I have had a smart meter for yoncs, which I know is feeding regular

missing something, I thought the SM's were supposed to obviate the need
for the readers to go round?

I thought they did a visit once a year just to make sure it was all
working properly and transmitting the right readings.


Ofgem repealed in 2016 the obligation to (try to) check every meter
every 2 years. They reckoned other safety/security obligations were
sufficient these days. We've had only one look at the indoor smart
meter - and none for the past 5 years.
