Fuse Energy - 4g smart meter question

bnabound

I just got an email from Fuse offering to get me a new 4g smart meter. I'm quite happy to do it but I wonder if anyone has any experience with these. Specifically, I have an in-house unit that I keep a tight eye on and that I don't want to lose. Does anyone know if the 4g smart meters come with an in-house unit? Or if not, whether in-house units compatible with my current, lesser "smart" meter would also work with the newer one?

Many thanks!

The HAN should still run on ZigBee, so in principle your current one could still work if Fuse pair it. Or they might give you a new one.

But that's a big "if" and "might".

You'll have to ask Fuse.

You should probably get a new ihd to match the new meter, so make sure Fuse know you use yours and want one.

I've still got an old lcd monochrome ihd, for my smets1.

The 4g is the external to home comms to from your supplier, not the internal to home in-house display or gas meter if have one.

2g which 2g/3g models have reverted to, for meters is due to go 2033

Every home in the south / central area wiith a cellular smart meter will need a new 4g comms hub before then.
