Should I see daily Smart Meter readings online if the Comms Hub was fully operational?

If you've set it (via your account) to provide daily or half-hourly readings, yes.

Although, if your connection is patchy, you might find that it only updates intermittently.

I did not set it myself but I see it has defaulted to half hourly readings.  However there is only one reading actually shown so far and it only has a date associated with it, not a time.  I can't tell if other readings are missing becaue they failed or because my provider doesn't want to show me the full detail of 48 readings per day.

The meter doesn’t provide 48 readings a day. The default profile is 30 minute usage profiling. On the daily data pull initiated by the supplier the meter sends a return comprising of the midnight register readings and an XML file containing 48 packets of 30 minute usage data in kWh. Third parties such as Bright only get access to the XML data file.

This is typical of what a supplier should be providing you with:
