Which contains mostly bull****, technobabble.

They don't transmit low frequency they transmit on UHF to the indoor
unit. Once per day they transmit on the mobile phone channel, to send
the data. The risk is several orders of magnitude less to the customer,
than using a mobile phone next to the head.

I have never heard of an SM being hacked, to monitor their usage, nor
anyones gas or power being turned off by a hacker. There are much
easier methods of finding out if a home is unoccupied, than trying to
hack into a meter anyway.

The one thing he got right, was that you can still refuse to have an
SM.
