...did you notice NV Energy pushing up the temp? They did it several times yesterday to mine. More than 4 degrees, too. I can tell as soon as it hits 80 degrees and would go check. It's not that big of a deal since I can override it, but I was just curious.

You can permanently override it online or through their phone app.

I over rode mine snip snip with wire cutters and installed a regular thermostat. I now have total control not NV Energy.

I have noticed NV Energy doing this also with my thermostats. I adjusted the temps online but they ignore the schedule. Now I manually adjust the thermostats and it works. I guess this is the price for cheap rates, off peak!

I am not on Time of Use yet and as far as I know, we don't get any kind of discount for using the mPowered thermostat.

I've got a great swamp cooler and have not had to turn the air on until this past Friday. I could probably still get by if I could figure out a way to be comfortable in the mid 80's like Scoop, but I pissy (hard to believe, huh) when I get too warm.

I just had to keep going back and adjusting it. We never use it and I am too lazy to go figure out how to permanently override it. Back when I got it, they told me that when they do make an adjustment, it's only four degrees, but they were doing it at least eight degrees yesterday.

My house is 72--- I don't mind paying for comfort

Just received two phone calls from NV Energy, they are raising the the rates tomorrow from 1500-1900. It will be raised from peak use rate to critical peak use rate. I sure am dreading Jul-Aug critical summer rates of $.75 per kwh.

Just curious, but was it during one of their energy-saving events? I use the app on my phone in order to adjust my thermostat, and I have noticed that there are energy-saving events in the late afternoon quite often.

Are you serious? They can't just arbitrarily raise rates. It has to go the utility commission first. I know on Time of Use you pay more between 1:00 and 7:00, but it is only $0.33/kwh. Right now, I pay a flat $0.11/kwh since I have not been switched over yet.
