Hi, my android OVO app hasn't shown any electricity usage/cost since 20th October. Gas is fine. I've checked my SMETS1 smart meter and it's blinking and pausing as it should, therefore sending data. AFAIK, I have the latest version of the app, 15.5.0.

Accounts with meters that weren’t able to communicate with the DDC during the migration, will be contacted to have the meter replaced to ensure that it can communicate with us as it should be.

That check isn't working, I'm afraid. Tried in different browsers.

Probably means your meter has yet to be migrated to the DCC

All meters should be migrated by the end of  the year or they should be replaced next year.

Else i would have suggest trying one of the 3rd party apps

But i don't think that will work

Could you post a photo of your meter @Blastoise186 is great at identifying meters and may have a bit of info that is useful

Hey @squiffell ,

Have you checked the online account? Do meter readings show up there under the Meter Readings tab?

Click on view reading history and post what you see. Useful to know if the readings are regular daily smart

Okay, jeffus, I'm on the website now. This is what I see but there's still something not quite right. Wait for my next screenshot.

Check that nothing has gone wrong on your plan page regarding electricity rates

Yep, and it looks like yours up to 19 October, since then this displays for each day, different dates, of course.
