DENVER — During the dog days of summer, it's important to keep your home cool. But when thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado tried adjusting their thermostats Tuesday, they learned they had no control over the temperatures in their own homes.
On social media, dozens of Xcel customers complained of similar experiences — some reporting home temperatures as high as 88 degrees. Customers receive a $100 credit for enrolling in the program and $25 annually, but Romine said customers also agree to give up some control to save energy and money and make the system more reliable.
jaclynreporting I have propane. Fuck Xcel.
jaclynreporting I have propane. Fuck Xcel.
jaclynreporting No news here if the msg is correct & these customers opted into the energy saving program. Or unless the msg shown was incorrect because it shows there is an opt out.
jaclynreporting Supposedly free
jaclynreporting Solar is the answer.
jaclynreporting They literally signed up for this. Bad journalism.
jaclynreporting The new black market…
jaclynreporting Fine print.
jaclynreporting If you actually read your image, you can see it's because they chose to enroll in this program.
jaclynreporting This is literally just capitalism.
RobertPLewis jaclynreporting This is what happens when you trade your freedom for a small monthly monetary compensation.
jaclynreporting I love my Dumb Home. Thermostat always stays at 64⁰.
jaclynreporting “When thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado signed up for a program to reduce their rates, they learned how the program works during a peak energy consumption event.” Fixed your lede.
jaclynreporting If anybody ends up with the thermostat locked feel free to DM me and I can walk you through bypassing the lock in the settings or push come to shove I can show you how to straight wire the unit at the thermostat to run with a jumper wire or two.
jaclynreporting WHAT....the big brother is happening!
jaclynreporting So it's better to have blackout?🤔
jaclynreporting When the local utility wanted to install ' smart ' meters in my neighborhood, I declined, for precisely this reason....
jaclynreporting Nope not enough money worth loosing control of my AC
jaclynreporting Sounds like something President Potato Head and his handlers would do.
jaclynreporting Keep a standard thermostat on hand that’s not connected to Big Brother in case of “energy emergencies”.
jaclynreporting Thousands found out they took the blue pill... enjoy fairy land
jaclynreporting Just wait until they do this for water.
jaclynreporting This is why I keep denying BGE when they try to sell me on their 'smart meter'.
jaclynreporting 😳
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting Go to those utilities buildings and count how many employees have a space heater in their cubicles for winter time or a fan for summer time.
jaclynreporting You keep voting democrat while calling us fascists and nazis. Enjoy reaping what you sowed. You get zero sympathy. 🤣🤣🤣
jaclynreporting No longer “kings and queens of your castle” xcelenergy is!
jaclynreporting This is why I stay away from smart devices like this. Along with smart door locks. Some things need to remain off the grid.
jaclynreporting Yeah, they signed up for that. Zero sympathy.
jaclynreporting Common sense would have helped people in this situation!
jaclynreporting You mean democrat control states or cities.
OneRedEye21 jaclynreporting This is why Smart homes are actually Dumb homes.
jaclynreporting This is indeed the future the Democrats want.
jaclynreporting WELCOME TO THE WORLD ACCDG TO BIDEN & his FOLLOWERS! Will be a HORRIBLE EXISTENCE! MUST GET OUT & VOTE THAT BUNCH OUT! They want CONTROL OF OUR VERY LIVES!! Sad, sad!,
jaclynreporting $125 to take your control away. 🤷♂️
jaclynreporting Another 2030 liberal dream come true! 👇🤡
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting Stolen elections have consequences.
jaclynreporting What’s sad is it doesn’t take an electrical engineering degree to bypass a thermostat.
jaclynreporting They volunteered for a discount. Understand what you’re volunteering for before you volunteer.
jaclynreporting Maga fascism....😂
jaclynreporting You are a conspiracy theorist, the gov would never control the temp on your thermostat... oh wait, they already are doing it?
jaclynreporting Yall voted for this crap
jaclynreporting I would love to see them do this to John Kerry.
jaclynreporting “Government is just another word for things we all do together.”
jaclynreporting Why are they complaining? It’s for their own good!
jaclynreporting What!
