What’s the difference between My Energy Optimizer and Nest Rush Hour Rewards?

If you have a Google Nest thermostat, My Energy Optimizer works with Nest’s Rush Hour Rewards. When you first sign up for My Energy Optimizer, you’ll go through an enrollment for Rush Hour Rewards. After you create your thermostat settings, SMUD will work together with Nest behind the scenes to learn your preferences and manage Peak Events. 

Being a member of Rush Hour Rewards does not require any extra obligations or thermostat adjustments compared to My Energy Optimizer on its own.
