what will they do about people with dumb meters ?


You seem to have missed this in the text you snipped:
q
Under the plans all homes would need to have a third generation smart
meter installed, to include a function that allows meters in the home to
receive and carry out orders made by the energy networks.
/q


Its going to need more than a smart meter to carry out these orders.
All
power switchable appliances would have to be retro-fitted with smart
switches to enable this.Â* I dont see this happening any time soon.

All they need is two circuits, one that the SMETS3 can switch off. After
all, that's how Economy 7 works.


using auxiliary load control switching is all-or-nothing on the
auxiliary circuit; switching appliance by appliance allows e.g. turning
off the EV charger but not the heat pump (or vice versa)
