By participating in the program, members will agree to allow the cooperative to control the thermostat during peak periods.

A smart thermostat is a programmable thermostat that connects to your home’s WiFi and gives you the ability to adjust your thermostat setting to fit your schedule and save energy.

York Electric members can purchase the ecobee Smart Thermostat Advanced or ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium. Both have digital touchscreen displays and both can be controlled and scheduled using a computer or device (phone or tablet).

Both accomplish the same tasks, but the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium has Amazon Alexa built-in. It is voice-activated and has many of the features that come with Amazon Echo devices. The ecobee also comes with an added room sensor to provide more effective cooling and heating.
