Toronto Hydro 4+

It’s like the website except … less. And the website already needs some serious attention from leadership at Toronto Hydro.

At minimum the app should provide access to the PowerLens application on the TH website to track your household’s past energy consumption. A+ if the app could share real time energy consumption taking advantage of the “smart” meters outside my front door. A+++ if the app supported integrations with things like IFTTT and third parties to automate energy decisions in response to, for example, real time time-of-use prices, emissions intensity of the grid, output from home solar panels, etc.

The 2020s will be a decade of mass electrification of everything from vehicles to heating. Toronto Hydro needs to keep up.

App asks you to sign in to see your bill every time you open it. And it does not show useage data other than what is available through bills, which must be downloaded individually, just like on the website.

So, what is the point of the app? Not clear how this is better than just bookmarking or searching the Toronto Hydro website. No additional info or convenience is provided through use of this app.

Useless. You need to enter your credentials every time you open the app. Aditionally, it isn’t really an app, it is just a copy of the web, so don’t bother in download it, you can use a bookmark instead.
