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.

This whole OhmConnect has made me more… This whole OhmConnect has made me more aware and conscious of the utilities I’m using and when, I never thought about it before. I feel like I’m doing a small part in the big picture and being rewarded as well, it’s a win win situation.

Got this from ohm connect 07.16.2023 … Got this from ohm connect 07.16.2023 8:06 PST Your results are in! We've calculated the results for your recent OhmHour on Friday, Jul 14, from 7 - 8PM. Unfortunately, you did not save enough energy during this event to earn energy Watts. But wait, there is a silver lining. Because your connected devices participated in this event, you still earned device Watts. Was not home, only things on running internet router and refridgerator.

Very Lovely People to Work With Great people to work with that reply fairly quickly most of the time the same or next day via email. Did take some time to connect my account with SDGE, but did appear to be SDGE account problems that rather OHM Connect. OHM Connect did provide me with a promotional item for a Google Nest device despite delays with my account registration. Overall, very nice people and they will work with you no matter how long it takes.

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.
