I'm imagining a raspberry-pi-sized FM transmitter in someone's bushes causing their (and only their) smart electronics to behave differently. Unless the victim is savvy enough to detect it, or the utility company is concerned enough to investigate, it seems viable (especially as a short-term attack). Good smarthome gear shouldn't cause any harm (or major inconvenience, from that matter) just because the electricity price changes, but we all know the "S" in "IoT" stands for "security"...

Go try taking a FM transmitter and attempt to disrupt a local FM station. Guess what you can’t because they are transmitting 100x of your power.

  If your transmitter is closer than theirs, you can probably overcome this.

  If you're not limited to only the power of transmitter you can legally buy, then yes, you absolutely can.
