Aug 20, 2005 I don't hate Auto-Tune per se but rather the mentality it seems to bring out: 'Pitch' being reduced to a computer-like on/off thing. Naturally a big reason is that a lot of singers today just don't cut it, being a star or in some ridiculous 'reality' TV show seems to be more important than the ART of singing and music-making.

Rush Hour Rewards helps people earn money or credits from their energy provider by using less energy when everyone else is using more. With Seasonal Savings, a Nest thermostat uses its knowledge of a customer’s schedule and preferences to gradually fine-tune the temperatures in the schedule to help save more energy. Both services are powered by Nest’s proprietary Auto-Tune™ technology and offered only through Nest’s energy partners.
“According to data from the Consortium for Energy Efficiency and Pike Research, in 2011, energy companies allocated approximately $9 billion to energy efficiency and peak-reduction programs,” said Tony Fadell, Nest founder and CEO. “Nest’s new offerings have the potential to make these programs not only more effective, but effortless for consumers. We’re working with some of the country’s most progressive energy providers – like NRG companies Reliant and Green Mountain Energy – and applying our design and marketing expertise, focus on the customer, and understanding of technology to make energy efficiency simple and accessible.”
Early results of the new programs are promising. Based on Nest’s spring 2013 nationwide trial in hundreds of homes, it’s estimated that Seasonal Savings can save 5 to 10 percent on energy for heating and cooling (in addition to savings generated through Nest’s Auto-Schedule™, Auto-Away™ and Airwave™ features). With Rush Hour Rewards, customers can earn $20 to $60 per season depending on the energy provider and other factors, including weather conditions.
“Nest has revolutionized the home thermostat in multiple ways and we are very pleased to be the first retail electricity provider to make it easy and affordable for our customers to enjoy the benefits of the Nest,” said David Crane, president and CEO of NRG Energy. “We’ve been working with Nest for nearly a year and we’ve agreed to expand that relationship because of our shared commitment to developing and delivering the next generation of energy solutions that serve the needs and lifestyles of end-use customers. As an industry, residential load management is one of the biggest opportunities that we have to curb spikes in electricity use and when we can make it simple and keep customers comfortable with innovative tools like Nest, it’s a win for NRG and our customers.”
Rush Hour Rewards
Just like rush hour on the freeway, when there aren’t enough lanes to accommodate all the traffic, the electric grid can also get congested on hot summer days. To keep up with demand, additional – and often less efficient – power plants are brought online to cover high-demand days. Energy providers would rather reward their customers for using less energy during rush hours, and Rush Hour Rewards is designed to help customers take advantage of those rewards.
Rush Hour Rewards automatically adjusts temperatures around rush hours. Depending on what Nest has learned from you and your home, Nest might raise the temperature by a few degrees during the afternoon and/or pre-cool a home before the rush hour begins to make sure you’re reasonably comfortable while using less energy during the rush hour. The customer is always in control. To override the temperature, simply change the setting during a rush hour and Nest will keep the temperatures you set.
Seasonal Savings
Over time, everyone gets settled into a schedule. We get used to the temperatures we’ve set and can miss easy opportunities to decrease our bills. It’s possible to save a lot of money by making minor temperature adjustments to your schedule and Seasonal Savings is designed to do that automatically for you, fine-tuning your schedule over several weeks so you don’t notice a difference in comfort.
Seasonal Savings can appear twice per year: early in the heating and cooling seasons. It uses everything Nest has learned about your home and temperature preferences to identify ways that you can save energy without compromising comfort. Nest slowly adjusts temperatures over several weeks – never more than a few degrees total. This allows you to get used to the change gradually to make sure you don’t feel too hot or too cold. Changes could include moving a temperature so that it’s a little bit earlier or later in your schedule, adjusting temperatures a few degrees, or even adding or getting rid of temperatures in your schedule. Actual savings will vary by weather, your usage, and your provider’s rate plan, but Nest studies show plan participants can use 5 to 10 percent less energy when heating or cooling. You can change the schedule at any time, but if you stick with Seasonal Savings’ tuned-up schedule, it will reduce your energy use for the season while still keeping you comfortable. In Nest trials, 80 percent of participants kept their new schedules after the Seasonal Savings service was completed.
Auto-Tune TechnologyDev c++ software for windows 8 64 bit.
