Kaifa MA120 not communicating with IHD

Netexporter

My IHD has been working perfectly ever since my smart meter was installed. It suddenly stopped, earlier today, and the IHD is just going through the trying to connect routine. I had a look at the meter itself and it has 3 lights flashing very slowly. I can't find a reference as to what this means. Could it be receiving an OTA update?

Assuming you're in the south of the country and it's a SMETS2 meter, are the three lights on the comms hub?

If so, there's a guide here:

1 flash every 5 seconds from the SW, WAN and HAN lights is normal. Add the GAS light too if you have a gas meter.

Thanks. 

I was about to post that my posting had cured it, which it did, briefly. Now back to trying to connect. Must be something in the air!

Back on again. Very odd.

Is it too close to the tin foil?

I think it must be.

Funnily enough, the cavity wall insulation is an aluminumized "space blanket" type. It hasn't stopped it working before now, though.
