The radio teleswitch service turn off has been delayed yet again until Dec 2025.
This affects anyone with this type of Econ 7 meter because the signal switches your meter to off peak and back at certain times of day and night.
It should have ended in March 2024. (reprieved for a further 21 months)

    And any other legacy rts type metering - not just E7.

    Given Ofgem were chastising lack of progress by suppliers on replacements, the delay perhaps no surprise.

    That Octopus article is hopeless.  The radio teleswitch is to the LEFT of the meter.
    It also states that the R4 LW programmes will definitely cease in December 2025 thereby bringing about the end of the RTS service at the same time, but AFAIK that's not the case.

    "Your service head might stop working when they turn off the shipping forecast".
