Simply, they wouldn't. I haven't heard of any smart meters containing solid state relays yet. Tho Smart meters do contain cellphone transceivers at the moment its for large apartments or units for monitoring usage.

Cha Chiing!
It looks like they just shut off your entire house not just your aircon and its done via a dispatch.
If they want to shed loads they can just shutoff the entire suburb or town not individual houses.
