I can't get my questions answers by E.On on the old chat - can anyone else answer my query?
If I get a Smart Meter and IHD will it show electricity being used now? but will it also show negative when I am exporting more than I am using?
Will it show the total I have exported in the last 3-month/year? as current FIT payment just assumes 50% exported.
Struggling to see benefit of this effort to install technology
[I know the Smart Meter won't read my separate solar meter]
To answer this question, please could you help me out for a sec? I'll need to know what Smart Meters and IHD you've got, so please could you post photos for me?
Thanks!
Just another guy passing by... The unknown tech way...
Pete is an IHD Tariff Update Robot! 🤖 Anasa is a Giant Enemy Robot Spider 🕷 🤖 Hannah is neither! Need Customer service? click here! Replacement IHD Guide? Here it is!
Thanks @theunknowntech for the offer. No Smart Meter or IHD yet - otherwise I could see what it can do. Only EON emails telling me to get one. Assume EON fit the latest model, what does it understand about power being exported rather than consumed??
Correct, all suppliers are currently fitting the latest SMETS2 meters, but it's a lottery as to whether you'll get a decent set such as an Aclara SGM1400 Series + Flonidan UniFlo + Chameleon IHD6 combo, or a horrible one like a set of Landis+Gyr meters with a SmartView 2 IHD.
Most Smart Meters can be set up to permit exports and also track them for meter reading purposes - which will be recorded separately from imported electricity so as not to disrupt billing. At very least, a correctly configured Smart Meter will not trigger Reverse Energy Detected alarms in the event of legitimate energy exports, because the power has to go back through the meter in order to reach the National Grid.
