Passivliving heating system. Compatible with smart meter??

anotherbob

Our gas heating is controlled by a Passivliving system. There's an app on my phone and a remote control (see pic). Is this likely to be problematic is we should want a smart meter installing?

No.

Why should it be?

I have no idea, which is why I'm asking 😊
The system is connected by LAN cable to my router, and since I have no idea of how smart meters work I thought I would enquire.
Previous experience of smart things suggests that they're not always as smart as one would hope.

A smart meter does not connect to your router, any of your devices, or your home network in any way.

It sits on the wall and runs on its own network, to which you have no access.

Thanks. That's pretty clear. 👍

The smart meter is just a replacement meter - with a communications link on its local wireless connection on its own network (HAN).

The gas meter generally talks to the comms hub mounted on the smart electric meter - and that comms hub transmits and receives data - to (your meter readings) / from (price updates etc) the outside world - on a second but independent on anything in your home - wireless network (WAN).

And to the in home display - on the HAN.


So you may need 2 new meters not one if you don't already have smart electric.
