Is this the old problem of RF from mobile devices again, but from a smart
meter? There are ham radio operators all over the world chuckling. To be honest if you were daft enough to stand in line with a radar scanner then I'd expect issues, but in this case... really? if it puts out that much power then think of the cost to the suppliers of all that electricity they would be using in every house?

alan_m brought next idea :
or maybe..... how the pulses from a smart meter placed 1m away from the leads going to someone hooked up to a sensitive EKG machine can also be picked up by the machine? That last seems the much more likely.. |

I don't believe there is a problem from the RF, but the RF and power used is a very short and intermitant pulse of energy and energy used. Remember, the gas meter uses a tiny battery to power the transmission and that has to last for many years. |

Consider if the EKG equipment is picking up the same magnitude of energy from the heart as from a smart meter there must be a much bigger risk when in close proximity to someone else.

Mobile phones modulate their output power to the lowest level needed for communication. I believe this is why you should not use your phone in a plane, because it tries maximum power. Do smart meters carry out this same process ?. |

Do smart meters carry out this same process ?. Smart meters will use off-the-shelf transceiver modules (zigbee, wireless-mbus, sigfox, etc) which will use ISM frequencies at permitted power levels, if your stairlift can't cope with sharing the bandwidth with other devices, it's the stairlift's fault ... |

Andrew explained on 31/03/2018 :
Mobile phones modulate their output power to the lowest level needed for communication. I believe this is why you should not use your phone in a plane, because it tries maximum power. Do smart meters carry out this same process ?. Yes, exactly the same as a mobile phone would, but then not many people sit with a meter next to their brain all day and RF's effect follows the inverse square law. Those most vocal at complaining about mobile masts, are often the ones who make a lot of use of their mobiles. RF output from a phone is not much less than that from a mast, but they are quite happy to put the mobile next to their brain. The more masts there are, the less power the phone needs to use to communicate with it, the lower the risk - yet they complain about the health risks of living near a mast. |

Agreed. FFS I can't see them producing the sort of electromagnetic fields that you get from an arc welder. |
