The idea is to control smart appliances..

for instance you can smooth the peaks by turning off a few million
freezers and it won't affect the contents at all.

So how do you *actually* do that in a manner that the user can't easily
bypass?

And I doubt that turning freezers off would make that much difference
anyway they aren't running most of the time and when they are it's not
very much maybe 150 W per freezer. You'd probably get a better result
turning off large screen tellies.


The biggest electricity user in my house is indeed the TV (390w)


Are you using it for space heating?
Mine is 39 watts.
