And people wonder why I'm not wasting my time having one fitted.


They can't even get estimated readings anywhere near right.
I know that it should be the same as the same quarter last year to
within a fiver plus or minus, simple as that.
As trustworthy with tech as the Post office and their "Horizon"
accounting package, cui bono there, we still don't know .

Probably just an automatic send. Check they are receiving your
consumption readings on line.

In the case of our village hall they aren't. It failed 2 months after
installation for no mobile signal service visit and again six months
after that (they gave up at that point). We already have the highest
gain antenna that they can stick on it.

My own house will be even worse for mobile signal level. They are
agitating to replace my antediluvian counter rotating dials one!
(it has recently clocked itself modulo maximum possible reading)

When Ovo installed my smart meters a few years ago it took a while for
them to get the automatic reading/billing organised. (No longer with
Ovo so smart meters no longer smart.)

I guess you are right

I'm not going to supply them with a reading and will seed what happens

I can always correct it later

Well EDF ineptitude means I have a smart meter but the device to read it
for me as a blind person has vanished in the internal cock up department so
they are having to send me another then book an engineer to pair it.
I do often worry about the ability of people to follow simple instructions,
like check screen for special requirements put there by priority services,
and follow them, don't assume you know a better way to do what should be
simple.
