Re: Smart meters
I had an email from eon a few days ago saying..... we need to change your meters, if you don't want it changed yet please call them.
So as usual the email goes in the bin and I have no intention of wasting my time calling them. |

Re: Smart meters
I don't know if it's a software update but both buttons on our smart meter are suddenly now working and I can navigate the menus to get all the readings needed. Consumption is "Import KWh". Button "B" selects the main menu and button "A" rotates through the displays.
The remote display is still a POS and remains discharged and dumped in the cupboard. Utterly useless. Nobody from the utility company (EDF) has ever got back to me to ask if the smart meter is of any use. And I still get estimated bills. :mad: A pointless exercise. :rolleyes: |
Re: Smart meters
I am getting fortnightly letters: "We have arranged to have your SMART meter fitted in a week's time. Please call to change the installation date if it is not suitable".
So each time I call and tell them I do not want one. |
Re: Smart meters
TBQH Taf you don't want this POS in your house. If you want to monitor your energy use go for a third party piece of kit.
I happen to be working on a project with this kit and I have a prototype installed here so I can see the details of our consumption. |

Re: Smart meters
I’ve been at the same address for 15 years and never been asked to have one. I tend to use smaller energy providers but even when one went bust and got taken over by the co-op, I stuck with them a couple of years and still wasn’t offered one. Not that I’m complaining. A local charity lent me an energy monitor about 10 years ago (and never asked for it back), so I have long ago established where the wasteful energy use in my house is likely to be, and taken steps to deal with it. I don’t need, or want, an energy readout cluttering up my surfaces and occupying a power socket I can use for something else.

Re: Smart meters
Eon bombarded me with emails, letters and phone calls going back years, i just ignored i won't have a smart meter until i legally have to have one.
I have just changed to Bulb Energy and so far they haven't asked me to get 1 installed luckily! |

It's kWhr for anybody who's interested, as was with the old rotating disk wattmeters. |

We've been with SWALEC (SSE) for many years, the best deal we can get around here. Sure, some start-ups have offered to save us about £20 a year, but then they required £60 to leave them. The new government "cap" on bills has actually cost us dearly as discounts were stripped from the tariffs. And now it's fairly impossible to find the cheapest due to the vagaries of the "cap" and it's variabilty. ---------- Post added at 10:43 ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 ---------- Incidentally how do gas SMART meters give an accurate cost display? The formula involves the calorific value which changes often, so do they also receive the latest values over the airwaves? |
