Online Home Thermostat Control Mgmt

13.11.19: Did you know you can alter your home thermostat setting from the Internet anywhere in the world?
Particularly useful when taking a trip and about to return home.
When leaving, we usually turn down in winter and turn up in summer. The day before returning, it is nice to make your home more comfortable for your return.

With PowerStream (our hydro provider in Markham), we can go to a website to make changes to our physical home thermostat.  

By going to the PowerStream site and signing in (with either account number or email address).
Then select Energy Management -> Residential in the top menu and then Thermostat online access in the left menu.
Then click on your thermostat number (left menu) and select:

1. Schedule - to create a new schedule that will override the thermostat 
2. Manual - to create a temporary setting (until next thermostat scheduled setting)
3. Saved Schedules - to delete any online schedules you made 

It is important to remember any schedules you make online will always override any set on the actual thermostat.

Be sure to check Saved Schedules and delete any previous online schedules, once you return home.

Check the Hints and Details section (on the Schedule page), if you have questions.

PowerStream customers can call 1-866-323-0206, to find or reset your username and/or password.
