•  Gexa Truly Flat Bills℠ Plan will not have an impact on your ability to receive electricity from Gexa Energy.
• However, your electricity usage may be reduced when Gexa Energy, during high peak periods on the grid, remotely adjusts your temperature on your smart thermostat. At any time, you can always override the control by changing your temperature during these time periods by going directly to your thermostat or going into the Gexa Energy Optimizer or Emerson Sensi mobile apps.  The adjustment would be temporary and your thermostat’s settings will be returned to normal.

The Emerson Sensi Touch works with both the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

The Gexa Energy Optimizer and the Emerson mobile apps can help you control the temperature within your home anywhere and ant any time on an iOS or Android mobile phone.
