TFTC(@TFTC21):A woman in Colorado says her smart thermostat blocked her from lowering the temperature, displaying a warning: "You are not allowed to lower your thermostat set point because the energy grid in your regional area is stressed." She had enrolled in Xcel Energy's voluntary demand-response program, which offers $50-150 in sign-up credits in exchange for letting the utility set limits on your AC. These programs are already running in multiple states.
