Peak demand events: Use the thermostats you already have!

Is your home equipped with Honeywell Home, Mysa, or Sinopé smart thermostats? If they’re compatible models, you can connect them to the Hilo app to automate them during peak demand events. Plus, you could receive a bonus of up to $210 per thermostat! Interested? Here’s how it works.

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

Hilo can automate them during peak events, helping you save on your winter electricity bill. You’ll also be doing your part to relive pressure on the grid when demand is high. It's all done automatically — you don't have to adjust your thermostats manually. 

Plus, you could receive a cash bonus of up to $210 per connected thermostat.
The bonus will be issued a few weeks after adding your eligible device to the Hilo app and accepting the financial assistance agreement.

 

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

Hilo works with select models from Honeywell Home, Mysa, and Sinopé — as well as our own smart thermostats for baseboards, convectors, and heated floors, available on the Hilo website. For the full list, visit our Hilo smart thermostats and Hilo-compatible devices page.  

 

I have a compatible thermostat. How do I take part in peak demand events?

It’s easy! Just follow these steps:

  1. Order your free Hilo hub. It’s required for automation and lets you connect your thermostat to the Hilo app.
  2. Install your hub and connect your devices to the Hilo app.
  3. During the winter, let us help you during peak events. Hilo will automatically lower the set temperature of your thermostat by a few degrees, based on the participation mode you’ve chosen.

I want to sign up for Hilo and get Hilo smart thermostats.

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

 

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