UPDATE: It’s been over two years since the last Wiser Air app update. It appears development on this product has been stopped (read comments). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wiser Air is a smart thermostat that can talk to your smart meter. It will allow energy customers to more effectively manage their energy usage to save as much money as possible. It will also allow energy providers to better anticipate demand and more easily offer incentives for reducing usage during periods of high demand. That’s the plan anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
