Re: 'Smart' Meters
Are DUMB and always have been.
I have five of those stupid home displays sitting in my Electronics recycling bin (when I can be half arsed to take them to the tip) because they won't connect to my 'dumb' meter.
Then you can't take a reading of both tariffs at the same time. You can only read the one that is operating.
As someone who spent a large part of my working life designing systems, these bits of junk are about the worst possible solution to a non problem that a politician can dream up on a wet Friday afternoon after an even wetter lunch.
I despise the things and only have one because it was a precondition of going onto an EV charging tariff (that also charges my home batteries so my peak power usage is very, very low).
As for the gubbermint not wanting to build more power stations, the cost of the dumbass smart meter rollout would have paid for a nice big one.
