    I was chatting with a meter reader the other day, about smart meters. He said he recently had to read 48 smart meters in a brand new block of flats, they were sited in the intake room 2 floors below ground level. Consequently all were dumb. He said the meter companies don't care, they are paid by the government to fit them and that's that.




    I don't know about Smart Meters, but AMR Meters (Automatic Meter Reading) which we have recently had fitted, one for gas one for electricity both have inbuilt remote aerials. The electricity one was left within its case and the gas one affixed about 2 metres up the wall. Unlike the smart meters I have seen, both of these communicate independently of the other to whatever/wherever. There was reference to a SIM card, so maybe mobile phone?
