How do I get the app for my phone?

Look for SmartHub in the Apple Store® or in the Android® Market. Search SmartHub (not case sensitive but must be all one word). If duplicates appear, the correct app is provided by our partner, National Information Solutions Cooperative.

When you open the app for the first time, you will need to select and confirm “Midwest Electric Ohio” as your utility provider. (Including “Ohio” is important, because other Midwest Electric companies exist.) You will then need to create an account by following the prompts on the screen.
