## What is Hourly Prices?

Hourly Prices gives ComEd Hourly Pricing customers in Illinois real-time visibility into electricity prices — right from their iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.
As a ComEd Hourly Pricing customer, you pay the real-time market price for electricity instead of a flat rate. Prices change every 5 minutes based on supply and demand. Hourly Prices helps you take advantage of that by showing you exactly what you're paying right now, and automating your home to respond.

Wrist Candy: Your wrist just got a major upgrade. Not only are we officially available on Apple Watch, but you can now slap our shiny new medium and small card widgets directly onto your watch faces as face complications. 
This works beautifully across Ultra watches and Series 10 and 11. Time-telling is now officially optional; looking cool is mandatory.
Retro Vibes: We smoothed out some visual glitches for those of you stubbornly rocking older iOS 26 versions. 
Day-Ahead Schedule Pricing: Fixed! No more accidental dynamic pricing mini-heart attacks. Your wallet can breathe again.
Notification Delivery: Fixed! We found the carrier pigeons that were losing your alerts and gave them a stern talking-to. Your notifications should actually arrive now.
Lower effort on the GPU reducing frames to 15. 
App logo compatibility fix for Apple Watches 
Added notifications for HomeKit devices when they turn ON or OFF based on your thresholds - Home Hub preferred ( Apple TV , Home pods or iPhone connected to the home Wifi )
