Traditionally, Australians left the energy monitoring up to their service provider as we never had the chance to monitor it for ourselves. Imagine if you could check on your household’s usage each day, find the areas where you spend the most money and energy, and even set important notifications for when you’re exceeding your set targets for the month.
Electrical solutions provider Clipsal Energy have invented an app which allows us to do all that and more, and it’s bound to revolutionise the way we use power in our homes.
Wiser Link App
The Wiser Link app from Clipsal Energy is like a one-stop energy monitoring shop. This app allows you to observe your home’s electricity usage, giving you a clearer picture of just how much you use on heating, cooling, lighting, appliances, and hot water.
The app can be accessed anywhere you have an internet connection, so it’s particularly handy if you’re away on holidays and want to check on things at home. The Wiser Link system can even notify you of power surges, so you can act quickly if you’re away and need someone to empty your freezer post haste!
You’re also able to set energy goals for your house and the Wiser Link app will notify you when you’re coming close to your target. It’s a great way to keep an eye on growing electricity costs and pinpoint the areas of your house that might be costing more than you think.
According to a recent report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian energy prices have increased a whopping 61 per cent since 2008, meaning there’s no time like the present to be managing your household’s electricity use.

The Future of Energy Management in Australia
