New: participate in Hilo challenges with your current thermostats!

October 22, 2024  2 minutes reading

Is your home equipped with Honeywell Home, Mysa, or Sinopé smart thermostats? If they’re compatible models, you can connect them to Hilo to participate in challenges and earn cash rewards. Plus, you could receive a bonus of up to $150 per thermostat! Interested? Let us break it down for you.

What are the benefits of connecting my current thermostats to Hilo?

You can participate in energy reduction challenges during the winter months and help relieve the pressure on the network during peak periods. It's all done automatically—you don't have to adjust your thermostats manually. When you successfully complete a challenge, you accumulate cash rewards. During the 2023-2024 season, our customers received an average reward of $135. Plus, you could receive a cash bonus of up to $150 per connected thermostat.

You will receive this bonus within weeks of connecting your eligible device to the Hilo app and after you have accepted the financial assistance agreement. Cash rewards for challenges will be given to you after challenge season, which ends on March 31.

I'm interested! Which thermostats are compatible with Hilo?

Compatible devices include certain models from the Honeywell Home, Mysa, and Sinopé brands and, of course, Hilo smart thermostats for baseboards and heated floors sold on our website. Read our Hilo smart thermostats and Hilo-compatible devices section for a more detailed list.

I own a compatible thermostat. How can I participate in Hilo challenges?

It’s so simple! Just follow the steps below.

  1. Order your Hilo hub, free of charge. This is essential to participate in the challenges; it connects your thermostat to the Hilo app.
  2. Install your hub and connect your devices to Hilo.
  3. Participate in the challenges during the winter months. Hilo will automatically lower the setpoint of your thermostats by a few degrees, depending on the participation mode you have chosen.

I want to sign up for Hilo and purchase thermostats sold by Hilo.

Visit our website to order Hilo smart thermostats and the Hilo hub. Don't forget to schedule installation by a licensed electrician, which is offered at no cost.

Hilo is now more accessible than ever for households that are already equipped with smart thermostats. You too can help reduce the impact of peaks on the Québec electricity grid, while optimizing your daily electricity consumption. Happy challenge season!
