Any body's smart hours thermostat doing this?
It isn't talking to the meter. Call the number on it.
Should still work but it won't get pricing and event information.
so am I understanding this right? you all allow the power companies to have control of your thermostat etc inside your own house?
Why wouldnt we, they do it for Our safety and to save us money?
Yeah, not quite. The thermostat receives pricing information from the meter, but the end user gets to decide what to do with that info.
You can even ignore it if you want.
BUT: it will let you set the temperature of your home based on the rate if you so choose. They don't control the thermostat.
Whoa ..havent heard about that one, but then I'm in Ltown.....H'yuck H'yuck
hmmm according to PSO if you enroll in their 'smart cooling' program they can and will
SMART CoolingSM is a program offered only to customers residing in the PSO gridSMART® Project area. It's designed to help lower your electricity bill and conserve electricity. During the summer months, the demand for electricity increases on the hottest days. With many air conditioning units running at the same time, demand for electricity increases and strains the electric system. SMART CoolingSM slightly raises the target temperature on your thermostat during occasional periods of high electricity use - also referred to as "events".
I will take a pass on the smart meters, it just doesn't sit well with my tin foil hat side LOL
