Thermostats are already offering this feature in some areas; it'll become more common as time goes on and utilities figure it out.
Until then, low-tech options like using the '4 hours delay' button on dishwashers and clothes dryers let highly motivated users save a little money when faced with high TOU rates, but that's more than most users are willing to do.
