A metering conundrum

Chris Pearson

I have just provided my monthly meter readings to my supplier. I have two supplies: both have dumb meters. After I had logged in, but no more, when I started to enter the figure, I was offered two alternative readings. Both were correct.

How on earth can my computer know this?

    Are they SMART? meters that went Dumb? Lol. The concept of a SMART meter going Dumb is surely an Oxymoron.

    Sergio, thank you, but these are dumb meters which seem to have become smart.

    Nor can there have been anything like character recognition by my iPad because I had not even looked at the second meter at this stage.

    This sounds like the DSO/DNO/MO fixing the issue of SMART meters going dumb before they get the backlash from politicians and general public about how their systems are not fit for purpose and how they have be profiteering from the price of energy at the moment.
