How can I take a dual-rate reading on my Secure Liberty 112 smart meter?

Hi there @Tim0548 !

I’m Blastoise186, one of the forum regulars. :)

If memory serves, E1 is related to which of the two tariff rates is currently active and E2 should be the other one. I can never remember which of the two is Day (Peak) and which is Night (Off-Peak) but it’s easy to figure out. Whichever one is showing at roughly 10am is the Day rate.

As for slowing the display down, I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do that I can think of unfortunately. Let me ask @Jess_OVO if she has any ideas.

Thanks again, I’m doing this for my son so I don’t have access to the meter. What we’re really trying to do is get meter readings for the supplier. Is no.9 on thekeypad the way to go?

Successfully received those meter photos, @Tim0548.

Not sure we’ve found the display you’re after but I’ll post them up here just for full visibility.

 

Quite a bit of information you’ve managed to view there, but none looks to me like a meter reading. This would usually be shown on screen alongside R01 or R02 (for the rate one or rate two reading).

I’ve just double-checked the advice we’ve given here previously and noticed you’ve got a slightly different meter model. Have you tried pressing the number ‘9’ button instead? If that fails to show the expected reading information, I’m in the process of finding a manual for this exact model so we can get to the bottom of this for you.

Do pop back if you manage to work it out in the meantime. 

I’ve managed to find a copy of the manual (It’s not easily shareable I’m afraid) and it looks like the ‘9’ button is the one to try, @Tim0548.

Give this a go and let us know if you’re still having trouble finding those Eco 7 readings. 

Tried pressing the ‘9’ button, - 1 DAY & 2 NGT don’t appear at all , all displays appear to have ’E1’

That doesn’t sound right, @Tim0548.

It could be that there’s a fault to your meter in that case. Have you been in touch with your supplier to check the meter readings are being received remotely? 

Hi all

I have a Secure Liberty 100 smart meter but can’t find the smart meter code - I’m trying to enter into USwitch

Thanks in advance 

What kind of code is it asking for @Ryan Sackett ?

Smart meter code by itself doesn’t mean much. It’s extremely unlikely you’ll find one on the meter itself though.

Actually, if you’re after the kind of data I think you’re interested in, us forum volunteers tend to recommend either Hildebrand Bright, Hugo or Loop instead of USwitch Utrack. They’re much, much more independent and less interested in trying to make a quick buck. They’ll also do pretty much everything Utrack claims to do, but with a much better track record and - most importantly - we’ve tested them out for ourselves and know they work.

It’s also important to note you cannot just compare your home against your neighbours either - you’re totally different so the results are pretty much useless. As a result, that kinda renders another of Utrack’s USP’s as moot.
