V1.1 update breaks live view zoom

After this major update, I miss the ability to zoom out on the live view - before you could pinch to zoom - now you are only being able to see 6 minutes of data on the timeline without scrolling. Otherwise the app is not bad.

Another horrible update

With every update the app gets worse and worse for those who have solar panels and are on the net metering program. The app no longer shows accurate solar production information. It was a few updates ago that it did not show a negative cost when more energy outflows to the system. Make it better for all users.

Constant login required

Login is required often when I haven’t used the app for a while. It’s very annoying.

Terrible App, Unusable

What is this AI slop? None of the features work. The home profile refuses to save. The data is unreliable at best. The usage shows null earlier than 6 months. I don’t know who approved this

Tired of web wrapper

This replaced an excellent app until Hydro’d team cheaper out with this one. Must of been a promotion for some manager.

Is the HydroHome app free to use?

Who is eligible to use the HydroHome app?

The HydroHome app is available to most BC Hydro residential customers. Customers living in apartment buildings may not be eligible due to limitations with the wireless technology used by the optional hubs. For specific eligibility details, it's recommended to visit the BC Hydro website.
