Very useful if your on E7 or E10 as they can alter the timings so that the your appliances are still on during peak rates. This means you pay the peak rate plus a premium on top. Apparently it would be quite time consuming to hack into them, but if they were hacked into it would be very difficult to query the readings. Also a hacker could determine if you were on holiday by sudden decrease in usage and maybe looking to ransack the property. Be afraid BE VERY AFRAID.
p.s. I posted a similar comment a few weeks ago and it was removed. Which begs the question....... who's running this site?
Did you get notification that your comment had been removed from the site by the forum team or a board guide ? If not, it's likely that people just hit the spam button as they thought you were talking paranoid scaremongering rubbish...0 -

You obviously didn`t read it but thought an inane comment was better.
The research by experts at the University of East Anglia calls into question the huge upheaval and cost of the programme, which will be passed on to families through higher bills.

Isn`t this just the problem?
Some smart a*sed government minister goes off to a conference somewhere in the world, paid for by us, and promises targets that are near impossible to meet and we all suffer as a consequence.
The rest of the world goes on about it`s business and virtually ignores any agreement.
When you get China, USA and India to stop polluting then maybe we should then try to meet our target.
The reason why energy prices are so high is partly because the "big 6" are not competing and also the cost, paid for by the consumer, of meeting impossible pollution targets agreed by someone who no longer sits in parliment.
And the cost to us/of us switching every year chasing inane deals because the tariff structure are nuts. No wonder customer service is poor when there is so much industry led churn.
Wonder why that EUSSR group allowed Mr Bumble to sign up to such ridiculous targets? Perhaps they knew it would cripple us, get them off the hook and leave us to picked off at some future point......"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop...

He did it too just look how much notice his own politicians took of him;)
Pretty sure it was those tractor drivers who interpreted data in a particular way."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
