smart energy monitor

I am with Octopus Energy, and have noticed that for at least the last hour my smart energy monitor in the kitchen has been flashing and rebooting itself. Today I had the internet technician at my place because I changed providers. Where the meters and the monitor supposed to be given the new WI-FI details? This feels like a dumb question but I need clarity. Thanks

The info has come back on. I feel a bit of a fool.

Although the In House Display uses the same frequency as WiFi, it doesn't use your router/hub. The IHD connects directly to your meter and does not use the internet.

The Octopus Home Mini is a different beast in a little pink box - This does use your WiFi & internet, but this is set up automatically via the app when you register the device.

We have become so used to things no longer working for the slightest of reasons that I suspect most of us now expect it.

I had that before where my IHD was working one minute and then suddenly stuck in a boot loop for about 30 mins and then just randomly fixed itself.
