“I mean, it was 90 out, and it was right during the peak period,” Tony Talarico told the news station. “It was hot.”
Tony thought his “smart thermostat” would only restrict his energy usage when the weather was cool and mild.

Your figures are too high.
From the website your linked:
“As an added bonus, you’ll receive a onetime $100 enrollment bill credit for joining the AC Rewards program and earn $25 every year you participate in the program.”
Not $25.00/month!
Just $2.17/month.
Probably 90% of the 22,000 residents were libertards falling for the power co. scam. Good riddance. The scam that SCE is running in California might save you $60 a year to take control of your thermostat. Supposedly you can override a shutdown by giving up your pittance of a savings.
Your papers please. Where it is where your house is now for living? We will be shutting down now your thermostat. Next time comply.
Oops, I knew it was $125.00 up front ($100. + 1st month)...but it is $100 plus 1st YEAR. Thanks for the update. Perhaps Joe Biden can relieve them of their contract!! (Like student loans).
Are they also watching and listening
Yellow, red, green, blue and you’re in business.
Never thought basic dumb thermostats would be a prepping item but yet...here we are
Um, no.
My read: Residents signed on for a utility rate discount which specified that thermostats may be directed by the utility under certain conditions.
Residents/ratepayers agreed to it, the conditions presented, the utility executed a command line.
Nothing to see here except stupid.
