Developing good habits It helps me to develop actionable habits. Before, I would do things that I thought would reduce my electricity usage, but wasn't sure how much impact my efforts were. With OhmConnect, it is super clear how much energy I am saving.

My experience with Ohmconnect was a… My experience with Ohmconnect was a rollercoaster of emotions. While the concept is great, the challenges of reducing electricity usage over time and the heavy emphasis on referral incentives left me feeling frustrated. The platform has potential, but it may not be suitable for everyone.

Next to no notice for power events and the way to save feels a lot like gambling. Have seen no real legitimate benefit and the "opportunities" or events to save on power are completely at random and they will text you like 5-10 minutes prior to it starting. So... Don't be in the middle of anything. They also give no indication for how long the events will last. 5 minutes? 10? An hour or more? No clue, they just let you know when it's done. I imagine there is a schedule they go off of but for whatever reason we are not privvy to that information. Can't speak for anyone else but I am rather fond of having a schedule or at least some notice for things that can affect flow of my day. Especially working from home. For whatever reason though they seem to run it like a middle school game of red light/green light and that just makes me anxious and angry. Will probably "spin the prize wheel" to burn up my points because the no notice "schedule" has killed my streak and I guess thats how you "save" by basically gambling for prizes, which seems questionable at best. Its like my power bill has awful loot boxes. Cool.

It's very easy to do It's very easy to do, you get an alert on your cell or email or both, telling what time the event is happening. It always seems to be in the evening, which can be difficult sometimes because of cooking evening meals. I can't always fit it in due to cooking, but I try to unplug everything that isn't in use to help on those night.

It's just too difficult to earn Ohm… It's just too difficult to earn Ohm points, especially in the fall/winter when we aren't really consuming much electricity anyway. We turned off several lights during the last Ohmhour (which are far and few between nowadays) and only received about 200 points. Given that we'd need at least 8,000 for a $10 gift card that's not very motivating.
