The HydroHome app gives BC Hydro customers tools and insights to track, understand and manage their home’s electricity use anywhere, anytime.

Features of the free app:
- Your whole home’s hourly energy use data up to the previous day.
- A breakdown of how your home uses energy.
- Insights and tips to help you save.
- Custom notifications based on your budget.

If you purchase a hub (optional) through the app, additional features are available:
- Real-time data that shows how much electricity your home’s using right now.
- Connect compatible smart home devices to see device-specific energy use.
- Control compatible smart home devices (lights, thermostats, plugs, etc.) all in one app.

With greater knowledge of your home’s energy use, you can take actions to save energy and money.

The HydroHome app is available to most BC Hydro residential customers. Hubs aren’t available to customers in apartment buildings due to limitations with the wireless technology.

Ratings and reviews

KISS Keep it simple s..... You have made finding the most commonly accessed information harder to find and use. You request house information that is only partially relevant and then use this to base constantly on loads?? How is this accurate. I used to access this to ensure my house is functioning properly. Now I don't have time to waste. I have deleted it as it is a waste of time and energy.

doesn't really do a good job when you change rate plans. in no way should I show usage without dollars. it's a weird thing they struggle to keep up with.

I wonder about where this ap was developed. Some phrasing makes me scratch my head. ESL? Also, it does it feels awkward and does not seem to have settings to modify. After a week of using, I looked to find a replacement ap. No luck. I'm stuck with this
