Yes, this is my understanding. The comms hub needs WAN even if it only provides an IHD connection, Dumb doesn’t only apply to the meters.

Level 924 Hours AgoApparently Octopus have a solution
"You’re absolutely right! The Octopus Home Mini does indeed connect to your home Wi-Fi and communicates with your smart meter using Zigbee. This allows it to send your energy readings to our Kraken platform, which you can then access through the Octopus app.
If your smart meter is compatible and you have a good Wi-Fi connection, the Home Mini could be a great solution for you to monitor your energy usage more effectively. It’s designed to help customers like you get the most out of their smart meters, even in areas with limited mobile signal."
And the system Eon Next use is ............KrakenCurrent 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. -
Level 924 Hours AgoDon'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.

Level 394 Hours Ago@meldrewreborn - yeah, but you still need the SKU to provide the HAN ZigBee connection from the meter to the Home Mini, which then talks to your WiFi... 🥴

👍
Yes ZigBEE HAN is a function of the hub, not the meter, although anecdotally there are a few meter/hub combinations where the HAN might not work unless the WAN is working.
