Anyone who has concerns about smart meters, please ask. I’ve been designing them since 1997, water, electric, gas. No, they don’t spy on your sex life. No, they don’t irradiate your gonads. No, they don’t cause cancer.

Just got a notice in west Michigan that they will be installing these. I’m not so much concerned except if it can be used to ration electricity, in other words, if they can remotely turn your electric on or off. Do you know?

I have a question for you on them if you don’t mind my ignorance on this, but can they be blocked like a cell phone jammer does?

I know you can buy a small cell phone jammer for personal use in your home, what would happen if it was altered to interfere with the frequency of the meter? Granted I understand this would probably be bending a few laws but if you did that could you spoof a meter into ignoring a power down command?

Meaning if the son of a single senior mother in a hot state wanted to keep her air conditioner on during a hot day when you know they will be turning them down could you do it without getting caught easily?

Hypothetically of course...
