About this app

There’s no place like home, especially when it’s a smart home. Say hello to Hilo, and discover how to control your entire home with a single app.

Manage your devices wherever you are
Hilo allows you to configure, manage and control all your connected home devices with ease. Activate them whenever and wherever you want.

Create scenes to make your life easier
A scene allows you to control several devices in one go and create the mood for a room by dimming a light or changing the colour of bulbs, for example.

Start by creating 4 basic scenes, then take the time to define key moments to help you make the most of your Hilo home.

Get creative! Movie night, Sunday brunch, reading corner . . . Create the scenes you want and manage several devices with a single command. Let your home take care of you around the clock.

Program your devices to save time and energy
Program your favorite devices, such as your thermostats and lights, and you’ll save time and energy. Make the most of what Hilo has to offer!

Rise to the challenge, get money in return
Get rewards with Hilo challenges! During the cold months, we suggest up to 30 Hilo challenges. If you successfully complete them, you’ll reap a cash reward. The formula is simple: Accept the automatic action suggested by Hilo and obtain a reward for each kilowatthour (kWh) that you don’t use. Completing a Hilo challenge is a small move that's good for both your wallet and the planet.

Track and optimize your energy consumption in real time
Hilo allows you to track your consumption by day, week or month. The goal is to keep optimizing your energy use. Being energy smart? You’ve got this!

Ratings and reviews

App is disconnected from Hydro and can't do the challenges, rendering it useless. All that, without telling me there is a technical issue to be resolved. Customer support has been poor, it has taken 3 weeks and the issue isn't solved yet

The app functions well however the fact that you are disqualified from a challenge because a previous Google home routine was running and triggered a scene is unfortunate. Having to remember to disable Google routines that run 24/7 for the challenges is going to be a challenge of itself

Nice to know the near real time energy consumption of your house and be able to remotely control it.
