Strangely, the one dumb meter I have actually claims to have a radio code
clock inside it, which one assumes will be changed when required. I'm not up
in how much control these meters allow from the companies.

They told me that when they eventually fit a smart meter they will also
supply some lcd screenthing to give me more info etc, but of course being
blind this is going to be as useful as a chocolate fireguard!

I have an OVO Smart Meter with E7.

I am trying to ascertain the times of the cheap night time rate
change-overs.
The previous meter was sent the time from an electro-mechanical timer:
which
had no idea as to whether the time was GMT or BST. So of course the
cheap
rate timings moved by an hour as GMT changed to BST and vice versa.
Does anyone know whether the time in the OVO Smart meter changes as BST
and GMT
come and go with the result that the cheap rate time is always mid-night
to
0700 - or does it become 0100 to 0800 as the clocks are changed.
I am currently finding it impossible to get a definitive answer from OVO -
but
they are "working on it". Hopefully they will let me know before the
clocks
next change ! but I would be interested to know if any one else knows.
Given that it is a Smart Meter - then I would have thought the time in the
meter would change as the clocks change and hence the time periods would
always
be at the same constant times.
