No one is ever going to pay enough to put proper security on all these devices with IP addresses - and soon the fun will start !

Not at my house it won't, when they phoned to offer me a meter I told them about my decoration and unwillingness to have it disturbed and they kindly said they'd leave me 'til last!

This seems to say no, and then yes.

Reading this I would say technically yes but they don't want to.

As a matter of interest anyone know about those meters you see in the pic? They are HH meters and have an RS232 and antenae coming out of them so are presumably wireless.

Once again @snowhead comes up with the goods literature wise, that was brill. I went down the rabbit hole looking that up and the software. I think the meter might have been disposed of in the process of all the work with the rest of the rubbish. Could be someone might dissemble it or something. I know a man that builds meters like this might have chat with him. I think the subject of "smart" meters bears some deep scrutiny considering the implications of what they can do.

No one is ever going to pay enough

I think my bills alone will support that and Trident personally.
