A partner DR portal for Rheem‑connected water heaters.

TubaDR demonstrates how an energy partner can enrol customers, monitor participating Rheem water heaters, and dispatch demand response events through a proprietary platform connected to Rheem TotalView Energy.

Platform

Built to demonstrate the partner-owned DR platform pathway.

TubaDR models the operational layer a partner could run alongside TVE: program references, enrolment handling, device visibility and dispatch workflows.

Program operations
Program readiness

Register approved TVE programs, keep the active program visible, and align partner operations around the selected TVE Program ID.

Enrolment workflow
Enrolment operations

Support the EcoNet customer journey, surface pending enrolments, and give operators a clear approval workflow.

Dispatch readiness
Event dispatch

View participating devices, check connectivity, dispatch load-shift or load-shed events, and retain an operational audit trail.

Operator manages events

The partner team reviews enrolments, monitors devices, and dispatches demand response events from its own portal.
