    I am about to update my devices with Wiser Room, when do I download Wiser by SE and do I still need Wiser Room installed after updating devices?

    You can download the Wiser by SE App at any time, however, depending on the age and current firmware on your Bluetooth devices they may not be compatible with Wiser by SE until they have completed a firmware update within Wiser Room.

    No, all your device settings will remain in the device and be available when scanned by the Wiser by SE app.  If you are changing your device from BLE to Zigbee mode it is recommended to perform a factory reset on the device before changing. This can be found in the product installation instructions. Please note that the device settings will be erased when changing to Zigbee mode.
