Cambio de millones de contadores de agua y gas en toda España, más contaminación electromagnética e inalámbrica dentro de casa. Los de antes eran analógicos y los ahora emiten radiaciones.

UK Smart meter data sharing proposal #privacy concerns
Neil Record, a former Bank of England economist & chairman of Net Zero Watch, warns this scheme could lead to extensive monitoring of household behaviour
“The public should be very wary of increasingly having their household #information provided to external agents. Once authorised, this #data could reveal far more about how people live than most are comfortable with.”

You know what’s better than #SmartMeters that let you know when power is cheaper so you can adapt your usage? Government regulated affordable power prices so you can use electricity at any time of day, without having to think about whether it's cheaper or more expensive.
You're not supposed to live your life around the needs of your labour-saving devices. They are supposed to work around you.

Good ole #security through obscurity. That always ends well doesn't it?
Fascinating and concerning read as to what a national infrastructure provider fears (and possibly what stupid decisions were made in procurement of a national metering project).
ESB's refusal to give householder details of smart meter data 'heightens suspicions about surveillance'

Germany's smart meter rollout could slow further as government reduces ambitions
Obligation to install #smartmeters to apply to fewer households under draft law amendment, media reported
UK’s #SmartMeter targets leaves #energy users short-changed says Martin Lewis
I’d suggest shifting firms’ targets from smart meter installations to overall number of working #SmartMeters, incentivize firms to both installations & repairs
4m smart meters are malfunctioning in UK
Repairs are slow, if they happen at all. Resources focused on installs, consumers are frustrated, at risk of misbilling & further problems

This is why I find so called 'smart' meters, currently, a nuisance
An #electric/gas meter has always been the property & responsibility of the power corporation
#SmartMeters have a 1 year warranty, after which the homeowner needs to pay to get it fixed!
Quite simply, life continues to get worse in the #UK

For #decades #electricity #meters just worked. #Power usage either wasn't an issue because it was affordable or you had no trouble working it out. The #electricitymeters rarely needed replacement. Now I concede that as we now have so many #HMOs #smartmeters may be useful for some & emailing a number too onerous for others. But unlike the previous methods these 'smart' ones need paying for, updating, replacing & acceptance that your #data 'may' be shared.

#SmartMeters "We need to be careful that the move to smart tariffs does not exacerbate existing social inequalities. There is a danger that smart tariffs will most benefit high-income customers, those homeowners with the disposable income required to invest in energy technologies such as electric vehicles and solar PV." https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2024/0424/1328898-smart-meters-electricity-customers-ireland-advantages-disadvantages/
Since I'm into pretty much everything tech and smart home related, it might be surprising that I'm not overly keen on getting a smart meter. The opportunity to hike prices up by the minute doesn't fill me with joy, like landline phonecalls in the 90s. It appears the issue is being forced upon us though, by then getting rid of the infrastructure which powers. Economy7 meters...

Almost a third of household smart meters not working properly, says Citizens Advice https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/23/almost-a-third-of-household-smart-meters-not-working-properly-says-citizens-advice #Ethicalandgreenliving #Energyefficiency #Consumeraffairs #Energyindustry #Householdbills #Familyfinances #Energybills #Smartmeters #Environment #Utilities #Business #Energy #UKnews #Money
The point of #SmartMeters for electricity, is to allow the power company to shift the “peak" charge time to whenever you use electricity. If you shift your usage, you can bet the peak charge period will follow you. Also, get ready for #EV charging to attract a surcharge, as Smart Meters allow energy providers to apply differenital tariffs, based on purpose and voltage.
I’m looking for Water, Gas, and Electricity Meters for a customer.
Requirements:
- WiFi connectivity
- MQTT support
- Ease of installation and initial configuration
- Possibility to remotely cut off the water/gas/electricity supply
Can you recommend any out-of-the-box solution? I appreciate your suggestions!

@ChrisMayLA6 in our rural bit of the #YorkshireDales most #SmartMeters that have been fitted don't work. Very poor mobile signal and thick walls in older buildings have probably combined to hinder them. Allegedly, newer ones should work better via radio signal.. but hills and thick walls often get in the way and so they don't work. We didn't get one for all those reasons but it does mean rural areas (with already much higher costs) miss out on the off peak usage deals as they don't have smart meters.
