This is possibly gonna sound a bit wimpish but Ive never pulled a 100 amp

to try and €œ reboot€� my smart meter which has lost its ability to

Mine did that in January. My power company OVO were utterly useless,
kept sending meÂ* emails with questions about LED lamp flashing, but
never actually sent anyone to sort.
Then suddenly last month it burst into life again, all by itself.


Was it after a power cut? ;-)

This self sorting phenomenon seems quite common and Ive often wondered if
its been a power cycling caused by a brief power cut that is €œrebooting€�
the modem.

Anyhow, it would seem that Octopus must spy on Usenet as just this morning
Ive had an email with dates for an engineers visit. (I had also
badgered them yet again by email so the Usenet spy theory might not be
correct.). ;-)
