[QUOTE="flatowner, post: 488493, member: 26137"] Smart meters today are front page news (Daily Mail). But I cannot find anything about data privacy. I am worried that when I change to a smart meter that information will be collected that could be hacked (Yahoo to Equifax show no company can be trusted). Knowing electricity usage allows burglars to know when you are regularly out. Smart meters, I recall reading somewhere, have a bug fault such that a switch to a new supplier stops recording usage. Is this true or does it apply only to the SMETS1 or also to SMETS2? Do supplier differ in privacy options and if so which offers the best control over usage data? I would appreciate help since I am confused.Thank in advance, [/QUOTE]
