Texans Can Use Smart Phone to Control Home Temperature

Texans can now use their smart phone to manage their home’s temperature, no matter where they are. TXU Energy’s latest innovation allows users of its popular TXU Energy iThermostat to manage their home’s heating and air conditioning through a new mobile website that lets them view real-time temperature settings and even adjust the temperature setting, all from a handheld.

The new TXU Energy iThermostat mobile website (txu.com/control) is compatible with the latest models of Apple iPhone, Apple iPod touch, Apple iPad, BlackBerry Tour and Android smart phones (all brands).

“Our new mobile website allows our customers to use their smart phone to control their home’s temperatures from virtually anywhere in the world,” said Jennifer Pulliam, director of innovation for TXU Energy. “Customers want more control and information about how they’re using their energy, and our mobile website is one way they can do that.”

With triple-digit temperatures already having arrived in the state, TXU Energy reminds Texans to take advantage of technology designed to give customers more control over their home’s temperature.

The TXU Energy iThermostat is a fully Web-enabled programmable thermostat that lets customers monitor and manage their home’s temperature through the Internet.
