Schneider Electric's Wiser reveals itself a little more at the Olympia

A few weeks ago, I was in Paris, in a legendary place to discover all the new Schneider Electric products. Among all the new features, I decided to tell you about the Wiser health home Touch and more generally the brand's health home automation range; the Wiser range.

Schneider Electric could not find a more beautiful setting for this event. The company had rented the secret room of the Olympia for the occasion. A room rediscovered in 1956. With a surface area of ​​130 square meters, under its six meters of ceilings and between its four walls is one of the most beautiful places in the capital. We discover there marvelous mosaics, ceramic frescoes and climbing mirrors on the walls. A delight for the eyes!
