My electric company offers a discount if I let them put IOT cutoffs on my HVAC and hot water, so they can cut power to them during periods of excess demand. I haven't signed up.

Other people allowing those helps prevent blackouts, and keep rates lower because peak demand costs a lot. With mine it just adjust the temperature, which you can adjust back if you're home. Many people keep their HVAC on unnecessarily when they're away at work. And if you really need to stop their control, just turn off your WiFi.