jaclynreporting Problem solved. FJB
jaclynreporting
gordongekko369 jaclynreporting Honest question for anyone who was locked out. Were you not given a way to override the device. I have a Google/Nest Therm and I can still change temp when they do this
jaclynreporting Most of us in Capitol Hill dont even have thermostats in our apartments. Its 'centrally controlled' meaning we pay the hike no matter what.
jaclynreporting They agreed to it for a discount
jaclynreporting “It's a voluntary program. Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives….Customers receive a $100 credit for enrolling in the program and $25 annually.” , how many have since dropped out of the program?
jaclynreporting soon you all will eat zee bugs
jaclynreporting Haha, you get what you pay for. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
jaclynreporting Glad you’re reporting this but…. Do you see the scary thing about this? Especially after Biden’s “GOP are Fascist” speech?
jaclynreporting 'No control' = 'Fake News' 'It's a voluntary program' The opt out is right on the message being displayed. Xcel gives customers $25 anuually to stay in the program.
jaclynreporting GovRonDeSantis have we confirmed this cant happen to FL residents, with regards to cooling?
jaclynreporting internetofshit
jaclynreporting I don't think I could take it!
jaclynreporting Well here in Texas, the temperature is going to be in the low 90s today with a chance of thunderstorms. My thermostat is set to 76° and it’s nice and cool in my home. Y’all enjoy your Democrat lead state government! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
jaclynreporting When you 'opt into' portion tix This was the soft launch.
jaclynreporting Welcome to a democrat authoritarian Marxist city
jaclynreporting This is hilarious!
jaclynreporting voluntary program is voluntary.
jaclynreporting You mean they chose and agreed to it.
jaclynreporting I mean they enrolled themselves all to save a few dollars. They deserve to be locked out
jaclynreporting They will continue to tell us it’s for our own good that we surrender our rights, voluntarily at first, necessarily in the end.
jaclynreporting 'It's a voluntary program. Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives,' said Emmett Romine, vice president of customer solutions and innovation at Xcel. Customers receive a $100 credit for enrolling in the program ...
jaclynreporting Start hoarding non-smart thermostats, people!
jaclynreporting fascist
jaclynreporting This is what happens when you go WOKE! A majority of you decided to vote a bunch of Democrats into office and now look, your losing control of your freedoms!! Time to turn Colorado RED AGAIN!!
jaclynreporting Big government knows better
jaclynreporting I would have went straight to Home Depot and bought a 'dumb' thermostat.
jaclynreporting They should uninstall the smart thermostats and go back to old school
jaclynreporting I thonk i would have unscrewed it and touched the wires together manually.
jaclynreporting Are people THAT incredibly neurotic that they need to be able to change and or monitor their thermostat constantly If anything connects to the internet, do not buy it....
jaclynreporting Maybe report on Texas’ grid and wonderfully well Republicans there are managing things?
jaclynreporting I’ve been flexing that I don’t live under the neglectful eye of ERCOT_ISO anymore, and then xcelenergy decides to have a shit-off here
jaclynreporting wow! I didnt even know those thermostats existed! Will not let them put one in my house!
jaclynreporting How is this possible? Do the customers agree that thermostat can be controlled?
jaclynreporting how long till someone 'jailbreaks' it and unlocks the temp control?
jaclynreporting Blue politics working for the people.
jaclynreporting Would lose my fucking mind
jaclynreporting Democratic communism is what we see friends. California...forced to buy EVs while banning charging them. Control is what they crave
jaclynreporting Keep voting blue and this will continue.
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting Open the thermostat and connect the red, green, and yellow wires.
jaclynreporting Haha Xolorado u get what u vote for
elliemae0404 jaclynreporting Technology is enslavement. They control your car, house, money, and life. Time to drop it all.
jaclynreporting Can the left and right come together and jan 6th a whole power company? For the future and good of the nation please?
jaclynreporting Denver politicians are ruining Colorado
jaclynreporting Mechanical thermostat.
jaclynreporting Remind me never to get on of their thermostats.
jaclynreporting I'm not a tech phobe but this is insane.
jaclynreporting REMEMBER YOU VOTED FOR THIS
jaclynreporting Hell naw! It would be time to move on from the 3rd world 💩hole!
jaclynreporting 🤣😂🤣
jaclynreporting Suckers
jaclynreporting LOL leftist bullshit in action.
jaclynreporting Ban racist thermostats.
