Hi

Somebody keeps turning the plug to the smart meter off, so I am going to run it off battery. I have stuck some self adhesive magnets on the back so it's stuck to the fridge.

Has anyone run the smart meter off battery? and how long does it last?

  • If you stop pulling the plug out on the in house display it will be much cheaper than batteries. I was quoted a mere 60p a year to run it off the mains.

    You might want to change the title of your thread to say "In Home Display" rather than smart meter because you are not asking about the meter.
