American went to lower the air conditioner in her home and her Smart AC gave her a warning she was not allowed to lower the temperature
“My own thermostat was 79 — it had a little warning that said, “You are not allowed to lower your thermostat set point because the energy grid in your regional area is stressed”
This is with Xcel Energy in Colorado
This woman enrolled in Xcel’s voluntary demand-response AC Rewards-style program. Apparently they lure you in with sign on credits of around $50-150 dollars and then they can set limits on your AC.
People who have been in a coma for the past fifteen years are responding in the posts that it serves the woman right because she voluntarily signed up for the program without reading the small print. They are convinced that this will never happen to them because they do everything correctly and anticipate any eventuality.
Idiots.
