As previously posted, we were scheduled to have Smart Meters installed
by Octopus just over a week ago.
The installation went very smoothly- the chap was very professional and
more than happy to answer questions etc.
We had the choice of a 'table top' display or an interface which we
could access via an App. As, with either, there is also an App to access
our data from Octopus and the table top one doesn't need your phone etc
to hand, we opted for that.
It took a couple of days for System to register our meter etc and, while
the local display is (more or less real time), the website lags.
One niggle, the in house display only shows total electric kW (or £),
not Hi/LO if you have economy 7. To get those details, you need to read
the meter itself.
We only had one installed due to loss of the 198kHz time signal.
