Apple Says Home App Enables Linking to Utility Accounts for More Informed Electricity Decisions

By Josh Beckerman

 

Apple said its home app will make it "easier for users to access, understand, and make more informed decisions about their home electricity" through partnerships with utilities, beginning with Pacific Gas & Electric in California.

Eligible users will be able to view their electricity usage in the energy category when they connect their utility account.

Apple introduced updates to its home products and other technology on Monday during its Worldwide Developers Conference.

In September, Apple introduced a new tool in the Home app called grid forecast, to help "inform users when their power grid has cleaner energy available, so they can decide when to use electricity."
