Smart Light Switch Pilot Program

What is the Smart Light Switch Pilot Program?

Reduce electricity and save money with our pilot program by using Flick, your new smart light switch! Clean Power Alliance (CPA) has provided our customers with clean energy options since 2018. Now, we are proud to offer a one year pilot program to install Smart Light Switches that help signal you to save electricity and lower your monthly bill.

This pilot will help inform us how notifications from devices like smart light switches influence residents’ electricity usage and provide learnings for future program offerings.

How Flick helps you save energy and money

We could all use a reminder to turn off our lights or save electricity—your Flick Smart Light Switch does just that! During Time-of-Use (TOU) peak periods, when energy is at its most expensive, your Flick Smart Light Switch will automatically glow yellow to tell you that it’s time to take action and reduce your electricity use to save money on your electricity bills and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Your Flick’s Color-Coded System

Flick’s user-friendly, color-coded system does much more than remind you to save energy. It delivers important community messages and provides humidity and temperature tracking to help you identify early HVAC issues for worry-free maintenance.

What your Flick’s Color Means:

BLUE: This signals an important message from management or CPA.

YELLOW: This signals that it is a TOU peak period and energy is more expensive. You can save money by reducing your electricity usage.

RED: This signals that energy demand on the grid is higher than seasonally projected. You can help by reducing your electricity use, which may also result in bill savings

How do I save at home with Flick?

When your Flick glows yellow, you still have total control over your electricity use. It’s simply alerting you that energy is at its most expensive due to high demand. When this happens, use these energy-saving tips to reduce emissions and save on your monthly electricity bills:

When your Flick switch glows yellow, switch off lights, fans, or electronic devices like TVs.

When your Flick switch glows yellow, adjust the temperature on your thermostat to 78 degrees.

When your Flick switch glows yellow, delay running your washing machine and dishwasher until 9 pm.
