When we bought our house, the previous owners had already signed up for programmable thermostats through KCPL.
I hate them. Especially during the summer, as they have built in time buffers that shut my AC down after a certain period of time (it's limited to 20 minutes on, then must stay off for 30 minutes).
The idea of a wired household sounds cool, but not if it includes the power company being able to place buffers on your usage that you can't affect.
