the meters and comms hubs are the responsibility of the supply company. And all equipment is certified to have been built as conforming to the SMETS design criteria. This stuff should work, it’s not as though the task is particularly complicated, in essence it’s readings up to the supplier and tariff prices down. Then both sets of data to the IHD.
I read somewhere recently that OFGEM had encouraged the largest suppliers into agreeing to step up their efforts to get more meters fully functional. Unfortunately I think the problems are very deep rooted and those in authority don’t have the courage to call a halt to further roll out of smart meters in favour of developing a better simpler and more robust system better suited to delivering the advertised benefits to the consumer.

Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
