We were with SSE until our lock-in expired. We had a SSE smart meter fitted and after a while it kept beeping to let you know it was no receiving a signal to mother. I'm a light sleeper and could hear this beeping over a couple of night. One night I got annoyed and went to the kitchen, unplugged the bloody thing and launched it up the garden .

Smart meter will lead to smart billing in time .

I have smart meters installed via OVO energy. I don’t use the energy consumption gizmo, it’s boring data, but the meters send their readings each month over the ether to OVO and it’s all great so far as I’m concerned. I guess I successfully have smart billing. |

I think smart billing will mean that the suppliers will know in real time when you, as an individual consumer, are using most electric power and bill you at a higher unit rate, never mind the time or nationwide demand.

I'm supposed to be having a smart meter fitted next Monday (my choice and its free) - Is it not worth the hassle then as I believe they swap the gas an electric meters as well. |

Wife had one fitted, the irony of having a plug in device to tell you how much power you are using. Been in the drawer ever since, load of old boll@cks.. |

Weve had one for a couple of years and find it very useful.

Ours is handy as it shows clearly when the wife's car is charging or has finished! |

Seems if you have 2 electric supplies into your home you can't get a smart meter. As usual if you are not 'standard' you get nothing 56 TDV8 Vogue SE

Changing supplier means changing smart meter - what a load of tosh.
