do you have any source for this allegation? Why would my smart meter need to get usage for others?

They gather all the individual data at the office surely, then work out what different areas use.. Otherwise, what, one meter's smarter than the rest and does the calculation and sends it off ?

For the general power useage of the given areas, i plan on getting a meter and testing our one for myself to see whats true and what isnt, but it seems fairly logical to me, why would they not be used as a ruling stick to gauge consumption, why were they designed for in the first place...

that makes absolutely no sense at all. Why? Why does my meter need to know if Mrs Miggins at number 54 is having a long shower?

sparkychap - 2021-01-03 14:26:00

I'd be wanting the one smartest meter at my place... I don't trust those other people's meters.. They might try and blame me for using all the power.

mechnificent - 2021-01-03 14:26:00

It's all one big conspiracy Sparky.. You must know that.

absolutely. It makes no sense that any meter would need to know the “general consumption of the area”. What’s it going to do with it? Randomly turn my heat pump on if it thinks I’m not using it enough?*

*that’s another crazy theory, btw.

martin11 - 2021-01-03 16:17:00

I don't want any meter. I am sick of paying the bill. Every month they send it and then if you don't pay it they take the free gift off you and you end up paying 150% interest on it. How dodgy are they charging the prices they charge then offering a credit or gift.

complicated to do and waste of $$$ to have the meter do it.
very easy to do that back at the power company office, their computers will analyse all the data for all users and know exactly whats going on with their grid.

Wut? Just pay your bill on time. We are with Powershop and buy our power ahead of time, so no surprises.

Its not like me to side with the conspiracy freaks, but power usage profiles have been used to locate urban dope-growers.
Those grow-lights use heaps of power.

The good thing about Trump is that he wasn't a politician. If he'd been a better person too, he would have been a winner. Not that it matters, I don't see how anything can save the US now, the globalists have won.
