Standfirst: Wireless keypads, key fobs, sensors and app timers that make outdoor lighting simple to run, whatever the weather.
Most gardens are lit in layers – spike lights in the borders, wall lights by the doors, strip lighting along a step and perhaps a water feature. Switching each one separately normally means running cables back to the house, digging trenches and chasing walls. Wise Controls takes that problem away.
One box, every circuit
At the heart of the system is the Wise Box: a weatherproof receiver installed near the fittings that switches your outdoor circuits on command. The Wise Box Kit V4 runs four separate 5A circuits from one IP54 enclosure and comes with a matching 4-button wall keypad and key fob, so the patio, borders, wall lights and water feature each get their own button. For a single heavier load, the Wise Box One handles one 16A circuit.
Wireless keypads and key fobs
Wise keypads and fobs talk to the receiver by radio, with a range of up to 150m in clear line of sight. Keypads fix to any wall with no cable back to the box, and up to 16 switches and remotes can share one Wise Box – press the fob in your pocket or the keypad by the back door and the same lights respond. Setup needs no software: put the receiver into pairing mode, press the button you want to use, and it’s done.
Lighting that runs itself
For scheduled lighting, the Wise Direct timer range adds app control: set timers or Dusk til Dawn from your smartphone with no Wi-Fi hub required, and the box keeps to its schedule on its own. The Wise-WiFi Direct Smart Timeclock is another option for timed control.
Add voice and app control
Want Alexa, Google Assistant or smartphone control of the whole system? The Wise Daisy hub connects Wise to your home network, while existing keypads and fobs carry on working alongside it.
