Smart home technology and OhmConnect

Isn't it time your appliances paid you?

Smart home devices maximize your home’s efficiency with the tools and products to make wherever you live more safe, affordable and convenient than ever before.
‍
Easy to set up and maintain, smart home devices give you remote access from your smartphone to your home’s electronics, appliances and products - meaning you’re always in control. 
‍
And when you add OhmConnect into the mix? Not only can you put your home to work for you, but you’ll be earning extra cash, too. It’s true! These days, your appliances can pay YOU.

Why connect a smart home device to OhmConnect?

Smart home devices like a smart thermostat and smart plugs  can help you save energy on their own, but their impact is multiplied when they’re connected to your OhmConnect account.

By connecting a smart home device (like a smart thermostat or a smart plug) with OhmConnect you can: ‍

• Automatically participate in #OhmHours without lifting a finger. No more running around the house to power down those energy-hogging appliances, like your fridge. Let us do the heavy lifting for you! Connect devices and we’ll power them off and back on during your energy saving events.
• Participate in our new mini-events, AutoOhms, without even realizing that they’re happening! Connected smart devices get you access to our new shorter, simpler energy-saving events called AutoOhms. Earn a flat rate for every plug and thermostat that turns off. The more you connect, the more you’ll earn!
• Qualify for every MEGA Summer prize drawing. Your connected devices earn you entries to weekly giveaways for gift cards, cash prizes, a Peloton bike, a home entertainment system and more! (Not familiar with OhmConnect’s MEGA Summer program? Check it out!)
• Earn more money than ever before. OhmConnect customers with smart plugs connected to their energy-hogging appliances earn an average of ~2x points during #OhmHours as those without.
