Extensive lighting design, a high-tech media room and an EV smart charger are key features in the new show home. Matt and Jess Corlieson of Design Builders Taupō chose the PDL Wiser smart home system to give them easy control on their smart devices. PDL Wiser is an easy to use smart home system that pairs electrical features around a home with an app for control from wherever your clients are. They can adjust each feature individually, or link them for curated ‘Moments’. Wiser doesn’t require any special wiring and is scalable, so products can be added over time.

In the Taupō home, Wiser links easily with the striking Solis Collection light switches and power points, making it simple to schedule or adjust the detailed lighting. Lighting plays a particularly important role in the property’s design with statement lights, LED light strips, lamps and dimmable overhead lighting all used to accentuate the home’s design features.

Motion sensors activate lighting in the master walk-in wardrobe and in the scullery. LED light strips set under cabinetry add a soft glow of warmth and make the areas more inviting. They are also used under each staircase tread in the entrance hall for safer passage and to make it more of a feature.

Matt and Jess understand that their clients want to get the most out of life in their new homes and recommend Wiser as a way to streamline daily living. “With the evolution of each build it’s about understanding our customers, and asking the right questions about how they want to live in the home. And then Wiser can be tailored to suit that,” says Matt.

The combination of Wiser and the Solis Collection from PDL in the Taupō show home has created a spectacular showcase for what’s possible. “The products we've got on display are just so innovative,” adds Matt. “A smart home is a really good fit for our customers and our level of build. We want the end product to be the best it could be for our clients. PDL has a great name and they're always a trusted product.”
