Hi, I have not had anyone round to check my smart meter readings for months and months. I’d like to check the meters match my bills? Is it possible to read them the old fashioned way to check?

Hello @PeterR1947 @Transparent 

Thanks for this information, the mystery of the titles now seems to make some sense. Pity I haven’t got solar though.

Do you know how I can read the different tariffs, that is daytime usage, nightime usage separately?

Thanks

TyGwyn


Hi @TyGwyn - if you have a two rate meter you can get the separate readings by pressing button 7!


Hi 

Total newbie to meters of any kind let only clever ones !!

I am moving into a property and there are smart meters , the elctric one is flashing the gas isnt .. i dont know how to use it ..th eguy at scottish power said push the red n green buttons at the same time tried this then i tried the green and then read ..i get ..vend ..rejected..incomplete .i have signed up for monthly direct debit so help would be appreciated ..btw the first time it did say £4.60 credit , i havent used any electricity but today i tried again and there £1,79 ??? cheers 


Can you post a photo of it here ?


Thanks for your reply , im  not at the flat at the moment but i will take a pic tomorrow 


Hi sorry o

fr the delay and quality


 


The electric one flashes 5 times intermitently ,? 


Ok, try pressing 9 on each of the two meters. What happens when you do that?

Could you also confirm who your supplier is please? This may help us improve our advice


Hi 

I will try that tomorrow thanks 

Who is y supplier ? ..Now that's a question lol 

it could be Scottish power who i actually signed up with as required because they atm supply the property 

It could also be British Gas , who due to a system error on their part took over the supply the day after so who knows ?, I've been told by BG that i need to open a temp acc for 28 days , their mistake and i have to rectify it ..SP said i don't and to just leave it and in 28 days it will revert back to them automatically , im not having much luck am i lol 

username change coming soon btw 😂
