Overview

Wiser Home is an internet connected smart home control system focusing primarily on heating but also allowing control of smart plugs, lighting, and shutters, with further device types planned for the future. The system allows multi-zone heating control whereby a user’s home may be divided into ‘rooms’, each being capable of individual temperature control.

Wiser Home Essential API that is available to our partners and describes how any HTTPS enabled client (e.g. an App, Browser, Python script, etc.) can retrieve current and historical data about the Wiser Home system and perform certain control actions such as changing the heating set point. The API is web-based and deals exclusively with the HTTPS Protocol and JSON-encoded text in HTTP request/response bodies.
