Hilo by Hydro-Québec 71.0.184

There is a certain appeal to having a truly connected home, and Hilo presents itself as a comprehensive solution for managing your smart environment efficiently. This system enables users to control their entire range of connected devices through a single, intuitive application.

Remote Device Management

• Hilo facilitates seamless configuration, management, and control of all connected home devices from any location, allowing activation at any time and place with ease.

Creating Customized Scenes for Convenience

• The platform allows users to set up scenes that consolidate multiple device controls into a single command, such as dimming lights or changing bulb colors to set specific moods in a room.
• Beginning with four basic scenes can help establish useful routines, which can be expanded upon over time to enhance daily living.
• Personalization options include scenarios like movie nights, weekend brunches, or reading corners, enabling effortless management of several devices simultaneously.

Scheduling for Efficiency and Savings

• Programming devices such as thermostats and lighting systems can lead to notable savings of time and energy, maximizing the benefits offered by Hilo’s automation capabilities.

Reward-based Engagement

• Hilo introduces challenges designed to promote energy conservation, particularly during colder months, offering up to 30 different activities or challenges.
• Successful completion of these challenges rewards participants with monetary incentives, based on the amount of energy saved—specifically, the kilowatt-hours (kWh) avoided through suggested automatic actions.
• This approach encourages environmentally conscious behavior while providing tangible financial benefits.

Real-time Consumption Monitoring and Optimization

• The platform provides detailed tracking of energy usage across daily, weekly, and monthly periods. This enables users to continually optimize their consumption patterns.
• The emphasis on energy efficiency underscores the importance of sustainable practices in everyday home management.
