The short version: Don’t buy this expecting a working smart thermostat. Schneider Electric officially discontinued the Wiser Air and decommissioned its mobile and web apps in North America, with support ending September 30, 2021. What’s left findable today (eBay, Newegg, occasional clearance stock) is new-old-stock or secondhand hardware. The thermostat’s physical display and local controls reportedly still function, but the remote-access, geofencing, and app-scheduling features that made it a “smart” thermostat are gone.

We’re covering it because it’s still listed for sale in places, and buyers deserve to know exactly what they’d be getting before they order it.

Who It’s For

At this point, realistically: nobody shopping for a smart thermostat. The Wiser Air only makes sense if you already own one and are looking for a factory-original replacement, or if you specifically want a basic, low-cost, locally controlled forced-air thermostat and don’t care that the “smart” half of the product no longer works.

If you want a genuinely current, actively supported Wi-Fi thermostat, look elsewhere on this site — this is not that.

Setup & Compatibility

The Wiser Air was built for standard forced-air heating and cooling systems, with a touchscreen interface and Comfort Boost feature. Installation followed standard low-voltage wiring conventions. Since the product is end-of-life, don’t expect updated compatibility documentation or firmware support going forward.

App & Ecosystem

This is the core issue: Schneider Electric shut down the Wiser Air’s mobile and web apps as part of its official end-of-life announcement, with support ending in late September 2021. Reporting on the shutdown described local, on-device control as still functional (you can operate the thermostat by hand), but remote access, geofencing, Alexa/Google integration through the app, and any cloud-dependent feature are gone. One independent review of the product summarized it bluntly as “a promising product but likely abandoned.”

Price & Value

Schneider Electric Wiser Air
Price (USD) ~$50–100 (clearance/secondhand pricing)
Where sold Lowe’s (clearance, while supplies lasted), eBay.com, Newegg
App/cloud support Discontinued (end of support: September 30, 2021)
Subscription required No (nothing left to subscribe to)

At this price you could instead buy a current, actively supported Wi-Fi thermostat like Emerson’s Sensi Lite or Honeywell’s X2S, both of which will actually deliver on app-based remote control.

Pros & Cons

Pros:
– Local, on-device thermostat control reportedly still works
– Very low secondhand/clearance pricing where available

Cons:
– App and cloud services are officially discontinued — no remote access, no geofencing, no app scheduling
– No manufacturer support or firmware updates going forward
– Not a reasonable purchase if “smart” functionality is the point
– Availability is limited to clearance and secondhand listings, with no signs of restocking

The Recommendation

Skip the Wiser Air unless you already own one and specifically need a compatible replacement, or you’re fine with a thermostat that only offers local, on-device control. For an actively supported Wi-Fi thermostat at a comparable price, Emerson’s Sensi Lite or Honeywell’s X2S are the better buys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Schneider Electric Wiser Air still supported?
No. Schneider Electric officially ended app and cloud support for the Wiser Air on September 30, 2021, as part of a broader end-of-life announcement.

Does the Wiser Air still work at all?
The physical thermostat and its local display/controls reportedly still function, but remote app access, geofencing, and cloud-dependent smart features do not.

Should I buy a used Wiser Air if I find one cheap?
Only if you specifically want a basic, locally controlled thermostat and understand that none of its smart features work. For genuine smart-thermostat functionality at a similar price, buy a currently supported model instead.
