Comment on Is there anybody over here who can tell me more about smart meters ?
jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 days agoSure, so I got a smart meter with my solar panel installation and the big difference is in monitoring.
With the old meters back in the day, you could go read the meter yourself, see what the number is, then check it every day or every week to measure your energy consumption.
With a smart meter, that’s all done through an app, and it uses patterns of energy use to identify individual appliances.

I should say too, that was almost 12:30 last night so you couldn’t really see what solar was doing.
Here it is at 9:45 this morning:
