I've had a call from our energy supplier offering a smart meter for our electricity supply. (I say offering - they obviously want to put one in).
Part of me says I can't bothered.
Part of me says what can be the harm.
I would add that I have a remote power metering device already attached so I can see what our real time and historical consumption is. And that has been not very useful over the last few years other than to confirm that our new fridge freezer consumed less (before the bills told us the same thing) - and that our old Humax PVR consumes more than we would like.
So are these things worth the hassle? Any downsides?
