    Really?

    Do you have a source to substantiate that claim, as I provided the source to the advice I provided. :cool:


    You did indeed provide information relating to IGTs but its not the reason why BG don't fit them.

    I can not provide you with a source, as there is nothing written. Only how we work.

    I know this has been thrashed to death but really, why bother or worry about smarts? I am quite happy with my bog standard meters and there is nothing to be gained for me in having a smart.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Why bother or worry about Ferrari's?

    Simple answer is that some people want them, while others are happy with a Ford.

    Personally I won't consider them until SMETS2, but some people want them now, and other don't want them ever. There is nothing wrong with either option.

    But there is something wrong in the head for wanting smart meters.

    Somebody I knew believes that if the dishes come out with food still stuck to them, he should send the dishwasher back and demand a refund. In any case he refuses to do dishes, so the wife and daughters have to do them.

    People with sense know hands on effort can't be avoided, and believing in labour saving hype is just self delusion.
