Free Hilo at Hydro Quebec

Hi!

I have Sinope thermostat and only the HE hub... I'm wondering if I'll be able to avoid buying another hub

@mboisson

I can confirm that Hilo has zero control over my thermostats. My Stelpro thermostats are bound directly to HE through the driver posted above. I use the email notifications that Hilo sends us to trigger my own set of rules for the challenges. I have been working like that for 3 years now.

I use the Home Assistant integration and HADB only to collect the total power usage of the house, which I record in an external database alongside a bunch of other metrics. If the integration breaks, that does not affect any of my automations.

Does this mean that it's possible to be in the Hilo program with such setup?
