Get savvy about your energy usage with energy saving apps


T Nest


Owned by Google, created by Nest Labs and linked only to the Nest thermostat, this free app has several useful features. You can adjust your home thermostat by simply using your smart phone, iPad or iTouch, whether in your car or on your couch. App users can view and edit a thermostat schedule and keep an eye on how much energy is being used. You can also opt to receive extreme temperature alerts before your pipes freeze. There's also an option for smoke and carbon monoxide alerts, among others.


Together We Save


Touchstone Energy Cooperatives offers the Together We Save app, which enables users to calculate the energy use of many household appliances based on national averages or use your co-op's rates for greater accuracy. The free app includes roughly 100 calculators that determine the projected energy use and cost of particular appliances and activities. The app also offers 100 practical energy-saving tips.


Smart Hub


The Smart Hub app transmits Choctaw Electric data enabling members to see daily information about their energy use.


6 | AUGUST 2016 | CEC Inside Your Co-op


racking your steps, monitoring your banking activity or locating your parked car—these days, it seems


like there is an app for everything. If you want to manage your energy use, there are several apps to choose from. Purchasing a smart thermostat for your home is another great way to begin managing your energy use. But, if you'd like real information about your energy use, an app can provide useful insight into how certain actions impact your utility bill. The following is a snapshot of a few energy efficiency mobile apps. All of these apps are available for Apple and Android systems.


Essentially, this app helps you better understand how and when you use energy. While all members can pay their utility bill using their mobile device, pre-pay customers can also view their balance. For members who have solar PV systems installed at their home, the app enables them to check their offset power compared to their purchased power.


Lennox iComfort


Like the Nest app, the Lennox iComfort app is only compatible with Lennox products – in this case, the Wi-Fi thermostat. It has similar features to the Nest, in that users can remotely control their home thermostat and other settings. In addition, the app allows users to program the system to an energy savings “away mode” when no one is home. For example, you can select the settings you wish to run, then cancel the “away mode” as you return home to ensure a comfortable temperature awaits you.


Your Energy Resource


While these apps employ the latest technology to help you manage your use, the next generation of energy apps will likely integrate multiple platforms— managing your thermostat, appliances, water heater, home electronics and other devices from the convenience of your smart phone.


As app technology continues to evolve, your best resource for saving energy is Choctaw Electric Cooperative. CEC can provide guidance on energy savings based on your account information, usage, weather patterns and other factors.