jaclynreporting Yank them out and install a dumb thermostat.
jaclynreporting Been noticing phantom adjustments with Nest in Va.
jaclynreporting They signed up for the program. Cmon
jaclynreporting Oh hell no
jaclynreporting Tell your viewers to try to do a factory reset on their thermostat (cycle the breaker if they have to) and when it comes back on don't connect it to the internet. That should give them control back.
jaclynreporting lol
jaclynreporting I love it. Get what you voted for
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting What was the temperature inside xcels offices?
jaclynreporting We could have as much cheap power and water that we could ever want with a building program to create a 1000 Nuclear power and DeSalination plants…. But nooooo… What exactly is buildbackbetter accomplished? A TRILLION $
jaclynreporting It’s terrible, but Xcel CEO says the customers had to opt in to this program.
jaclynreporting this is why everything is “smart”now. smart phones, smart tvs, smart fridges, smart thermostats, smart toilets etc etc. do not underestimate the elites ability to stop you from taking a dump folks,,
jaclynreporting Sounds awesome 🤦🏻♀️
jaclynreporting That's because they voluntarily enrolled in the program and were paid to do so....this is not news
jaclynreporting But hey everyone get an electric car!
jaclynreporting Wait till ya got smart doors and windows you can't get out of. Hm
jaclynreporting MazvitaJames
jaclynreporting Programs like this literally change the preset temperature a couple of degrees. These people aren't sweltering in 100 degrees homes. Get if drama pot
jaclynreporting Cool. Just gonna ignore the part where they signed up for the program that allows it?
jaclynreporting Just wait until CBDCs rolls out
jaclynreporting Colorado is a kinder, gentler place and this is a kinder, gentler rolling blackout.
jaclynreporting Wrong Disconnect the Thermostat from the Internet Solved, these are smart thermostat’s
jaclynreporting damonheller 👀 here next?
jaclynreporting change your Wi-Fi password, like if a judge is committing a felony,
jaclynreporting This is an irresponsible tweet. Customers sign up for programs such as this - and they’re compensated to participate. It’s a voluntary program.
jaclynreporting How ironic when you think about it ... Only a FOOL would have a SMART THERMASTAT
jaclynreporting Do not enroll in these stupid opt in programs, problem solved.
jaclynreporting Right. What did they THINK was the purpose? Of course they are going to activate when the demand is high. It's funny and creepy at the same time. God forbid they introduce 'smart vibrators'. That could be really dangerous.
jaclynreporting Quick, everyone switch to electric vehicles… 🤦♂️ hammerandnigel
jaclynreporting AlexJonesWasRight 🤷♂️
jaclynreporting I'd put in a window unit for those days they want to 'control' your temperature. I'm sorry $100 is not near enough to give up control.
jaclynreporting They gave up the right to control their own thermostat for a $25 /yr rebate. I don't feel sorry for them.
jaclynreporting Public Utilities Are Monopolies & They Won’t Be Accountable To Anyone. XcelEnergyCtr - This is what Fascism looks like. Mussolini accepted completely the principle that the capitalist economic system ought to be managed—planned and directed—under the supervision of the state
jaclynreporting One_Sip_Horus
jaclynreporting Temporarily will become permanent next summer. Do you remember two weeks to flatten the curve.
jaclynreporting Pretty simple to instal or remove a thermostat. If I had one of these 'Controlled' thermostats and they did tis to me I'd remove and replace in 5 minutes.
jaclynreporting Hm, well I guess a bunch of people got to see what millions of people all over the world experience every single day of their lives, 24 hours a day.
jaclynreporting Sensationalist garbage. “NO” control with a simple opt out email at the bottom of the message. get a fucking life
jaclynreporting this company should be sued this is bullshit
jaclynreporting Easy fix take the thermostat off the wall and Jump a wire between red green and yellow
jaclynreporting Override Tip: I learned something years ago in a hair salon with a locked thermostat. The girls complained how hot it was. On of them said, 'Oh, I'll take care of that'. One blast at the thermostat with a hair dryer and on it came!
jaclynreporting If you liked this, you'll LOVE the 'digital dollar' that Biden and the Federal Reserve have planned. First they turn off your thermostat, next they turn off your money.