Nest Auto-Tune technology looks for opportunities to save people money and then makes adjustments automatically for people who opt into the new plans offered through select energy companies. Using Nest's knowledge of personal temperature preferences and schedules, the weather, and home profiles – as well as Nest’s proprietary algorithms – Auto-Tune makes subtle temperature tweaks while maximizing people’s savings.
Like many of Nest’s features, Auto-Tune technology will continue to get better over time. Auto-Tune can be used to track energy costs, not only showing you when energy is more expensive, but adjusting your thermostat to help you keep to a specified budget. And for energy provider customers on Time of Use (TOU) plans, Auto-Tune can set an optimal schedule to preserve comfort.
No-Hassle, Instant Online Rebates for Nest
For most rebates, you have to fill out paperwork, dig up receipts, mail everything in and wait. And wait. So we reinvented the rebate: we’ve joined with National Grid in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to create an instant $100 online rebate when National Grid customers buy a Nest thermostat, making Nest more accessible than ever.

Crows Nest In Venice Fl
Often in the summer when the temperatures soar, humidity hits 100%, and all attempts at conserving energy go out the window, we experience what's called a brownout. That's when the stresses and demand on the system result in a drop in voltage, to prevent a true blackout.
What if instead of simply watching the overload on the system during those peak demand days, the utility was able to tinker slightly with the thermostats of people who perhaps aren't at home and don't need the cooler temps? They could send that energy to businesses and stores and then transfer it back when people return home from work.
That's the idea behind Nest Thermostat's partnership with progressive energy providers across the U.S.: to provide an incentive for people to use the smart thermostat so that temps can be slightly adjusted, allowing for the savings of both energy and money.
Working with select energy providers across the country, Nest will be offered at a discounted rate via instant rebates when customers sign up for the new Rush Hour Rewards and Seasonal Savings plans. The Nest currently retails for $250.
The Nest Thermostat, designed by former Apple exec Tony Fadell, learns your habits and preferences and adjusts accordingly using its Auto-Schedule and Auto-Away features. With Rush Hour, the Nest thermostat can help users tweak energy settings to avoid over-taxing the system during those peak energy days.
Rush Hour Rewards
As Nest Labs Product Marketing Head Maxime Veron explains to Mashable; think of it just like rush hour on the freeway. 'Everyone cranks the AC and it becomes just like rush hour on the road; there aren't enough lanes and no one can move.'
By allowing the thermostat to determine whether you're home or not, and in response change the temperature by one or two degrees, you can help avert a brownout and get money back from the energy company. Nest might raise the temperature by a few degrees during the day if you're not home, and/or pre-cool the house before the peak time begins — to make sure you’re still comfortable while using less energy.
Before you worry that HAL will be taking over your home, Veron says 'it's crucial you're in control of all the comforts of your home.' In fact, you'll get a notification on both the thermostat and your smartphone app letting you know a rush hour day is coming up. If you want to override the temperature change, you simply change the setting and Nest will learn that you don't like it hot in your house.
Those familiar with the Nest will notice that the green energy-saving leaf icon on the thermostat turns to a gold leaf when you're in Rush Hour or Auto Tune mode.
Nest estimates the savings from using Rush Hour will be $20-$60 per season depending on energy provider and weather conditions.
Auto-Tune
In addition to Rush Hour, some utilities are offering what's called Auto-Tune, which is a way to save money in ways that won't impact your comfort. Based on the Rush Hour concept, Auto-Tune looks at the schedule you have in place and makes suggestions to you.
For instance, my Nest Thermostat is still set to heat my house for winter weather. I'm finding my heat is on, even though my windows are open to bring in the fresh spring air. Not very smart, but I haven't gotten around to tweaking my schedule yet. Auto-Tune will do that for me by looking for ways to make my schedule more efficient.
Auto Tune Crows Nest Park
Just like Rush Hour, I can choose to accept or override the temperature change at any time. Nest will continue to learn my preferences and give me a much-needed, money-saving tune-up. Veron says 'algorithms working in each home and the cloud work together to take everything we know about the home and turn it into something actionable for the customer.'
The subtle tweaks can be as little as a two-degree shift in temperature, but it can result in up to an 8% savings, according to Nest.
Rush Hour Rewards and Auto-Tune are only available to customers of Nest’s energy partners. You can see a list of them and what they're offering here.
