AEP Ohio is rolling out a home energy management solution available to its residential customers.

The app-based offering has been described as, "real-time energy management and home automation combine[d] within [an] AEP Ohio branded experience."

Branded as It’s Your Power, the mobile application is available for AEP Ohio’s residential customers via Google Play and the Apple App Store. Customers with homes that are equipped with smart meters can request an Energy Bridge, enabling real-time engagement in the home’s energy usage.

In addition, the Energy Bridge also acts as a smart home hub, allowing for the control and automation of smart devices, including: bulbs, switches and sensors.

As part of the program, customers are offered a communicating Powerley Thermostat, enabling AEP Ohio to execute demand response events.

When used with the AEP Ohio Energy Bridge, the app displays real-time, moment-by-moment the electricity a home is using and also offers the following:

• See your electricity use with an overlay of the actual and predicted weather for any given time. Touch the center of the 24 hour usage dial to quickly see the weather.

• See how much of your electricity use is due to your refrigerator.

• See how much of your electricity use is "always on" or due to those devices that are plugged in, switched on and always pulling power.

• Set a budget goal or electricity usage "Target" for your home and see whether you're on track to meet your goal.

• Use the IT'S YOUR POWER App's Tips and Projects to help you manage your electricity use and meet your goal or target.

• Participate in Challenges to engage the whole family in managing your electricity use.

• If the App is downloaded to an iOS smartphone, use PowerScan to measure the electricity used by any device and estimate how much money it is costing you to run in a month.
