The newer versions are meant to be more compatible.

The new second-generation meters will allow uninterrupted switching between suppliers. The first generation meters can temporarily lose some of their functionality following a switch, but this just means you may have to read the meters yourself for a little while. It is not a barrier to switching. But soon all smart meters will be on a single, national communication network that will cover 99% of Britain. So then when you switch, you won't need to have a meter exchange and you won't lose your smart features.
