I'd do it. The caveat to that is that years ago I adopted allowing the utility to demand control my A/C unit, for which they are still rewarding me $9/mo between April and October. In retrospect, I should have jumped on that project earlier.
Setting up a side network using old network gear would be 100% doable. That traffic could ride along with my weather webcams. They can snoop the weather webcam traffic all they want.
