Is Bright smart meter app safe?

£64 are a monitor they're having a laugh, anyway I was rejected. 
I filled it in correctly so maybe they cannot access my SMETS 1 smart meter data.

Agree not paying £64. Have given them the details so will update if it works!

If you're rejected and have done everything correctly then it's just a scam to relieve people of £64. I don't have an IHD for my SMETS 1 meter it got damaged in the floods in 2015/16.

My SMETS1 smart meter, which had been dumb since 2017 started working again around September this year when Symbio must have enrolled it.

It's still working now I'm with EoN-Next and I got it configured to work with Hildebrand Bright several days ago

The Hildebrand IHD/CAD for SMETS2 meters permits the user to establish a MQTT connection to retrieve smart meter data to other devices. It is priced at what it is with no obligation to buy. The Bright App works without an IHD and it is free to download. Hildebrand also offers excellent customer support for free. I struggle to see how Hildebrand is scamming anybody. I would happily pay to use Bright App.

No IHD was in my property when I moved in a few months back.   Signed up to Bright from a post on here, needed to provide a copy of a recent energy bill, the mpan, a form of ID and record a video of myself saying that I accept their T&C.  After 36 hours or so I was rejected for not showing the name of my supplier on the bill (makes sense, as my address could have been on any letter).  Friendly email received explaining what to do.  Resubmitted and approved minutes later.   can now see my usage in pretty much real time, and can also see the history of the property too to get an understanding of previous usage

We are talking about the Bright Mobile App which allows you to see the history of your smart meter data completely free. I use it and many other on here do and there is no need to buy anything.

Does this Bright app monitor gas as well?

Yes. It will show both the usage and cost of gas. Correct cost information is conditional on the supplier sending the correct tariff information to the electricity and gas meters.
