getting smart meters

Indeed , Job half done , electrics sorted now onto the gas meter :eyebrows:

[struth]

[Audio Al]

but will you be any smarter?:eyebrows:

I never was smart so nothing will change in that department :)

[Marco]

Yesh, if it was a daftee-o-meter you were having installed, the reading would be off the scale!:D

Marco.

[struth]

Very true :D

[mikeyb]

Total waste of time, I binned ours when I changed provider

[ReggieB]

I prefer smart yards

Why would you have a meter that’s “smart”, it’s a meter that tells you how much of a product you are using. It’s up to you to make any changes. So “smart” is getting youto do something?

Its “smart” though to enable suppliers to change costs at will.

They're not smart at all. Apparently, 30% of those who have installed a 'smart meter' are dissatisfied. They don't save you anything but are often responsible for incorrect bills, not sending readings at all and you are often not able to switch supplier.

[Audio Al]

It's been somewhat off on the meter readings

Electric £0.05 per hour , yes thats believable

Gas £75.00 per hour :eek: WTF , un plugged and tried again £26.00 per hour :eek::eek: WTF 2

Just switched it off and on again

£0.04 per hour electricity

£0.00 gas as its not showing any amount yet :scratch:

Look so far to be NFG !

[struth]

my supplier offered me them a few days ago. i aint interested. im smarter than they are;)

[hifi_dave]

My supplier sent me a letter asking for a suitable date to install a 'smart meter'. It went straight in the bin. I've read about too many disasters to have one installed. I would imagine, that in the end we all will be forced to have one and suffer the consequences.

[Mr. C]

Same here, apparently no one has refused one so far lol, mention big brother, hacking and its goes very quiet at the end end of the phone!

[prestonchipfryer]

I've had a ''smart'' meter for four years and so far I've saved zilch. Probably cos it's turned off. ;)

Gary

If I was smart I'd get other people to do everything :)

[walpurgis]

Ask them if it's a 4G, 5G, 6G etc device and how close it's safe to be near it long term. They won't want to answer that.

Maybe it has to run in? :scratch:

Probably needs an audiophile fuse fitted to work best - try a Synergistic Research Orange [£155, bargain]. :thumbsup:

[Covenant]

All the energy providers are supposed to have sent an over the air upgrade by the end of this year so the old type 1 smart meter becomes similar to the more advanced type 2 meter.
This would be great if it happened because when you change supplier it would mean your meter could be read without interuption. I have contacted my supplier (Avro) twice to ask about it but up to now I have had no reply. Have you tried reading the external meters with all that digital display that cycles through a stream of numbers?

[Crackles]

They're so smart that the one single thing you want from them - a meter reading - is so awkward I have to Google how to do it every time. I did it last night and on the gas meter you have to press the number 9 4 times for your reading to be displayed. Nothing obvious and logical of course.
