limits and requires extensive testing to make sure they are not exceeded. Wiser Energy has passed those tests and should not cause interference with other devices in your house.

Automated systems process the data collected from Wiser Energy monitors to detect devices, send notifications, generate report emails, and power the Wiser Energy apps. Wiser Energy never shares any of this data with third parties without explicit user opt-in on a case-by-case basis (for example, when a utility wishes to provide discounts/services to their customers in exchange for sharing limited power data.) Wiser Energy support employees will on occasion need to access some of this data to troubleshoot issues, but again we will only access this data with explicit permission from you.
