How can I take an export reading from a Landis & Gyr E470 type 5533 smart meter?

Thanks @Blastoise186 for answering.

Do you know how they (Act, App, Rea) are different ?

It’s all about power measurement.

This page tells you how to read for export:

Hi all, I am the (un)fortunate owner of a Landis & Gyr E470 type 5533 and cannot get the R2 read to show up for love nor money! I have tried the instructions above of holding down both A & B buttons for 10 seconds then pressing A to scroll through the screens but this doesn't work. I can find total import, total export and R1 import but no other reads. There must be a knack to this or something I am doing wrong. Any tips?

Howdy ​@Hobgoblin ,

Sorry to be a pain but could you snap a photo of the meter and post it here for us?

Just wanna make sure I’m thinking of the right variant - cuz there’s a TON of these pesky L+G E470 versions!

This is the beastie!

Ok, just to check - are you sure it’s the R2 reading you want? Or something else?

Just need to clarify exactly what you’re after so I can grab the right answer for ya!

Definitely the R2 read. I have solar panels and have found the export read no problem but looking to move to economy 7 and need to be able to find the readings before I'm willing to make the move!

Gotcha!

I think I got it. And it’s quite stupid how this works - which is why L+G is the bane of my life! You’re probably actually after the R02 reading.

Try this one:

• Wake up the display
• Hold B for a few seconds
• Press A a few times and it should give you several readings - one of those should be right

Please note that this reading may not be available if the meter is currently running on a Single-Rate tariff. You’d need to use MyOVO in that case under the Usage tab.

Sadly that hasn't worked. It may be as you say that with the R2 not active then it won't show but you would think it should show up as a zero read. Thanks for replying so quickly though, much appreciated!
