Hi
If your Eon smart meter home display is not working and it's out of warranty do you have to pay for a replacement?

    You will have to buy one from a 3rd party I would have thought. Eon won't replace it and not sure they would even sell you one.

    Or just download an app like Bright and not need an IHD at all.

    I don't think you can DIY replace an IHD, pretty sure it has to be paired with smart meter communications hub. Bright is able to do it because it pretends to be your existing hub, you have to supply the current IHD details on installation.

    Yes, I've seen people putting their IHDs up for sale on eBay and I have to wonder if that's ever resulted in a satisfied customer.
