Just have a telemetry channel as a TV digital channel or even mobile
phone digital channel. Even a very narrow bandwidth would allow vast
amounts of data can be sent, even depending on your electricity
provider. The detector would be mindblowingly cheap if produced in
quantity.


The technology of a fully monitored and controlled system would be cheap
and simple to implement.
The selection of what to shutdown may be more difficult.

It is possible to imagine a more "advanced" system in which appliances,
household and industrial, phone the electricity supplier and request a
reservation (time slot) for consuming power. The appliance would
indicate its expected pattern of consumption. For example, a washing
machine might expect to use 2Kw for 20 minutes to heat the water for a
hot wash and whatever the motor on takes average for 1.5 hours during
washing and rinsing and then what it consumes for n minutes continuous
while spinning. The appliance would indicate whether it needs an
unbroken supply or whether it can cope with interruptions. The appliance
could also indicate the priority of its activity and a deadline by which
it should finish doing what it is required to do.
