Optiwatt helps you earn local energy rewards by automatically managing your EV charging and home thermostat usage based on real-time utility rates and renewable energy data. It works with popular devices—from Tesla and ChargePoint chargers to Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell thermostats—so you can save money and reduce CO2 without changing your routines.

Key features include importing accurate local rate data, automating EV charging and temperature scheduling to the lowest-cost hours, and visualizing costs and savings for every charge. Earn rewards from utility programs and get paid via Venmo, PayPal, ACH, gift cards, or charitable donations. It's compatible with many EVs, chargers, and thermostats, and requires no extra hardware.

User Reviews

Users praise Optiwatt for easy setup, automated charging, and energy-management features that help charge during cheaper times. However, the app frequently struggles with reliable scheduling and broader compatibility, with reports of charging stopping unexpectedly and limited support for certain chargers and EV models. Pricing inaccuracies and potential impact on vehicle batteries are also concerns. While some users have positive, lasting experiences and decent developer support, others report stability, privacy, and data issues that dampen its value.

Pros

Easy to use and automates charging so the car is ready in the morning.
Helps optimize charging by targeting cheaper/off-peak times and provides energy usage tracking.
Integrates easily with the EV and utility accounts for straightforward setup.
For many users, scheduling works well over time and supports energy-management goals.

Cons

Scheduling is unreliable: the app often stops charging or fails to start at the planned times.
Compatibility limitations: depends on specific chargers (e.g., ChargePoint) and some EV models are not supported.
Pricing/ billing can be inaccurate due to 5-minute price vs hourly rate calculations, leading to unexpected costs.
Reports of battery health issues (jumpstarts, battery drain) after installing the app.

I connected my EV and thermostat in a few minutes when I was invited to join a program. Simple experience and glad to be supporting my local grid by shifting my charging and lowering my AC in the summer for a little while.

Waste of time, does not work with vehicles or Provider. The support is non existent. Frequent overrides of charging requests and creates logistical problems
