Do I still need the Hilo hub if my devices use a Wi-Fi connection protocol?

Yes, the Hilo hub is essential. It connects your devices to your Hydro-Québec meter, giving you real-time data about your home’s electricity consumption. This data is crucial for tracking your usage during Hilo challenges and is easily accessible through the Hilo app, helping you better manage and optimize your energy consumption over time.
