 Smart Meters - smokie
My meters are SMETS1 too. They are almost like a computer - just like other Internet of Things devices they have firmware, and can be upgraded over the air by the meter managing company (not necessarily your energy supplier!). In fact at some point my SMETS1 will be upgraded to SMETS2 which is the standard all meters will need to be on (though not all current smart meters can be upgrade).

I don't think you do anything now, unless you are interested in gathering more stats about your usage. They will be able to read your meter over the air so no more scrabbling about ion the floor with a torch under the stairs (for me*).

It might not surprise you that I have a program which runs every day to collect my usage and cost figure into a spreadsheet for later analysis. That doesn't happen at all now, after the flurry of interest.



* I used to have a light which came on automatically when I opened the cupboard door but my neighbour, a qualified Gas Safe person, said thats a no-no as it could spark an explosion if there has been a build up of leaked gas.