jaclynreporting the goal is to 'enroll' all of us
jaclynreporting Well I do enjoy the technology of setting my thermostat from my phone app but I also know I can disable the internet connection from my router and get off my lazy a$$, manually set my temp and rock on. A volunteer program is one thing, let’s not blow this out of proportion!
jaclynreporting FAaFO.
jaclynreporting This is why I've been advising people not to get a SMART metre for years. Those damn conspiracy theorists hey!
jaclynreporting In colorado xcel is changing all our electric meters to smart meters…you have to pay them in order to opt out 😡
RicotheViking jaclynreporting Use your Wi-Fi router to block the thermostat from accessing the internet
Terri1618 jaclynreporting People 'sold out' for a $100? 🙄
jaclynreporting First, whenever you get something for free, it will come with strings attached. Second, tape a heating pad to the thermostat. You're welcome.
jaclynreporting So will they also CONTROL it during the winter incase of an emergency or outage? Or will let people freeze and DIE if they're not part of this 'rewards program' and stick it to you w/a big fat bill? Smh
jaclynreporting You mean the program they enrolled in VOLUNTARILY (likely for money savings on their electric bills)? Where it clearly gives info if you want to opt out. That program?.
jaclynreporting This is hilarious, they get what they asked for with that program they signed up for. What did you think the performative activism dopamine was free?
jaclynreporting Gave up control for$100 and $25 a year.🐑🐑🐑🐑
jaclynreporting And I was just thinking about getting one NotAnymore
jaclynreporting If I lived there I would have ripped that thermostat off the damn wall and installed one of them old-fashioned ones you just turn the dial no power is needed.
jaclynreporting What part of opt out don't you get? Obviously these folks signed up for this program so it's not as sinister as you make it sound. Have you been inquiring on one way travel from Washington DC to Minocqua this coming January? You certainly don't deserve to be reelected.
jaclynreporting Another reason to stay old school and not get a “Smart” thermostat or “Smart” appliance. Big Brother is watching and will seize control at will. The old ones work better than the new ones anyway.
jaclynreporting This is precisely why I haven't signed up for this program.
jaclynreporting I wonder how many will now start getting rid of those thermostats. I know mine would have been changed that day.
jaclynreporting Welcome to North Korea
jaclynreporting Next step, rich people can pay to unlock their thermostat while poor people suffer? And love how Xcel is requesting a rate hike... yet still paying dividends. cut your dividends first, then we can talk about (another) rate hike
jaclynreporting That is an AC Rewards program. Can't believe people give up control so easily.
jaclynreporting How do we know if we have a smart thermostat?
jaclynreporting I'm second thinking about that digital gas meter they put in. Couple years ago and now I have solar which I do not own the panels. They can turn that off. I will not buy anything smart Appliance
jaclynreporting It's what the fools get for relinquishing control. I'd be willing to bet they would support a cashless economy too, totally oblivious to what could be done to their ability to buy or sell.
jaclynreporting Hey SDGE SMD and LMB C0MMIS! FGN GavinNewsom GavinGruesomeNuisance gavinnewsom
jaclynreporting That's why I always throw my letters from the power company in the trash when they try to get me to sign up for some program.
jaclynreporting Xcel unaware how ugly some fights over the thermostat can get.
jaclynreporting You get what you vote for. Enjoy.
jaclynreporting My home will never be a SMART home. There is NOTHING green about the technology. This is all about CONTROL, government control.
jaclynreporting Is that 'Community program' or a 'Communist program' ?
karasoth jaclynreporting Wait didn't they sign up for this shit though.
jaclynreporting Yeah those 20k customers signed up to save some money and it's their personal responsibility.
jaclynreporting Just wait until it's winter and you can't heat your house. They'll turn the temp down to 45, but at least you're not freezing. 🤣🤣
jaclynreporting This is what happens when we give control to others. They make decisions for us. Government, healthcare needs! We must take back control!
