Optiwatt: Local Energy Rewards1.9.8 - App Store

Optiwatt finds local utility programs that pay you for using smart devices at home, like EVs, chargers (including Tesla, Ford, Chargepoint and many more) and smart thermostats (including Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell/Resideo).

Stop overspending on your electric bill because of basic EV charge scheduler apps and thermostat controls that ignore your local energy rates and rewards. Start automating your energy use to shift to greener, lower-cost times-without lifting a finger.

THIS APP IS FOR YOU IF:
- You want to get paid for your off peak EV charging
- You want to schedule your EV charging when your utility rates are cheapest but your car’s app doesn’t let you
- You want to adjust your thermostat to shift your temperature based on your utility rates throughout the day
- You want to charge your EV when solar and wind are powering the grid
- You have a level 1 or 2 charger and want to avoid charging during peak hours

MORE CONTROL WITH MORE DATA
- Import local electric rate date-not estimates
