I am getting one next week - complete with wi-fi connection to my router.
Does anyone have such, and any comments on it?


Apart from the privacy concerns which, if they haven't been done to
death in this group have been elsewhere, I recently found out that if
you decide to switch suppliers you almost certainly will need to
switch smart meters too.


But why is that ? Are yuo sure the hardware is dedicated to one supplier ?
Doesn;t seem to make much sense.

It's a degree of hassle (and possible
expense) that in practice locks customers in to one supplier and
effectively knocks competition on the head.
