Default Where do smart meters get their power from?

Correct, except the gas meter updates the electric meter more
frequently than that.


My IHD certainly only receives gas readings every 30 minutes, whereas
the electricity readings are about every 15-20 seconds.


They may well be battery powered. My oil tank gauge is and it lasts
typically about 5 years on a custom stick of expensive AAA alkalines.
