Thanks for the info....I will make sure to never agree to any smartmeter crapola.
“oh-la-la.....they can control your AC? Wow.”
I got some blowback from other posters. The point I was trying to make is that the Smart Meter gives the utility the means to remotely control major energy using appliances like A/C units but only if you allow them to install a circuit interrupting device that can be controlled through the smart meter. The more insidious part of Smart Meters is that they can measure your instantaneous usage ( i.e. they can more or less continuously monitor your power usage in real time) which brings into play charging you more for the KWH you use depending on the time of day that you use it. Want to run your washer during the early evening, it will cost you more than if you stay up and do your laundry @ 3 a.m.