VanessaGaglione jaclynreporting 👀
jaclynreporting They had no problem getting financial credit for accepting the program but when it kicks in they complain ? Entitlement much ?
jaclynreporting Keep voting progressive liberals in with Marxist agenda and see how much control you lose over everything. Democrats (especially moderate voters) that have common sense really need to research what their vote means over the next two years before it really is too late.
jaclynreporting No control over their own bodies, now no control over thermostats? What happened to the “right to turn”
jaclynreporting This is why you don't connect certain items to the internet. Also get rid of your smart meter while you still have time. First you control the money ✅ Then you control food ✅ Last you control the energy 👉COMMUNISM
jaclynreporting They signed up for it. That's why I never signed up for any of those government programs. I didn't trust them.
jaclynreporting this is just the beginning. to all you clowns driving EVs. beware. they control you.
jaclynreporting A Democrat state. Go figure.
jaclynreporting I will start my search for a pellet stove and carbeurated car/truck
jaclynreporting Preparing for the NWO you will not have control of anything
jaclynreporting Welcome to the beginning of socialism~ Enjoy~
jaclynreporting all of you greenies are all about not using energy. you are supposed to be keeping the temp at 78 or higher during all heat waves. quit yer whinin'. in the winter, the temp is going to be 68 and lower.
jaclynreporting 3rd world shit there.
jaclynreporting Ccot WakeUpAmerica Temperature drops to 10 degrees. government controls your thermostat. 'carbon emissions', think of all the credits! 'pipes froze; sorry to hear about that, we'll send someone over right away' ⬇️ 2 days later 'I'm from the government, I'm here to help.'😉
jaclynreporting No we don't have one. I spent 33 years in the heating and cooling industry. Never had an interrupted meter installed either. Scams
ScottAdamsSays jaclynreporting Might be why all those Hollywood actors are flogging alcoholic beverages, protein powders and exercise clothes.
jaclynreporting Seems like something up your alley in regards to privacy naomibrockwell
jaclynreporting BAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA, the Orwellian nightmare for real!
jaclynreporting ecobee WTF?
jaclynreporting 🤡🌎☑️
jaclynreporting Disconnect T-stat from Wi-Fi.
jaclynreporting What a time to be alive.
jaclynreporting We got to get off all these internet connected items. I don’t need a smart thermostat, smart lights, Alexa device or anything that supposedly “makes life easier” it’s another way the govt can get in and control you more. Gotta disconnect a bit!!!
jaclynreporting Wait till you're living in a 'Smart City'
jaclynreporting Google Nest 👀 SmartMetering uspoli cdnpoli NERC

jaclynreporting Moving to Texas. Gonna succeed from the Union eventually. Large enough and badass enough to do it.
jaclynreporting From 8pm to 8pm? Is this ransomware?
jaclynreporting Now you see what it's really about
jaclynreporting this. but on a pacemaker.
jaclynreporting A Sign of the times.
jaclynreporting Beautiful! That’s why they want everyone to have an electric vehicle, if any.
jaclynreporting It’s for our own good, people!
jaclynreporting XcelEnergyMN evil shit.
jaclynreporting yes. the power company gives you a discount on your bill every month for opting in to this voluntary program. your point?
jaclynreporting 'the greater good' ... Where have we heard that before. Forced control ... Straight up communist mentality. Growing up in Cali with water shortages we would let our lawns go brown etc... But Forced control. Not cool
jaclynreporting Time to get a thermostat from the 80s
jaclynreporting 22,000 Colorado short-sighted sheep said, “Sure! I’d love to give up control of my comfort to a utility provider. For a thermostat, a $100 one-time credit and an annual credit of $25, what could go wrong? Sign me up!!”
jaclynreporting Bwahahahaha
jaclynreporting Pull the thermostat, put an analog or you can do it manually with the cables.
jaclynreporting They signed up for this. Virtue signaling is a bitch. ClimateScam
jaclynreporting This is what happens when you sign up for communism. You pay to be controlled.
jaclynreporting But it looks like they signed up for this?
jaclynreporting Keep voting DEM They have more good plans IN store
jaclynreporting they voted for this. thoughts and prayers. move if you don't like it.
jaclynreporting Welcome to California.
jaclynreporting All part of the plan
jaclynreporting 😂😂😂
jaclynreporting Hey ecobee This is not a good look.
jaclynreporting Vote Democrat - gain communism
jaclynreporting Hey XcelEnergyCO customers. Look at your thermostat installation diagram. You can hot wire your AC but pulling down your thermostat and connecting your ac switch line to the ground, bypassing the thermostat. hacktheplanet
jaclynreporting And they keep voting for democrats.
jaclynreporting All of which was previously agreed to by the homeowners.
