Thousands learned that during ‘Energy Emergency’ you have no control over your Smart Thermostat and will be locked out

Revelations 18:23:’For the merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.’

Important Takeaways:

  • Thousands of Xcel customers locked out of thermostats during ‘energy emergency’
  • 22,000 people lost control of temperatures in their homes for hours Tuesday
  • Temperatures climbed into the 90s Tuesday, which is why Tony Talarico tried to crank up the air conditioning in his partner’s Arvada home.
  • That’s when he saw a message on the thermostat stating the temperature was locked due to an “energy emergency.”
  • “Normally, when we see a message like that, we’re able to override it,” Talarico said. “In this case, we weren’t. So, our thermostat was locked in at 78 or 79.”
  • On social media, dozens of Xcel customers complained of similar experiences — some reporting home temperatures as high as 88 degrees.
