This is disappointing.
Is my Chameleon IHD3 broken?
-
It has now been nearly two days since I installed the Bright app and registered and unfortunately I'm still seeing the same "We are now getting your app up and running!". This shouldn't take more than 24 hours, which makes me think either the app isn't working or there's a problem connecting, maybe the same connection issue I'm getting with my IHD?
This is disappointing. -
@milleniumaire Do you have any feedback on this? Did you check with our customer service if we are actually receiving the readings from your smart meters?
I wonder if that could be the issue in why the Bright up is not working ? -
My IHD doesn't work, the Bright app doesn't work, I'm not getting any response from Bright app support and I've heard nothing from EON Next support, since I reported the issue nearly 3 weeks ago.
Without help from someone to rule out connectivity issues I have no chance of getting to the source of the problem! -
@milleniumaire
Sounds like a DCC issue to me. Are your meters showing on their network? Your I H D is faulty but other issues seem network related.

Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -
Thanks for the link, both meters recognised as SMETS2 smart meters.
Does this site confirm that readings are being received by EON Next? Obviously EON Next are the best people to confirm communication with my smart meter, but given they are showing zero interest.... -
@milleniumaire
It won't tell you if data is flowing in either direction. Just whether there is a link to the network or not.
-
Okay thanks. So still possibly an EON Next issue and only they can confirm this.
Anyone from EON Next like to help me out given that I'm getting nothing from your customer support department?
-
As the Bright app isn't working, today I've downloaded Loop and created an account. Fingers crossed this works, but I'm not holding my breath!
-
I agree, but how am I supposed to determine if it is a DCC issue?
The registration process for Loop seems to be more involved than that for Bright and they send emails to confirm progress, or not. Hopefully, if there's an issue connecting they may be able to provide me with some details.
I'm also considering switching to Octopus Energy as they have much better customer support ratings than EON Next. I didn't choose EON Next, I was migrated when my previous supplier failed.
If I need help from my supplier to resolve this issue, there's no point staying with EON Next.
