There are some more things about SM's but that is for another time.If you want to know how much your solar panels are generating, and how much you are importing, you don't need a SM to tell you that, so long as you have a smart phone, you can buy a device that will tell your smartphone via an app. I found this one <a href="https://amzn.to/4gD975t" target="_blank">Click here</a> that costs £33 that tells you what you want to know, and will always work no matter who your supplier is.I have a similar device, that I ignore, but it does show how much energy I am using. (I don't have solar or a SM) [ATTACH=full]17057[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
