Austin Energy | Smart WiFi Thermostats by ecobee

How it works

Your smart thermostat keeps you comfortable when you’re home and saves energy when you’re away.

On really hot summer days, when demand for electricity is highest, Austin Energy will automatically adjust the setting by a few degrees Fahrenheit on your thermostat for 1-2 hours. Usually on weekdays between 4 and 6pm.

You will always have control and can easily change the temperature to your liking from your thermostat, smartphone, tablet, or computer.

How it works in 3 easy steps:
