    My SMETS2 meter with comms hub attached is a fair bit taller than the electronic meter it replaced.

    There are however flyleads available that allow the comms hub to be placed somewhere else. If your installer has one of these available, they'll have more options.

    There are some photos of this on the forum and if search worked better I'd be able to point you to them!

    Normally n electricity smart meters has the Comms Hub sitting on top, making it quite a bit talltaller than a non-smart electronic meter. However the CH can be mounted elsewhere, alongside or underneath, connected by cable.

    I believe some early SMETS1 meters were pretty huge, my son's pretty much filled up his meter box.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Thanks everyone, for your help and information. I'll double check I'm on the PSR - I know I used to be but it has been a while and my diagnoses are a wee bit more complex now.
