Smart meter diatribe

What does the panel think about this?

Smart meter scam?


I'm interested in a professional qualified view as this character is pretty ruthless regarding the energy suppliers

    Now, I do think that data mining is a real possibility that would benefit the larger suppliers. We know it happens in many other areas digitally, Cambridge Analytica for one, so why not sophisticated software able to decipher the blips of electronic noise generated from the many examples of 'IOT' ?





    Presumably someone would have to hack the smart meter itself and replace its software to get access to the 'raw noise' - otherwise pretty much the only interesting data available would be the kWh totals for each half-hour for the last 13 months.

    Well, I would imagine that Its not difficult to develop software to listern into the 'starts and stops' and design  We really don't know how secure this stuff is and be assured that nobody would let on it it was a load of old crock.
