Hey UD Users,
We noticed the Flex Alert site that communicates with the ISY994i has been inactive for awhile now. When this was brought to our attention, we got in touch with the engineers at UD and created a solution to restore the Flex Alert functionality with our software, Ohmconnect.
Ohmconnect is a software-only demand response provider that actually pays you for participating in our energy alerts, which we call #OhmHour. It’s free and it uses existing hardware at your home, the smart meter, to track your energy use. We send about 1-2 notifications each week letting you know when to reduce your power, which will send a signal to the ISY994i. Each time your participate in #OhmHour events, you will see points stack up in the application, which equate to real money that you can cash out at anytime via PayPal or Venmo.
Here are a few things we recommend you turn off or postpone using:
central AC (or increase temperature a few degrees)
space heaters
kitchen counter appliances
room air conditioners
televisions, computers, and unnecessary electronics
ceiling fans
unnecessary lights
It’s free to use. To get started, click here. Once you’re up and running with Ohmconnect, simply monitor this URL with the ISY994i. We’re excited to bring back this service and provide a new level of energy optimization.
The Ohmconnect Team
