My power company does this. Its optional, and you get a $40 credit towards your bill, where they can set your heat pump/AC unit to fan only for 30 minutes at a time during peak usage, then it goes back to regular mode.
I've been a part of it for two or three years and never seen it activated.
They do not have access to my thermostat or anything like that.
That guy can always change his wifi password, which will disconnect that device from the internet.
