  • If OP’s plan is similar to mine, there are three pricing periods during the day: standard rate charged in the morning/early afternoon, highest rate charged during peak hours of the afternoon, and then a discounted rate charged in the evening/night.

    The idea is to encourage people to do energy intensive tasks like running dishwashers and laundry at night when the demand on the grid is lowest.

    ETA: Sorry, to actually answer your question, yes you could blast the AC early in the day to “pre-cool” for the peak hours. My ecobee is linked with my utility account to sync with the different pricing periods and does exactly that.















  • I deleted my Reddit account and switched to Lemmy after the API stuff. I kinda regret deleting my account because it wasn’t until after that I learned about the apps that would scrub your comment history, but Reddit has a tendency to roll those back anyway.

    I still sometimes end up on a Reddit thread when searching for some technical issue, but I generally try to browse other forums for solutions first if possible.

    ETA: all other social media stuff like Instagram and Facebook I deleted around the time of Trump’s first election. Just got sick of the constant stream of bullshit.
