Eh hem. These politicians do not understand controls at all. So their misguided attempt to control this would be to cut a low volt circuit. Wow, amazing, like you can't circumvent that switch and jump out the circuit.


For years, power companies have been putting demand limiting devices on AC units so you don't run your AC during peak hours. All a demand limiting device does is cut the circuit, it's an additional switch. It can be completely taken out of the circuit and it would run fine. The average homeowner is completely clueless on how electricity and circuits actually work so they don't question these things.


Even if they take this to a communicating bus, what protocol are they going to use? Modbus? Well, we can build something very quickly to write to those points. Once you understand technology, you can't really be controlled by it anymore.
