    Ovo's smart meter failed to work for months until eventually Ovo agreed to return to fix an external aerial.

    The smart meter detects direction of current, so it can measure the power in and the power out. Household energy consumption does not need to be be measured.

    I understand that the SM can detect direction of current but that current will be the net current ...household demand less any Exported PV power. We generate a consistent 2200 kWh pa. and our draw from the Grid has reduced from ca. 3800 to 2700 kWh is 1100kWh which is 50percent of our generation.
