Smarthub

SmartHub is the name of a communications tool that was implemented for member’s use, providing more information than ever before on your computer, smart phone or tablet.  SmartHub allows quick and easy access to perform functions including view your bill, pay your bill, schedule a future payment, review past payments, receive bill reminders, update your account and view daily and monthly electric use.

The SmartHub site can be accessed from your Cooperative’s website at www.seiec.com.  After you click on the link for SmartHub, you will see an introduction to SmartHub explaining what members can do thru the system.  Once you enter SmartHub, you will need to register and set up a secure password.

We also offer a free SmartHub app, which can be downloaded for Apple® and Android® mobile devices.  Just click on the link to the Apple Store or the Android Market to begin this process or search for SmartHub at either location.  After downloading the app on your mobile device or tablet, the installation will prompt you to find your electric cooperative.  You can type in “SouthEastern Illinois Electric Cooperative” or just search through the list to find it.  Once you have registered and loaded the app, the SmartHub button will allow quick access to your account.  You can also set up features like notifications to receive alerts when your monthly bill is available, when an automatic payment has been made, and more.

Cooperative members are using SmartHub as evidenced by the number of payments received thru this program on a monthly basis.  The Cooperative receives approximately 4,000 bill payments thru SmartHub every month and approximately 2,000 of these monthly payments are made using the SmartHub app for mobile devices.

SmartHub also allows your Cooperative to provide you with innovative solutions that assist you in analyzing your energy consumption.  You can view graphs of monthly and even daily energy use for your account.  This can help you evaluate your consumption patterns, compare energy use between different periods, understand your energy consumption and possibly learn ways to use your energy more efficiently.

As we begin the summer season, consider utilizing SmartHub and learn more about your energy consumption patterns, how weather impacts the amount of energy consumed and how you might benefit from implementing a variety of energy efficiency measures.

SmartHub is a tremendous tool that provides members with many great features.  We hope you will give it a try and enjoy the convenience and innovation that it brings.
