[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 488543, member: 1607"] How? For more years than I care to remember most electric ovens have had a timer facility so that you can pre-set the oven to come on and start cooking the Sunday roast while you are out. Or you could leave the washing machine running while you go out to the shops so when you come back it will be ready to hang out. Or you use those cheap plug-in timers to get the table lamps to come on. Or you just leave the slow-cooker on all day, or the microwave on its timer, so your evening meal is ready when you get back home. I can't figure out how electrical consumption data from a smart meter can differentiate between a real person in the property vs a timer controlled device! Please elaborate? Doc H [/QUOTE]
