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


Mine, gas and electricity, were installed in May 2014 and the
changeover was completed in May this year; they say they installed a
lot of meters last year. I have today emailed for the second time to
complain about the lack of month-by-month data, which apparently they
have, because they rolled up a year's charges into a single bill, and
to ask for an explantion about last month's bill being estimated. I
did get 3% interest on the credit balance, of course, which was higher
than if they'd billed me monthly.

They also gave me a little wireless (not wifi) display that shows
consumption remotely but is useless for any practical purposes. The
cost estimates on it are way out as well.
If the router link is to an app or a web page then it would probably
be an improvement.
