My IHD stopped working 3 days ago. When I turn it on its stuck at "searching for smart meter" screen. And don't want to display any more information. My online account also stopped on 3 days ago balance. But the smart meter itself is working and shows the actual balance. Pls help me. What can I do?
Hi
Also there will be some lights flashing on your meter, what are these and what frequency are they flashing at?
What about any lights flashing on your meter?
No lights flashing on your meter (not your IHD)?
On the meter the "Mesh" light is flashing.

Woo-hoo! A working mesh meter - the first I’ve seen depicted in these forums. How exciting!

I’m not sure it is ‘working’ at the minute .. the OP suggests that the online account and IHD have not updated in 3 days
Probably connected - or not (!). I too had problems getting readings and usage data online over the weekend, so there may have been a (separate) reason for that - DCC hiccups, perhaps. Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s usage turned up this morning, but I’m still waiting for last night’s reading.
If the mesh LED is flashing and some data have been received by OVO, the meter is connected. That’s what I was getting excited about - we haven’t heard much about mesh.

It’s suggested that there has been a data lag over the last few days and that may be why your account is not up to date.
The meter is operating locally and so should always be correct.
Although I would have expected your IHD to be still connected unless it needs the external Mesh link to work.
You could try disconnecting your IHD for a few minutes and then switching it back on but it may be that once the data begins to be reconnected, it will all work.

Bank Holiday weekend delays/glitches strike again perhaps?

Possibly … problems via other suppliers as well

Oddly enough, though, although OVO couldn’t get my data over the weekend, n3rgy could - for the first time since mid-June. It looks like DCC may have been playing with access.
I’ll have more to say elsewhere - in due course
Keep us posted please
We’re still trying to look into the direct debit issue you & Nukecad flagged
Things are slightly changed. After a top-up the online balance being updated, and also the meter but the IHD still not working.
Please go into the System Status menu on the IHD and tell me all the Status Codes you’re seeing there. I can use those to figure out what’s going on.
Gotcha - that’s an easy one. The IHD just needs to be paired again. Please let Support know and they’ll do that for you - make sure to give them that code too!

Hi
It seems our forum volunteers have already got to the bottom of this. Please let us know how you get on.