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting The more appliances that have internet access, the more control the government has over you.
jaclynreporting WTF!
jaclynreporting Coming to a home near you
jaclynreporting The commies have control in Denver now. What'd you expect?
jaclynreporting Who's lovin' IoT now? Just wait til everyone's on IoB! Coming to a body near you (ie. yours) And you can thank Klaus/WEF for that...
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting 1984
jaclynreporting The bright side, you just saved $2 a month on your bill.
jaclynreporting Smart meter…
jaclynreporting Those new and hi-tech gas, water, and electric meters… Do you think they’re investing that much money for… A. Accuracy B. Easier billing on their end C. To throttle/shut down remotely
jaclynreporting Good. I hope they can only set the heat to 42 degrees in the winter. Lessons that are hard learned, are the best.
jaclynreporting 🤣🤣🤣
jaclynreporting Glad I kept my old Honeywell thermostat when I installed the Nest one before it went to the dark side. If they try that here, I’ll swap it out.
jaclynreporting Hey XcelEnergyCtr if people start dying due to Heat Stroke or Hypothermia.... just remember you're liable for man slaughter. A nice thing to take into consideration that your entire staff and your Executives who invested into your company, every last one of you can be charged.
jaclynreporting Y’all better wake up
jaclynreporting The VERY fine print.
jaclynreporting You get what you vote for
jaclynreporting How to lose all your customers. Part 1y
jaclynreporting A victim of their own choice! Boo hoo!
jaclynreporting Years ago while living in LA county, California, they were going door to door trying to get you to sign up! A friend signed up for this and he too was locked out whenever it got hot! Every single time it was hot.. he was locked out! I was the smart one… I told them No Way!
jaclynreporting and what has YOUR local power company done to you?
jaclynreporting Red 24v tie to yellow and green good to go.
jaclynreporting I would never take part in something like that. My comfort level is not that of someone else.
jaclynreporting I believe 'because you enrolled in a community energy savings program' may be the key words here. In other words, they gave permission. Sorry if that pisses you off.
jaclynreporting we have been warning you for years that making your home 'smart' was a bad idea and that it give control to others, now you have seen what we have known for years and its time to get away from the 'smart' house idea
jaclynreporting Suckers.
jaclynreporting Liberal Left Democrat socialism at work.
jaclynreporting *puts a dollar in the Alex Jones was right Jar.
jaclynreporting You will own nothing, control nothing, and be happy.
jaclynreporting Geeee shocker- another Democrat run city
jaclynreporting Getting pretty close to Authoritarian/Totalitarian Control! But, that's the side of Socialism and Communism that Liberals love. Being Controlled!
jaclynreporting [Insert Nelson laugh here]
jaclynreporting ScottAdamsSays I think you were talking about this possibly happening -- not that long ago.👆
jaclynreporting Reason why we will never have a smart home.
jaclynreporting Wow, what a wake up call! Screw xcel!
jaclynreporting Big brother is watching
jaclynreporting Unacceptable.
jaclynreporting It’s freaking pathetic that Americans are soooooooooooooooo accepting of everything that is being done to them
jaclynreporting Buhahahahahahahaha!!
jaclynreporting ScottAdamsSays we have it in CO! Here's the result. Lol.
jaclynreporting That bitch would be ripped off the wall and replaced with a manual one….
jaclynreporting The beauty of the 'fine print' details.
jaclynreporting The United States Union of Soviet Socialists strikes again, and again ,and again.
jaclynreporting Not surprised, when you vote big government you get big government.
jaclynreporting The greater good, absolute control. 1984
jaclynreporting Unts
jaclynreporting Hahahahaha
jaclynreporting ROFL.....who is the fool?
jaclynreporting I know how to bypass any residential thermostat so F them😂
ScottAdamsSays jaclynreporting Wait until something similar shows up when you go to buy something with your digital dollars because of quarterbacks you did to not satisfy the thing of the week with the government.
jaclynreporting Makes sense to me. Who better to know what our temperature should be other than the government?
jaclynreporting I will never go with smart tech just because someone else can control it.
jaclynreporting Imagine what would happen is a couple 100,000. Cars were in need of charge?
