Hi there, a few years back I opted for a Smart Meter to be fitted by Scottish Power. The engineer although fitted the Electricity side he skipped installation on the gas side as he claimed he could not “commission” the meter i.e. no network.

They never returned to finish the job and I never chased as I was submitting manual meter readings anyway.

I just changed to OVO and they fitted a NEW electricity smart meter and also gas so now after 3 years I can actually monitor my usage.

 

My question is.. I still have the unused IHD3 from Scottish power and powered it up for the first time, you can toggle through the usual stuff and there’s an “engineering” mode and it says “Join Network” however I doubt it would be that simple so I pressed it anyway. Nothing happened as expected as I’m sure there are more steps involved.

 

So is it possible to have an additional IHD3 display in the house albeit regardless of supplier? Any instructions on how to do it?

 

Cheers all

I don’t think the IHD3 is an option @andi88 as it needs to be paired with your meters and that gets into authorisation. You can have multiple IHD’s but that generally works when you purchase a unit and go through the pairing routine via the manufacturer. 
Others available are from Hildebrand and Chameleon (ivie bud)

Most IHD3 units are also SMETS1, which won’t work with SMETS2 meters
