Below are screenshots stepping through the registration process for all California electric utilities.
Click on the thumbnail of the screenshots on the left to enlarge them.
This is the first screen you'll see when you start the app for the first time.
Chose any of these methods to create a new Dr Power account: register using your Facebook account, a Google account, or your email address.
If you chose Facebook or Google you will see a screen presented by them which looks similar to this.
Approve the request to continue.
If you chose this method you will be asked to identify a password as well.
Dr Power needs access to your smart meter data. Each utility uses a different process for this, so the first step is to select the right one for you.
If you have an electric smart meter but your utility isn't listed we recommend you try www.UnplugStuff.com
Select your California utility below to continue with their detailed authorization flow.
PG&E registration process begins here
This is the last Dr Power screen before you are handed off to the PG&E website.
You need to tell PG&E to share your smart meter data with Dr Power. First step is to log into your PG&E account. Note that HEA never gets access to your PG&E credentials.
This selection allows Dr Power to do a complete analysis and send you monthly updates on your progress.
Some users have multiple homes. If so make sure you select the one you want us to analyze.
Then check the box at the bottom.
This should take less than a minute.
But if there's a delay in this process feel free to close the app and come back later.
This is the first screen you'll see as Dr Power analyzes your electric use. Follow the screens to learn more.
Before you can reduce your energy use you first need to understand it. Everyone's home is different, so the first thing Dr Power does is educate you about your specific energy use.
That's the end of the PG&E registration flow.
SCE registration process begins here
This is the last Dr Power screen before you are handed off to the SCE website.
You need to tell SCE to share your smart meter data with Dr Power. First step is to log into your SCE account. Note that HEA never gets access to your SCE credentials.
Legalese from SCE regarding sharing utility data. California utilities are required to make your data available to third parties like Home Energy Analytics.
Some users have multiple homes within the same SCE account. If so, select the one you are interested in.
This selection allows Dr Power to send you monthly updates on your progress.
This is sometimes not obvious; if your submission doesn't work make sure you scroll back to the top of the page to look for errors like this.
Almost done!
Now just enter your name, phone number, city and state, then click Submit.
You're done for now and can close the app.
As soon as HEA receives your data from SCE (normally in 6 to 24 hours) we'll send you an email message.
This is an example of what the email message will look like.
Open it on your phone and click on the link and the Dr Power app will open automatically.
This is the screen you'll see after we've successfully received and analyzed your electric data from SCE.
Click through the screens to start saving energy & money.
SDG&E Green Button Connect not yet supported for Dr Power
HEA's Dr Power app is next in the queue for integration with SDG&E's new OAuth-based Green Button Connect service. We expect the integration to be complete within the next few months.
Until then, we suggest logging into your SDG&E account and trying out our "Unplug Stuff" service, which is integrated to SDG&E's site through their initial FTP-based service. Then we'll automatically let you know when Dr Power is supported for your utility.
To try out HEA's Unplug Stuff service, click on the My Energy tab, and then "Green Button Connect My Data"
Scroll down until you see Unplug Stuff, then click "Enroll in Unplug Stuff".
After we receive your data from SDG&E you will receive an email from support@hea.com with instructions to view the results of our analysis.
When Dr Power is integrated we will send you an invitation to try it out.
