I'd change to Octopus, then ask them for a smart meter. Otherwise you could run the risk of complicating and/or even delaying the switch between energy providers with relatively newly registered smart meters. I say this because it can take time for the new smart meters to connect to the network - depending on your area, hours, days or maybe weeks. In my area, my SMETS2 meters were sending readings back to EDF within in a couple of days.
Any downsides to a smart meter?

Thank you, makes sense!
Will move to a variable tariff I think and then do some research into their smart tariffs

Do you have any batteries for home, if not id switch to octopus and go on their fixed tariff (no exit fee and going to be cheaper than the variable tariff) for a week or two to get some baseline data and then have a look at this

It will compare prices of various tariffs they offer, if you fancy a look they offer a "Try it out" mode where it uses dummy data to provide an example of what it does.
