smart meter - location
Octopus are offering me a smart meter. It would be located in my kids play room in a boxed off cupboard. (old garage conversion many years back) for electricity one. Gas meter through the wall on outside.
I do plan at one point to turn this into a bedroom where we will move into it and our youngest (6) gets older and wants a bigger room can move into ours and been reading online about safety etc but there all from American sites.
I just wondered if I should just not bother and leave it as it is....

It's as safe as a wifi access point, an iPad, a smartphone, a smart TV or a smart lightbulb.Unless you plan to exclude all those things from your home, you probably shouldn't worry about it.N.
