I can't read the meter because one it is in colour (as in red lights) not black & white clear numbers, which was hard enough but doable.  A smart meter is not just a read & go it is a press buttons & read.  It is bend over, twist, press & read.  I am 79 with an iffy back.  The major issue is when the supplier can no longer read the meter.  I will thankfully be able to fabricate the meter reading from the info I have & I seriously doubt they will know the difference.  But I will lose the export value.

If you're with Octopus, get a Home Mini. If you're not with Octopus, look into them. 15p kWh export.

Not to dismiss the Mini but I don't think it will show the meter reading.  If it can then that would be good to know.

I don’t know, but they don’t show export until it ends up on the Octopus’s servers, although they show negative on the live screen, if you are exporting more than import.

It would indeed.
