Well, I was talking to EDF the other day and they said, if you believe it, that all the various smart meters are compatible as far as the supplier is concerned, relaying the info via a cellular system to a central hub, where the companies can get hold of it. as far as customers are concerned the ones I've seen seem to come with a king of touch screen remote ting that gives various options to read and set things for calculating the costs. I asked them as in the next year they are supposed to be doing my area, and I had a moan at them for not making the devices speak as this would once again mean I could not read my own meter
Bah humbug. What is the matter with these people, they have the same issue with thermostats as well. Now I happen to know that there is a talking thermostat for central heating and there is no reason on earth not to put voice on the meter as well, The speaking controller at cost price is much the same as the non speaking one soonce again bah humbug.
