The pandemic showed us just how important our home and personal space truly are. It’s clearer than ever how beneficial a safe, relaxing, and pleasant environment can be for our mental well-being. Smart home products can help us achieve this environment, but some homeowners don’t know where to begin when considering what devices will suit them.
For us, the main benefits that a smart home should provide are simple: convenience, comfort, and efficiency. In this blog, we’ll look at the key smart devices you can use every day to make your home a better place to be. From voice assistants to smart plugs and, of course, smart heating controls, we’ll show how Wiser’s ecosystem of smart home products can elevate your daily living.
1. Voice Controlled Smart Speakers
Devices like Google Assistant smart speakers have a lot to offer in the way of convenience. Voice commands have made it easier to set reminders, play music or TV, and adjust your smart heating, helping you to relax.
Amazon Alexa devices, such as the Echo range, can even feature a digital clock and can double up as a bedside alarm. Alexa smart home devices can wake you up to a feel-good playlist, and at night, control your lighting and play soothing sounds of nature or easy listening music, to help you unwind and drift off. With just a few words, you can set the mood or manage your environment without lifting a finger.
2. Smart Plugs
Want to make a conventional electrical device a smart device? Smart plugs do just that. Simply plug a device into a smart plug and then into the mains, and you’ll have the ability to control and schedule its ON/OFF times from your phone via a smart device mobile app.
Smart plugs let you get creative with your smart home and enhance convenience. For instance, schedule your coffee maker to start brewing just as you wake up, or get the slow cooker to start cooking dinner as you finish work. By using smart plugs, you can shave off extra minutes from your daily routine to take some stress out of your day, helping you feel more relaxed at home. Plugging in items like irons or hair straighteners can lead to that worrying feeling that you’ve left them on after leaving the house!
3. Mood Lighting
Diffusers and candles help create an ambience at home that provides a calming atmosphere, but did you know there are smart home device options available as well?
Smart bulbs like Philips Hue Lights provide greater lighting flexibility by offering several modes and dimness settings. Bluetooth-connected light strips can be used to decorate and warm-up areas of a room, perfect for helping you personalise your smart home.
Add to the atmosphere by adding a smart plug to your plug-in electrical air freshener or wax warmer, and even these can become smart devices. Control and schedule them from your phone, and you could even make your wax melts last longer!
4. Smart Heating
At the heart of many smart home setups is the heating system, and a smart thermostat from Wiser brings this into the connected era. A must if you’re working from home, smart heating controls are the easiest way to manage your heat energy usage and save money on your bills.
Not only do smart thermostats and TRVs make your home more energy-efficient, but they can also make it a more comfortable place to be, by allowing easier creation of personalised schedules. This precise control means your home will always be at the right temperature with minimal input. The convenience smart thermostats provide will complete your smart home!

Bringing It All Together for Daily Comfort
Individually, each of these devices adds a layer of convenience or efficiency, but together they form a connected smart home system. When your smart speaker triggers a mood lighting scene, your smart plug powers up a device, and your smart thermostat adjusts the temperature, your home responds to you rather than the other way around. That is the essence of smart home comfort.
