British gas smart meter beeping

If it's the actual gas meter beeping, they have a battery that should last 10 years (not user replaceable). My mother had the same problem with hers. It was to do with the spend limits being set far too low. IIRC I simply went through menus and reset daily(?) limits from the pre-set few £'s to something she'd never reach such as £30 or something. Seems like a common issue and the bloody device has a rechargeable battery so you couldn't simply unplug it to ease the pain. I was borderline chucking it into a bowl of water to shut the thing up! |

Their website says the pen^H^H^Hengineers always call ahead to let you know when they're on the way, but the radio adverts say they call ahead 95% of the time, presumably they think customers won't mind if they are the unlucky 5% |

So, not some weird tie-in with Linux then? The key clue word here being "annoying" rather than "friendly". :-) Apropos of "annoying", I'm guessing it must be some irritating TV advert that "The Product" endure whilst awaiting their favourite "advert bait" programme to start (or resume - it's all the same thing really, what with it being just a 'legitimate' way to avoid 'dead air' in the gaps between advert breaks). -- Johnny B Good |

That would cut off your supply (if this was allowed). As others have said it is likely to be the remote monitor. Cheers Dave R -- AMD FX-6300 in GA-990X-Gaming SLI-CF running Windows 7 Pro x64 |
