How the Smart Thermostat Demand Response Program works
If a summer weather event is scheduled, your thermostat may automatically and briefly adjust to pre-cool your home right before the event. Then, during the scheduled event hours, your thermostat setting automatically adjusts up by two to four degrees. You can opt-out of the event at any time.
