[Tech1] Smart meters

[Alasdair Lawrance]

Every illustration I’ve seen of these meters shows predominantly £p, which is useless for trying to lower your consumption.  I assume it’s a fiddle to change, (to put you off), but can you monitor units?

Apparently my father-in-law (I never knew him) used to sit and watch the disc spinning round in the electricity meter trying to work out what was using all the power. It's the modern day equivalent really. Bill J

I didn't expect the smart meter to save me any money at all. It does have it's uses - my wife is big on garden water features and the meter allowed me to see how much power they are using, which is next to nothing.  

My sister is arriving soon in her new Nissan Leaf. It'll be interesting to see what that takes.
