What’s the difference between the SmartFlex Rewards Program and Nest Rush Hour Rewards?

If you have a Google Nest thermostat, you may see communications and alerts that refer to Nest Rush Hour Rewards (RHR). This is Nest's name for programs that work with your smart thermostat to reduce energy use during peak hours. On Nest thermostats, Rush Hour Rewards and the SmartFlex Rewards Program are not separate programs — they work together. Essentially, being a member of RHR is the same as being enrolled in the SmartFlex Rewards Program.

When you first sign up for the SmartFlex Rewards Program, you will also complete a Nest Rush Hour Rewards enrollment on the Nest app or website. After you sign up for RHR and create your thermostat settings, Nest works together with the SmartFlex Rewards Program behind the scenes, using your preferences to keep you comfortable during SmartFlex Events.
