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.

Hi there Gene, I understand how that can be confusing and discouraging! We'd love to get to the bottom of what happened during your July 14th event. If you're interested in doing the same, please reach out to our team and we'd be happy to investigate further.
My OhmConnect journey
OhmConnect has changed my energy life, but it took me some time to figure out how to get the most out of it.
When I first started with OhmConnect, I worked hard to turn off appliances and lights during OhmHours. It took some effort, but I was proud to participate in electricity demand reduction when the electric grid needed it most.
Then I got a couple Ohmplugs. They're connected to my OhmConnect account so OhmConnect can turn the appliance or lamp on and off when electricity demand is high. They do it FOR me.
Then I figured out how to use Ohmplug functionality to put some devices on timers outside of OhmHours. I learned when electricity is most expensive and I used the OhmPlug to automatically turn off my beverage center every single day when electricity costs are highest. (And I stopped running laundry and dishwasher then too!)
Next, I got a smart thermostat. I set up timers on it, and it is also automatically control by OhmConnect during OhmHours. The smart thermostatr makes a huge impact during OhmHours and I don't even have to do anything. Plus, I can see (and fix!) on the app when my teenage daughter is cranking up the heat.
Then I got lots more smart plugs. Put one on the fridge. Got pretty lamps. Put them on timers. Now I've got a softly lit house at night, a fridge, a beverage center, and a thermostat that all participate in OhmHours without me having to lift a finger.
Even better, I've become a more informed electric customer through all of this, with a more controlled, lower electricity bill.

Hi Megan, thank you for sharing your experience! We are so happy to hear about how automating your devices has had a huge impact on your energy usage both during and outside of your energy-saving events, that's exactly what we hope for. It sounds like you have a truly amazing system to reduce as much as possible when you can! Thank you for all that you do to save energy and help the grid in its time of need, we truly appreciate you as a member.
Scam at best
Scam at best. Capitalizing on real-world energy usage hysteria with zero real-world services. Read the reviews. It's like eBay their "service" is nothing more than 'false apology technicians' devised from AI in the vast majority of instances. A shame as there's an opportunity for improvement. Instead, we get ohmconnect.

No good explanation as to why I am not invited to participate in events
I have been an OhmConnect member for approximately two years I have plugs throughout my house, and average 90%+ energy reduction during events. Reaching this status gives the participant at 30% reduction in the cost of an item points are redeemed for.
I have not been invited to events since the last redemption of my points. I know events are occurring, as a neighbor just a few streets away is actively participating in events. Her average reduction is around 60-70%. So far, I have missed five events, and the points that go with them. The electricity for my town comes from approximately 100 miles away.
When I asked OhmConnect why I am not being invited to participate, I was told that because of the grid, my participation was not needed, and that even though the person I know is only a few blocks away, they might be on a different part of the grid. As the power for the entire town is transmitted from 100 miles away, the origin point of the affected grid is the same for the entire town.
I can only guess that if you are working seriously to reduce your energy during events and making a good amount of points from it which are redeemed at a discount, your participation is not as vital as someone who just dabbles in reducing their consumption, accumulating fewer points and redeeming them at full price
EDIT: Having read the response below, I note that it is contradictory.
"...I can confirm that any energy reductions, big or small, are vital to reducing stress on the grid and preventing the need to use dirty power plants!..."
BUT
"...This is because we don't always need every member in a region to participate to reach the reduction goals set by the energy grid providers we work with. ..."

Hi again Judy, we're updating our response here to respond to your update. One of the reasons OhmConnect exists is to prevent the need for peaker plants, which are power plants that are turned on when the demand for energy is greater than what the grid can provide on its own. Peaker plants are less efficient, harmful to the environment, and cost more to operate. When the grid is stressed, OhmConnect steps in and asks members to reduce their energy usage, thereby reducing the demand for energy on the grid and circumventing the need to turn on a peaker plant. This is why any energy saved during an OhmHour, big or small, is important. With that said, it wouldn't be practical to call on every member enrolled in OhmConnect to participate in an OhmHour. I understand that may seem a bit confusing considering what I mentioned previously. However, the method in which OhmHours are created and participants for an OhmHour are determined is very complex and precise. There are various rules and regulations that need to be followed which is why it's not practical for us to send an OhmHour to everyone at the same time. You can learn more about how OhmConnect works and how we operate within the energy market by checking out the articles in our Help Center. If you have any additional questions, you are always welcome to reach out to us via one of our help channels.

the program is very unfriendly to household that already uses little energy. when the baseline is very low and the consumption is a little over normal usage, the point calculation makesa significant deduction of points.

Hi Charles, thank you for leaving that feedback. There are a few ways you can maximize your energy savings and your rewards! Smart devices such as smart plugs and smart thermostats help you save more energy per event and help you earn more Watts. Additionally, the more energy you save per event, the greater your status level will be. With a higher status level, you'll be able to redeem more rewards while using fewer Watts. Hopefully this was insightful, and if you'd like further clarification, we'd be happy to chat further! You can reach out to one of our support channels and we'll be happy to share more information.

Too Inconvenient to Use Your Program
You won't allow me to use this in Apple HomeKit. I'm not willing to use a different app to run each smart plug in my house. I think many others would feel the same way. I'd rather spend $5 buying a better quality product and be able to use it in the broader ecosystem. Sorry

Hi Marc, thank you for leaving us that feedback. While the OhmPlug cannot be controlled via Apple's HomeKit, it would just be the OhmPlug app that you would need to use to control the OhmPlug. However, we respect everyone's decision to do what's best for their household! If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team.
