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.


I'd say he has a 42" plasma ......at a guess a panasonic ;-)


And to think he claims to have no heating when he is using electric heating.


So you don't have a TV/freezers/lights/computer etc?