ScottAdamsSays jaclynreporting Welcome to the future in an energy-starved nation that leftist authoritarians seek in the name of 'climate change.' Enjoy the unreliable, grid-breaking, price-skyrocketing energy generated (barely) by 'renewable' power. You guys bought it... you can eat it.
jaclynreporting I'd unenroll from that biatch in a fast sec.
jaclynreporting Big Brother can try but will fail
jaclynreporting Life copies series
jaclynreporting Socialized energy distribution…can’t wait til providers have even less of it to distribute 🤦🏻♂️
jaclynreporting you will sweat and be happy
jaclynreporting Democrats did this by helping usher in covid and still voting for Brandon. Enjoy going broke
jaclynreporting Get one of these hall of famers.
jaclynreporting What do you expect from Colofornians
jaclynreporting 🤣🤣
jaclynreporting Pretty easy bypass. red and green wires. When you are comfortable, untwist them. Buy a different, less democrat thermostat then also.
jaclynreporting Great, now do Texas under Republican rule.
jaclynreporting Don’t get anything “smart” in your house! It’s nothing more then government control.
jaclynreporting Very very scary
jaclynreporting That's why I don't enroll in that kind of shit.
jaclynreporting 0ctoberReignz
jaclynreporting I remember getting an offer in Massachusetts to tie my thermostats control over to the power company. I didn't even consider it.
jaclynreporting internetofshit
jaclynreporting My thermostat, my choice.
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting “Smart Homes” for dumb people. Exactly what the leftists want and the spineless right eagerly goes along with…
jaclynreporting This is the exact reason they want everyone to switch to electric cars. It will give the government control of your movement. Want to quarantine a city due to an 'emergency' ? shut down the power and movement will cease within a day or 2. Wake up!!!
jaclynreporting You just got great reseted, more goodies coming for you earthlings 👺👁
jaclynreporting “Rare” 😂
jaclynreporting In the Summer, all my windows are open. My backdoor wide open too. I have not bad people near me. So I can do this. AC sucks to me. Too frugal. I like to sweat.
jaclynreporting Wouldn’t it be fun to be the guy that gets to control these
jaclynreporting Why is this news? Isn't this the 'Big Brother' these people signed up for?
jaclynreporting WilkowMajority You called it..
jaclynreporting So it begins...
jaclynreporting Put an old style incandescent light bulb near thermostat and see how smart it really is!
jaclynreporting We must prevent a 1 degree increase in the very real and meaningful and not fake and meaningless statistic of “average global temperature” 100 years from now. Your kids can starve.
jaclynreporting And they probably paid extra for it!
jaclynreporting I knew I saved my old thermostat for a reason.
jaclynreporting ScottAdamsSays this is why you dont trust them
jaclynreporting It says right there you can opt put.
jaclynreporting Sounds like a great time to force people into submission and buy a EV you can't fing charge. They want us fat lazy sick and unable to go anywhere. Why tho?
jaclynreporting LOL SEMI-fascist Joe Bidens America
lynssss3125 jaclynreporting Oh hellll no. I 100% draw the line at my thermostat 👀
jaclynreporting It’s all about control
jaclynreporting I grew up without AC. Everyone will be fine...
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting They start by jacking up the price of electric until its barely affordable, then offer you a pittance of relief on your bill if they can just control your thermostat (not that we would EVER do that!). And then you find you have lost control of your own home and your own comfort.
jaclynreporting Welcome to Green Energy Democrats, reap what you vote for! Enjoy your reward in full!
jaclynreporting This is the green agenda Government control
jaclynreporting Elections have consequences.
jaclynreporting Holy crap
RealVeryMary jaclynreporting How long before this is opt out instead of opt in, and then just mandatory, and then managed at your electric meter and not your 'smart' thermostat.
jaclynreporting ZG_State
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting Lol
jaclynreporting Lolol
jaclynreporting This is what the Chinese government does. In late October/early November it’s common to see people wearing parkas inside because the government has not turned on their heat yet.
jaclynreporting Damn,it's here too
jaclynreporting Charging to peoples Teslas should be the first thing shut off…
jaclynreporting They do the same in China, have been for decades. Winter and summer. Commies gonna Commie.
jaclynreporting Change thermostats. Get rid of Skynet stuff.
