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

https://www.glowmarkt.com/

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

Could be that. My meter is from 2014. Still doesn't Explain why the android app and my OVO account website stopped displaying electricity usage information.

Yep. 

All we can realistically do is look for pointers about the issue that you can then feedback to the ovo support team.

We can tell quite a bit by asking questions which usually helps. 

On the Usage page, on the Year tab, is there anything in the running total so far for November? Or is that blank as well

It's blank as well. But View Meter History shows readings for each day after 19 October, see screenshot way up.

Yep that is the one good thing. 

That should mean your bills are updating fine

Can you check them?

The bills don't use the usage screen
