That went over worse then the above item here. How do their notifications work? They send emails and texts on demand conditions. After over a year of persistence, I determined that DTE simply won't allow me to configure the ISY to poll the meter. I got the 9941ZS hoping to automatically control lights, appliances and HVAC based on automating the Demand Peak notifications. Especially when the highest rate days are not predictable. We have a lot going on, an timing the chores to appliances to an arbitrary schedule did not go over well.
Just remember to keep your gas lighting levels dimmed, and not melt your white wall insulation.
have you figured out the Insteon gas valves yet? It's all about getting somebody else to pay the bills. This will bring the usage of electrical energy back into mass quantities so they can get the mass produced price down burning.natural gas and other highly polluting fuels. Once they get the general populace under control they will attempt to discontinue natural gas and other energy resources, as is being suggested in Ontario right now by our own Sarah Palin clone. Then they will get penalised for not using enough. It's all about education of energy usage and if people don't get educated they are going to pay more, until they do. If people don't listen they widen the rate difference, until they do. and a shoulder rate to avoid "rush hour" energy consumption. The utilities establish a higher and lower rate for peak / off peak. People don't understand what is happening. They are about 30 years ahead of everybody else so whatever they do is coming to a meter near you. I can't get TOU so I use as much as possible during peaks to keep on my PV 's cheaper for me. Ontario is only up to about 17 cents per kWh so far. Nice! You guys pay up to 95 cents per kWh in Mi! I have the smart meter and their app to measure use, but do not participate in the variable rate program.Ĭan you offer some insight as to why you decided not to participate in such a program? Off the top of my head some basic reasons would be it doesn't meet your lifestyle and hence more likely it would cost you more to be on it.ĮDIT: Just read the link provided by you and wow $0.95 during CPP! They can call the higher rate up to 20 times a year, total of 80 hours. They indicate 10% savings versus the traditional program. Here is an example of how the DTE program works. Look under Dynamic Peak Pricing. You don't know for sure when the demand peak will be called, but generally the hottest business days, during the day. They try to steer you to run appliances like dish washers, washers and dryers, off peak. The higher rate is only applied on demand peaks, and there are a fixed number of those the POCO can impose a year with these programs. I'm seeing this popup in the app repeatedly today.Īnyone else seeing behavior like this? Any suggestions for getting a handle on it? This price is active for 360 minutes." That's almost accurate, except that the temporary rate increase was to $0.60 USD/kWh for 5 hours (600 Minutes), and it was yesterday. They contain information like, "Price has changed to $0.53 USD/kWh.
SMARTDAY PGE PRO
Finally, I now see rate notifications in the MobileLinc Pro app, but they are also wrong.
(The "SmartDay" notification at the bottom of the window is correct - we are scheduled to have a "SmartDay Event" tomorrow afternoon.) For example, the "Duration" in the attached image says the current rate will last for 2016 minutes - or just over 33-1/2 hours - but I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
SMARTDAY PGE UPDATE
Since PG&E's last update to their SmartRate plans, I'm seeing more and more information in both the ISY Dashboard and Admin Console.
