Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
Just had my 'new' smart meter repaired. Only took them 75 days (10 weeks and 5 days) to sort out.

yeah but I am more intelligent than 99% of the population hahaha
Plus I also realise that once roll out is complete a tiered billing system will be in place and we all will lose out in the end

Just had my analogue old school meter gas meter, replaced with another analogue old school refurbished gas meter. Took about 20 mins. God knows why but it makes sense to someone. As long as it isn't one of those smart flaky ones. I love taking readings  .

Octopus managed to screw up my readings when I moved to them last year, even after I gave them the correct ones.
They mixed them up, and tried to blame OVO, who I moved from (this was before I had a smart meter).

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
I like a human reading my meter, it keeps the bloke in a job.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
I've got smart meters and I still read my meters(take a photo) on the 1st of each month then compare to their automated readings and so far all are spot on.

Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs
Since getting my new IHD/CAD I monitor it myself via MQTT and save the data to one of my servers, including the current power usage.
