As of march 15th all suppliers have to install Smets2 smets1 has been bannedSMETS2 are actually rolling out now?
these look quite good just reading ovos's guide - I wonder if all the suppliers configure them the same way

nothing to send the data to a phone/pc, but will show the KW/hr used so far, today, so you can in theory see how much turning the oven on for a period has cost,
they don't say what the moving-average time period is over which it calculates the real time W usage, (would be good if it were a minute or so )
No not possible with any Smets2 system it's a secure network and th DCC won't allow anything external to have access.
KW/pH is calculated every 10seconds to give the most accurate reads possible.
That's a little disappointing, how are we supposed to use smart plugs to run devices when we eventually switch to on demand pricing?
The octopus stuff is giving you half hourly pricing on the following day and an app to then schedule (smart-plugged) appliances,
but like the bulb vari-stuff they have 8p unit middle of the night and 25p+ peak time 6-8pm.
Really need to use your tesla car/battery pack to store the energy overnight . tesla 80KW car packs <$2k, so if you could get 20KW for £500 say, over 10 years about a £1 a week, are probably quids in ?
It says 'waiting for current data' it's been like that for a few days, I've Ower cycled it a few times too, bulb said the data looks like it's coming in to them OK they will speak to their 'smart team'

I'm just in process of moving to Utilita Gas/Elec Smart Meters. Install is tomorrow.
if you look on bulb forum theres a big thread, but this was much more interesting

6 different meters are available all do the same thing and have the same functionality, bar one that is equipt with an extra terminal to provide off peak electric.
Get the ''Smart Team" called and get it replaced, if it's been stuck that long the commissioning has been rushed and it's stuck in a process.
Who were you with before?
My employer lol
(who were the cheapest when I orig joined them and have stayed with for minimal hassle and my monthly cost barely changed over the 5 years i was a customer but the latest best deal they could offer was a bit roo rich for me so i finally changed.)
