A smart meter, or an ‘advanced meter’, is a digital device that uses two-way communication to measure how much electricity you use and when. It records your energy usage in at least 30-minute intervals and then sends this information back to your energy retailer, allowing the retailer to read your meter remotely. Smart meters can do several other things remotely as well, such as;
- Allow the supply of electricity to be switched on or off remotely without the need for a technician;
- Measure the energy quality of your home;
- Allow your energy distributor to know when there is a power outage at your home.
