[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1848809, member: 6845"] I would recommend getting a programmable thermostat of your choice with the features you desire. The only thing you will miss is the dynamic control of thermostat settings based on the price signal and the ability for your thermostat to receive the price signal. You can still get notification through email or text messages so you will still get notified of the pricing. The thermostat OG&E provides does work and has some really nice features. My main complaint was the thermostat tries to control the temperature in your house to exactly the number it is set on. So when I had my thermostat set to 75, the thermostat would kick the AC on at 75.2 (yes it does supposedly read tenths of a degree) and kicks off the AC at 74.5 degrees. As you see this can cause excessive cycling on your AC system. So I switched to a programmable thermostat that will allow me to setup precooling before price increase and stop when the price increase happens during the day. Then I just set the thermostat high enough the AC barely runs during 2-7 time frame. [/QUOTE]
