The future of consumers understanding their electricity use

I’ve been consuming CAISO’s online reports for sometime now and I’m quite pleased ISOToday has my most often consumer reports easily displayed in the alongside a few new ones. I encourage them to continue their great work. This is the future of consumers understanding how their time of use can have a large impact on emissions, prices and stability of the grid. Keep it up!

Wicked cool app (for energy nerds)

If you're an energy professional and/or an energy nerd, this is an awesome app. It has really taught me a lot about how the grid actually works. Pretty cool.

Alerts Broken

Want to be a good Californian but had to delete ISOToday as the notification function is broken.

I received numerous maintenance alerts in the middle of the night (luckily I didn’t see them as I have “do not disturb” scheduled at night). I went to ISOToday to turn off that function so that I only received flex alerts - but the badge number on ISOToday didn’t go away, and the alerts kept coming. I force quit ISOToday and restarted - still the same problem.

Alerts broken

I don’t need three alerts for each restricted maintenance operations alert. None would be preferable. I turned all alerts off and yet I’m still getting these.

Have an alerting option for the general public. We want to know when we need to try and conserve more in real time. We don’t care about the restrictions on maintenance operations.

Going to disable alerts for ISOToday in OS now.

Great update!

Fantastic update! ISOToday previously was marginally informative, but this update allows the user to access a great, great deal more data. The interface is both intuitive and efficient. Great job!


By


Good info but alerts need work

The info in ISOToday itself is useful, and nicely presented. However, it'd be nice if it didn't repeat every alert four times. It's also be nice to have more control over alerts - for example, to only get alerted for Stage 3.

Webview with js scrips?

I downloaded today and found the response very negative. Seems like ISOToday is using webview and JavaScripts take 60 seconds or more to load.

Notifications are persistent even having refreshed.

Most people are used to tap an icon and have content delivered. But it takes 60 seconds or a pull-down to refresh.. content delivered possibly.

ca-iso should have the best programmers behind ISOToday .

Off topic, I have never been alerted to earthquakes from MyShake, with two major events that rocked my couch from Ridgecrest and Hawthorn.

State of California sponsored emergency apps seem to fail


By


Very useful app

I find ISOToday very useful to alert me of flex alerts and other power issues. Glad I have it on my devices!

Crashes when you try to view alert

There is a repeatable crash when alerts are accessed. It is now stuck with a notification badge that can’t be seen. Please fix.


By


Close to Useless

Terrible App - after reading warnings the notifications remain.
When on the CAISO Grid Warning Notice page, there are no links to the pdf files, only text, and copy/paste is disabled.
Your warnings narrow the alerts down to the State Of California - how specific.
Why are you using insecure servers?


By


Other reviews say it all

1. App doesn’t seem geared towards the non energy user: what does all this info tell us?
2. Alerts:
a). Don’t turn off after you view them
b). Are not specific to an my local area: are statewide


By


How many notifications do you need?

Pros

ISOToday looks great.

Cons

It takes forever to load

While notifications in general are good, ISOToday spews 8 of the same exact notification within a 5 minute span. Why?!! 1. Notifications cost CA ISO money 2. This is like the electronic version of the little boy who cried wolf. There are so many notifications that everyone will eventually either ignore them or just turn them off.

To be honest I wouldn’t have even gotten ISOToday if my power company would just warn us about CA ISO shut off orders


By


EV charging

With ISOToday and SCE TOU rates I determine optimal times for charging my EV. I look for periods of both low system demand and when renewables are likely on the margin.


By


Very well thought out

Excellent app with help pages for every screen.


By


Alerts

Why don’t the alerts clear once they’ve been read? This is giving a false sense of urgency that there is a new problem.


By


Calendar Crash

1) Launch app version 4.3
2) Tap calendar

CRASH!


By


Great app everyone should get

Very well put together and informative of realtime electricity picture in CA


By


Update is great!

The new update is very nice! Much better organized and informative. Great job.


By


Very useful

By


This is awesome.

This should be on every Californian's phone.

Requests

Hi, can we get 7 day history for a node?
