Not really.
When Ive switched, the new supplier usually contacted me to say my meter is past its working life, and needs changing.
Each time Ive replied saying not interested, and they have not really bothered me again.

Not so true now.
The majority of old meters are now approaching EOL, and are no longer made, so SMART is the only replacement choice.
If they want, they can force you to change, just like they can force you onto prepay. So far they choose not to do this, but the time will come.
On top of that, they are slowly making all the better/cheaper tariffs for SMART meters only, so holding out will eventually just cost you more.
There comes a point when it just makes little sense to keep waiting, a point I have now reached.

Basically when you sign up you get it fixed for 12 months based on the formula used for that period.

The tracker site I looked at shows a daily price.
So I understood it to mean you paid the tracker price each day.
[ Easily done since SMART meters can take daily readings ]
What you describe is nothing more than a fixed rate tariff.
That seems pointless and doesnt seem like it needs a smart meter either.
