OhmConnect

I have been using OhmConnect to save some money on my power by turning things off when the grid is overburdened.  It is a way to be green and make some green.  Lately I have a device that is turning off on its own, and I have to figure out why.  You see this device is under their control, so perhaps they turned it off, but how do I know if it was Ohm?  Not sure yet.  Looking at https://app.ohmconnect.com/auto
I can see I made a $1.50 on this device, so I guess it was them who turned off my fan remotely, lol.  I had forgotten that I did this, funny how life can work.  On a different challenge I will give them control of my fridge, as it has a limit of 2 hours and that isn't enough time to defrost the food, so might be a better item for them to control then my fan, which I didn't like turning off so I move to a bigger fan in the living room.  In any event, I have control of what I let them manage, so this is a pretty good way to help the grid on a hot day.
