GBIt's very easy to do It's very easy to do, you get an alert on your cell or email or both, telling what time the event is happening. It always seems to be in the evening, which can be difficult sometimes because of cooking evening meals. I can't always fit it in due to cooking, but I try to unplug everything that isn't in use to help on those night.

GBGot this from ohm connect 07.16.2023 … Got this from ohm connect 07.16.2023 8:06 PST Your results are in! We've calculated the results for your recent OhmHour on Friday, Jul 14, from 7 - 8PM. Unfortunately, you did not save enough energy during this event to earn energy Watts. But wait, there is a silver lining. Because your connected devices participated in this event, you still earned device Watts. Was not home, only things on running internet router and refridgerator.

GBDeveloping good habits It helps me to develop actionable habits. Before, I would do things that I thought would reduce my electricity usage, but wasn't sure how much impact my efforts were. With OhmConnect, it is super clear how much energy I am saving.

GBIt's just too difficult to earn Ohm… It's just too difficult to earn Ohm points, especially in the fall/winter when we aren't really consuming much electricity anyway. We turned off several lights during the last Ohmhour (which are far and few between nowadays) and only received about 200 points. Given that we'd need at least 8,000 for a $10 gift card that's not very motivating.

GBI like the idea and more ways to improve I like the idea. But oh connect could be smarter about giving credits to people who are already top energy savers. The current algorithm seems to only count individuals historical record. It probably works well for average Americans, it's giving top energy savers negative impact. Because when weather hits and we need energy to stay warm inside and there's no other places to cut. Btw We believe we are as the consultant who did solar installation for us said he's never seen bills like this after decades in business. How about giving these people some credits even if the energy usage stay flat?
