If you're in Texas, they'll throttle your AC remotely during peak power demand in the summer

That's because they enrolled their thermostat into Nest's Rush Hour Rewards program with their Utility provider. If you don't enroll, you won't be throttled.

Claiming the instant saving coupons on these websites doesn't indicate the customers are required to participate in these programs. (Although Nest's app sometimes might be persuading you to enroll after you installed your thermostat)

Kind of odd that the second gen Nest Doorbell Wired isn't on the list.

CA does that also. Its more reason to go off grid not join a bigger one.

All power in Texas or at least Dallas area is through oncor. Gexa is just a billing provider. You are also eligible .

So much FUD here. If don't enroll your thermostat in your local Demand-Response (DR) initiative (also referred to as a "rush hour" during an actual DR event) , then no one but yourself can control your temps, full stop. There's no way for utilities to know who you are and track the login/MAC address of your smart thermostat unless you do this.

I actually *wish* I could enroll in the local program here because Id get a $50 check per year per thermostat enrolled... But my thermostat isn't compatible. If you have a high efficiency heat pump, you likely can't enroll either.

You can also just override the rush hour event if you wish, at the moment of initiation. However you won't get all the free $ if you do this.
