Default Smart meters: SMETS2 v SMETS1

Don't do it. I gather there are a lot of old meters with duff software they
are trying to get shot of on unsuspecting people. I do not know the problems
with them, but I'd bet they do.

I have just had (another) call from installers working on behalf of my
energy supplier offering me a Smart meter, despite my earlier refusal.

The proposal is to install SMETS1. She says there is no fundamental
difference between SMETS1 and SMETS2 except SMETS2 has a better
booster for weak mobile signals. I said that Which magazine had said
there could be problems in switching supplier. She said this was
categorically untrue. Does anyone know the truth of the matter?

Bizarrely, she said I could get it changed in October. I suggested
this was perhaps a reason for refusing now!
