But how does that effect your supplier getting readings?
That type of app would rely on the supplier getting the readings to then inform the app.
If the supplier does not receive the smart reader readings, then the same amount of electricity has still been used and the billing should revert to the old days of "dumb" meters, so estimated bill unless a manual read is noted.However it doesn’t show me ‘readings’ unless I open up the bill attachments.I don’t see how a failure of the ability to use the app could be worth £1000. I don’t understand why the OP has not been checking bills for 10 months, not noticing they are estimated and not therefore submitted readings.I think sometimes we forget that a lot of us are here because we are - frankly - a bit geeky about things. We actively enjoy honing our energy use, looking for the best deals, playing with smart tariffs etc. The majority of people aren’t like that, and the things we take for granted, or see as “just common sense” - they know nothing or at best very little about. Remember, we all had to learn this stuff once - and the person who doesn’t know the things that we do might make us look like a fool with their knowledge in another area.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