jaclynreporting LOL shoulda' read that fine print
jaclynreporting Just wait till they do this to the electronic cars they keep shoving down everyone’s throats
jaclynreporting Easy fix for this.
jaclynreporting Oooh just wait. The greenies are going to make you freeze. Control when you do things in your own home AND make you pay out the a$$ for it. Y’all wanted this, right.
jaclynreporting Wut? They can do that.
jaclynreporting They would have learned if they read the contact they agreed to when they took the money.
jaclynreporting Go back through your archives and find the last time an electric utility tried to add more capacity and was stopped because of political hair-on-fire. They’d rather be making more electricity and customers would rather be buying it. There aren’t many alternatives but this is one.
jaclynreporting Welcome to the new America, where the monopoly of one company determines how you live.
jaclynreporting Govt temperature control
jaclynreporting Hell no
jaclynreporting One of the many reasons why this type of crap is not in my home. Only thing connected to internet in my home is the computer, and my computer isn't connected to anything in my home.
jaclynreporting EAT THE BUGS! LIVE IN THE POD!! REVOKE THE SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGES!
jaclynreporting Just be glad it wasn't the 105⁰+ of So Cal
FriendsOScience jaclynreporting 👻🤣😳🙄😂😂😂😂⚡️IDIOTS !
jaclynreporting 'you enrolled in a community energy savings program' Oh dear. Seems even the ones who want to help the planet, actually don't want to if it affects them.
jaclynreporting Now apply that to digital $$$. It's about CONTROL.
jaclynreporting Wtf 😡🤬
jaclynreporting Good thing 'your betters' are controlling your thermostat. We must share the limited power resulting from their artificially induced power shortages. Check the porch. Might be a pack of bugs for snacks out there so you don't have to use the microwave or fridge.
jaclynreporting Utility company tricked you/us. They hid a line of text in the fine print when you “signed up for subsidies” giving XcelEnergy coverage to force it’s customers to “opt out”. Legal disclosures should NOT take advantage of people. Bad form XcelEnergyCO
jaclynreporting Communism sucks

jaclynreporting They opted in to the program; what's the issue?
DarnelSugarfoo jaclynreporting Big Brother knows what's best for you
jaclynreporting This is why you don't have a hackable 'smart' thermostat, and why you do not cede control of anything in your home to anyone outside of it.
jaclynreporting Testing the technocrats control grid one idiot sector at a time. People sleep walking into a nightmare.
Welcome to Democrat Utopia, same as the Communist Utopia.
jaclynreporting But we all need to switch over to EVs because the grid can handle it, right?
jaclynreporting Ah corporate tyranny at its finest
jaclynreporting Just so I am clear on this, my wife’s asthma gets triggered in high heat. If she dies from an attack, who do I sue? You don’t have control over your body… shots, face masks and now the temperature in your domicile.
jaclynreporting Ffs. ''It's a voluntary program. Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives,' said Emmett Romine, vice president of customer solutions and innovation at Xcel.'
jaclynreporting Better than a black out. The alternative is the Texas approach where the grid shuts down and nothing works
DarnelSugarfoo jaclynreporting Its a program they enrolled in. They literally just have to opt out of it lmao
jaclynreporting They deserve this imo. Hope that case is beer a year is worth it
jaclynreporting Sorry to hear of their problems Might want to do a story on all the senior communities that go without air/heat. Google it Even include the locations with the most covid cases Colorado Places With the Most Repeat COVID Outbreaks It's DISGUSTING
jaclynreporting ROFL
jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting We should all get “smart homes” that are connected to the government…err the internet I mean
constanceannh jaclynreporting
jaclynreporting It was later determined that thousands of dads had taken over Xcel during that time.
FriendsOScience jaclynreporting Please don’t give our corrupt federal government any ideas on how to control us😳

jaclynreporting is this real?
jaclynreporting That savings program ain't free
jaclynreporting EcoBee did this in conjunction with Edison in Kalifornia. 'opt out..' you can try, but they never seem to be able to remove your enrolled EcoBee and you'll come home to 84° we moved and were given a new EcoBee by the furnace installer. never connected it to the wifi. never will
ForestColorado jaclynreporting When they give you something for free (money) they take something in return (control)
jaclynreporting When you vote like Californians, you live like Californians
jaclynreporting This is why I reject all 'smart' products.
