They’re not controlling it, just reading it remotely. And it’s more accurate. For some people that meant higher billers, lower for others.



There are thermostats in California that can be remotely changed. Why do you think it’s out of the realm of possibility for an electric company to do the same


Texas changed thermostats


People used to say the idea of smart devices being able to spy on you was a conspiracy. That is, until they found out they can!

They read and can hit a remote disconnect, that's it.

Not even remotely the same thing as controlling the powerflow into your house.

Explain to me how they would accomplish this with a device that fits in the same footprint your old electric meter fit in? Other than possibly just cutting of your electricity?

Additionally, if they really wanted to do that, they could simply put that sort of equipment at the pedestal or poll, depending on your particular service.
