We have that nonsense also in the Netherlands. To name but a few disadvantages:
- The meter itself uses energy to measure, store and send data on energy usage,
- The potential privacy impact
- Expected technical live shorther than an analog meter
- Potential for hacking/cracking
- Is not able to measure energy you produced yourself (solar panel on the roof) and gave back to the grid.
What additional worthwile information will such a meter provide me with? That I have a peak usage between 1800 and 2200? Guess what, thats when I get home, cook, watch tv and have the lights on. Do they expect me to shift those activities to 02:00?
