Hi all, My previous supplier installed a smart meter for me, but the IHD (In-Home Display) was never commissioned. At the time, the installation engineer told me not to worry about the IHD and to request the supplier’s own device instead, which would allow me to check readings via their app. I’ve since changed supplier,…
