That's the main function of smart meters, which I already mentioned


in another thread.




I don't think any Smart Meter installations have the ability to


selectively cut the power to appliances. Whole supply maybe but not just


the Fridge.




The ones being installed now are not smart meters at all. They just

get called that because it sounds sexy and ignorant journos are

involved.


Well they are smarter than the journos :-)
