Economy 10 & Smart Meters

Sorry - floating in and out of multiple threads - I sometimes forget the history.

Your right there was no need for me to guess it might be the 1422 given the picture earlier.

The twin element thing also came up in the Rosie1001 threads as well.

Yes that's the twin element in the series. 

The technical manual - definitely not the user manual - gives some details of the differences specific to the secondary measurement - and the information logged for it depending on mode - and I am sure that EDF not only could have - but should have been aware of those differences - and any impact for billing.

But someone clearly chose that model - rather than say as others here have had fitted from the same series - like say the 1415/6 single element 5 port meters with onboard 100A switching and ALSC for standard E7 / E10 type applications.

9 days after my last post, and almost 2 months since the installation, EDF now telling me there are “system issues” when trying to bill the type of meter I got.  The meter I never asked for, the meter they wanted me to have by threatening to withdraw my tariff.. oh and I now have 4 meter readings.  You couldn’t make this up!

Make and Model number of meter would be helpful please.

I put the photo of it up on here back when it was installed (page 4 of thread) Alcara SGM 1422b

Sorry, missed it, thanks!

No problem.  It is switching over to the so called cheaper times as the water is being heated.  I don’t think it’s switching at the right times however, for example the water is being heated at 8am.  It started out as giving me a TOU Rate 1 and TOU Rate 2.  Since I have asked EDF what is going on, it now also gives a Second TOU Rate 1 and a Second TOU Rate 2.  So have 4 readings!  They also have now got the peak rate tariff price showing there.

at the minute it is making no difference to the total cost of electricity I am using as if they bill me at the standard variable rate for everything it is working out almost exactly the same as the E10/7 split rates.  I keep a daily check and being a numbers geek have spreadsheet calculating the cost.  

Only issue is I can’t send them readings in the app to have an up to date bill..
